What is Wierd About You/Myspace Rant

I have always had an issue with using a dish from the dish rack. I guess I feel like it was too recently dirty. Or, you know when you really need a fork, but they are all dirty so you wash one really fast. Yeah, I have a really hard time with that too.
If it's still wet.. ick.
If you dried it with a dish towel.. ick.

There I feel better now.

Speaking of things that bother me though. Myspace.com. Every single time I naively look at at a myspace page I am amazed. What makes people think that some hideous, busy, and distracting picture is a good background? Hello, we can't even read your text! Also, don't put music on your site. Please. I mean paleeeeeeeeease. I don't want to hear some low quality, slow loading, music that is not of my choosing. Then there is the issue where all your friends THINK they know their myspace address and yet mysteriously it takes 30 minutes of searching myspace and then google because myspace search sucks to locate the page. I think they do that on purpose to keep you on myspace longer. And last but certainly not least, once you finally find the page you are looking for, you can't actually view anything unless you sign up. Brilliant. Annoying.

I play an online game, ffxi and it seems like everyone you meet has a myspace. It's part of our culture now despite my feelings. Like the Ipod, blogging, IMing, and the use of 'lol'. I will never escape it. I don't feel however that, that is any reason to stop ranting about it!

One side note though, parents for the love of god supervise your children online. It is scary how many teens are online begging for someone to pay attention to them. You may not realize it, but there is some freak on the internet who does.

She is small, and very funny.

In perspective Ara is very small, but look through my eyes and her face fills my vision. I was trying to teach her about kisses today and by the her bath time she kept offering me her 'My Little Pony" to kiss and giggling. My persistence paid off though because as I carried her to bed she gave me 7 kisses! Her birthday is in 12 days now and I am feeling so nostalgic about last year and how I can't believe it's been a year, and how she has grown so much. Today, she was entertaining herself by standing at the coffee table and driving a toy car back and forth. She even makes the car sounds, so ferociously so that she drools like a mad woman. I sat watching her play and every once in a while she would look up at me and smile. She doesn't find it odd that her Mother stares at her all the time! We took a walk downtown today since it was pretty mild summer weather. I felt on top of the world strolling along with my girl. We stopped in some of the shops, we shared an organic fruit pop from the CoOp, we got Joey a 250 year old salt rock from the Himalayas (don't ask), and Ara toppled a book display in the charming book store. Good times!
