Perfectly Good Reasons for A Missing Post

So, I was just conversing with a friend about blogging and such, and how I always try to post on Finding Something Friday. And then I went and missed my post on Friday. But I have perfectly good reasons that are, coincidentally, writing-related.

Reason One:

My very last ever Institute of Children’s Lit assignment was due on Friday. It was kind of a long and involved assignment that required not only a splendiferous children’s story, but also three different market analyses and a cover letter. I had more or less finished the assignment by Friday; all I had left to do was a quick edit of the more or less finished story, the three analyses and the cover letter.

Reason Two:

Facebook keeps sucking me into its vortex of virtual voyeurism. That may not sound like a legitimate reason, but believe me when I say resistance is futile. Unless you are the beneficent Mr. Hall. He left a message for me about Facebook…I’m not sure whether he’s making fun of my note system of leaving messages on the mirror, or if he’s making a statement about Facebook. Or possibly, Mr. Hall has managed to make two statements in one. For the sake of the kiddies, I attempted to convert certain letters to asterisks (no pun intended) before taking the picture.

Is Mr. Hall trying to tell me something? And if you happen to come across my ICL assignment, somewhere on Facebook, let me know, huh?

Facing up to Facebook Love

Remember that old (really old) song that Judy Garland sang to Clark Gable, “You Made Me Love You”?

You made me love you.
I didn’t want to do it.
I didn’t want to do it.
You made me love you…
And all the time you knew it.

Now I’m sucked in to the Facebook vortex and there’s no way out.

You made me happy, sometimes.
You made me glad.
But there were times, FB, you made me feel so bad.

Like when I’m overwhelmed by all the applications and stuff…I mean, geez. How do kids figure out all this technology?

I don’t care what happens,
Let the whole world stop.
As long as I’m concerned, FB,now you’re the tops!
‘Cause you know you made me love you.

Check on me every once in awhile. Because if I don’t come up for air from Facebook, my world kinda will stop.
