This weekend was insane, in more ways than one. Austin has tons of things to do, and it has such an earthy local feel. I love it. We did end up going to that psychic fair, and I had my chakras opened. (That was an experience!) I also went to a gift shop and got souvenirs from my own state... that felt a little strange. I found earrings in the shape of Texas, and I would have bought them had they not been red, white, and blue. But it made me wonder if it was possible to find earrings in the shape of other states, like Louisiana or Idaho... somehow I doubt it. I think Texas is the only state that is weirdly proud of their awesome shape. Kind of a bummer, because I was looking for a necklace to express my Wyoming pride. ....
Anyway, I took a break from writing this blog post to go on a major facebook friend purge. I deleted well over half of my friends, and I have under 200 right now, made up of people that I would actually consider myself close to. It felt really good to look at my friends list and just delete everyone who I am legitimately not friends with... there were a few whose names I didn't even recognize... I mean, I don't think I could ever completely delete my facebook. As much as I hate it sometimes, it is an incredibly powerful tool that allows me to keep in touch with people I care about. But if I'm "friends" with a bunch of people I don't care about, all facebook becomes is a license to stalk, judge, and gossip with absolutely no consequences. Kind of scary. And while I know that much of my stalking is innocent and positive, a big part of me wonders whether it's any of my business that a random acquaintance from high school dumped her boyfriend or transferred to a different school. Facebook allows that kind of stuff to spread really fast, but it's sort of creepy how much people can know about you without ever actually talking to you. I mean, remember when people had to actually call you (or talk to you IN PERSON) to know your business? Facebook is taking over the world!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, I've got to practice. But seriously, if anyone reading this finds a pair of Ohio earrings, I will give you $20.
