Apr. 20th, 2010 11:57 pmSo... a friend of mine expressed a wish to see a current pic of yours truly, and I didn't have any. I said I hate to be photographed these days... but then I decided to get over myself and at least TRY to take a pic that wouldn't look disgusting. It took about fifty failed (and instantly deleted) attempts or so... but there it is.:D
In other news, I just removed my Facebook account. There was no point to it, really, and I started getting "friend requests" from people I didn't even know, which sort of freaked me out. Plus, there's just too much talk about Facebook at my workplace. Everyone seems to be on it. And I had always considered my online life to be something entirely separate from my "professional" life, such as it is. I do not want that to change. LJ is my safe haven, where I do not have to flaunt my legal identity in everyone's face, so to speak (those who do know my "real" name are discreet enough not to use it here). Oh, and btw - the friend who had originally invited me to create a FB account has disappeared from the site as well, with no explanation whatsoever. I took that as a sign... my own cue to leave the scene, so to speak. Whoever was on my friends list over there can reach me by other means, should they choose to. I just didn't feel comfortable there and couldn't quite see the purpose of the whole thing. It was frustrating to even look at it, somehow. Call me weird. *shrug*
Anyway... LJ is my online home of choice, and here I shall remain.:)

and I totally envy your hair..*twirls obsessively*
It´s what I would call Adorable Floatingleafinesseiness ..and you can write that straight down in our TM!book. =)
You look fairylike to me. And you´re...glowing!
Omg I was so happy to see this, I think you´ve made my day.
Facebook!Goodbyeness!! Yep - there it goes. Since I´ve never had one in the first place I don´t know the feeling of letting it go but something tells me that by the way you describe it; mixing up RL and online!life in a most disturbing way I am glad that I have refused the whole thing this far.
It´s scary! Everyone and their grandmother is on facebook.. WTF?!! *pretends to neverever have heard of it*
