Facebook thoughts.

I think Facebook is a lot of fun. Mostly because I enjoy seeing how ridiculous some people are and what they share with their virtual social world. For example, this is one of my favorite posts right now:

"Dec. 25 is for Jesus not for Santa. (Repost if You Believe in Jesus !) P.S He Knows You Looked -deny me in front your friends and I will deny you in front of my father"

Really? I don't think Jesus cares if I repost that or not. And I don't need to let people know that I believe in him through my Facebook.

Every once in a while I will put up my own Facebook status. And believe me, whenever I do it is a hit. Notifications left and right. For instance, a few weeks ago I wrote something really simple. "Sometimes I buy cookie dough just so I can eat it." The result? 34 likes. And 17 comments. In a matter of days. And the majority of people who liked/commented were girls. What does that say for them? That they do the same thing? That's not attractive. And tonight I put "Did I really just eat a whole box of fruit snacks in a few hours? Yes. Yes, I did." The result so far? In 20 minutes there have been 8 likes and 2 comments. All girls. Really? Please don't tell me you really do that. Besides, by "few hours" I meant about 48. Or 2 days. That's basically normal, considering it's finals week. Apparently people can't get enough of my eating habits.

My life is never boring.

Great news! After this Friday night, I will only have one more Friday night shift for the year! (and if they try to schedule me to work another weekend night, I will refuse.) Tonight's shift is especially painful. The OACL people are having their annual Christmas party tonight. Of course. I emailed to ask if I could still go and just leave the lab unattended for a few minutes... or hours. What's the worst that could happen? Those guys playing World of Warcraft in the back room really don't look that dangerous. And that lady who is here every Friday night, well, she's here every Friday night and does nothing. So in reply to the email, I was told I could go to the party from 6:30 to 7:00. 30 minutes? Lame, but I'll take it. The one downside: the party starts at 6:30. Who goes to a party right when it starts? Well, I did. And you can bet that it was just me and the old lady who works here with her husband. Finally around 6:45, people started showing up. And at 6:50 I actually got to eat some food in a rush so I could make it back to the lab by 7:00. Oh well, their loss because it's not going to be much of a party without me there. I'm pretty much a big deal. Ok, not really. But I did want to hang out with my friends longer...

Other news: Classes are officially over! And one week from now I will be right back at this lab with no homework, no responsibility, and no life. But that's ok because finals will be over!

Fun moments in the labs this week: Some lady just started blasting some Bob Marley because she plugged her headphones into the wrong place. On Wednesday we were bored, so we made 3D snowflakes. Thank you, YouTube! As I was trying to hook them to the ceiling tiles with a nifty paperclip chain, we hummed Christmas carols. I might have been mistaken, but I would say that the lab patrons thoroughly enjoyed it. Or maybe those were just annoyed looks. Oh and my friend Allison from the labs totes just came and said hi. (I never ever will say "totes" out loud. It even makes me cringe just typing it. But it's an inside joke I guess.)

And last of all, here is the best YouTube video I have seen this week. Enjoy!
