Facebook and a J-O-B

I'm not much for online chat. I just don't get it. But, then, as a teenager I never was on the phone very much either. Sure, I had a few phone calls to the boyfriend but aside from that, I wasn't the type to call you and keep you on the phone, boring you to tears because I was bored too.

And, the new online communities have been similar for me. I never really got them. But, tonight, I'm realizing that maybe...just MAYBE, I might be missing out on something. Someone put in a friend request on a Facebook account I created months (maybe years) ago and it got me looking around for other folks. First off, I'm a little scared by how many people that have pics of them holding their KIDS in pics. But, well, my pic shows me holding a child--except she's not mine.

But, I have messaged several people I haven't even seen since high school over seven years ago. And, I never would have thought I'd talk to any of those people again. And, I have to admit, I messaged one person whose face I remember, but for the life of me I can't remember her. I do know we went to high school together...but I haven't a single memory of talking to her!!! It makes me feel terrible. I only hope she can jog my memory.
(BTW, she's listed a room for rent by USA that might be perfect for me, crazy crazy world).

But, in other news, I finally found out I got a job I interviewed for over two weeks ago in the USA PR office. It is a pretty serious gain for me, in my mind at least. I will have more professional-like responsibilities, not just the usual student assistant drudgery to deal with on a daily basis.

I'm excited about these two new changes. I was starting to feel hopelessly alone, overlooked, and left out. And, it turns out that life, in fact, was only giving me a two week vacation!

I love that life can be so wonderful at times. (I feel my dad grinning at me and the way I worry needlessly!)

And, a final note: Super Paper Mario for the Wii is the BEST GAME EVER MADE!! YOU MUST PLAY IT. It IS that good. I'm only two levels away from beating the entire game, in only 8 days. I've only beaten one other video game and it took me months to do it. Paper Mario is ADDICTIVE. BE YE WARNED. (and, yay for new Pirates movie next weekend!)
Ciao.
