okay so I was going to write today about several things which have been going through my otherwise frazzled mind this week like PIPES?! are they making a comeback? i’ve seen two men in the past two days walking down the street puffing on those old-fashioned babies and while I am not advocating smoking in any way it did strike me as a pleasantly uncanny sort of novelty kind of like when you attend a cultural festival and you see Clydesdale horses pulling along a cart and then I was going to write about a certain reality dancing star who I have a slight crush on and anyone who follows me on twitter will know who I’m talking about so last night in between the half-hour shifts of attending my sick son I thought why not for funsises I’d look up said dancer on Facebook and Lo! and Behold! there he was and then I realised I have more Facebook friends than he does and what the hell is up with that? All to point to the complex and baffling nature online social networks I still haven’t been able to academise in my head yet and before you ask I stopped myself as adding him as a friend because dudes that is bordering on the weird and I am not weird
not usually anyway
I need sleep

Two thoughts I had whilst reading this blog:
who is this reality dancing star of whom you speak (surely Jack has a long list of facebook friends)?
Also, facebook has surely become a strange phenomenon for me, I have been able to contact friends from eons ago, but I am tending to add ‘friends’ for the sake of curiosity - I never thought I could be such a stickybeek. I have never before been sucked into such a network as this. Do I have a problem?
PS Love the haircut!

Love how sleep deprivation can set the brain whirring with high speed random thoughts. Thought yours were hilarious, but I am so out of the loop with TV at the moment would have no idea who the dancer is!!!!

Oh my, you really are sleep deprived girl! That was hilarious.
(I still don’t quite get the Rhys obsession, I mean, he’s a great dancer, but, he’s very gay! ….)
Did you check his myspace?… cos, don’t you remember, according to my daughter, facebook is for OLD people!

I could get behind pipes making a comeback. Maybe some sort of herbal tobacco rather than um well tobacco?
I’m trying to bring hats back myself, it’s a challenge in Bris-Vegas.
Oh yeah I forgot to say that the hair looks cool too.

PS. Resident Teenage Expert’s other theory is that he would be too busy dancing to be checking his facebook, and therefore probably has a million requests queued up waiting…
… Or maybe you just ARE more popular!!

So… is this post like a blog version of punctuation darts? We stand ten paces back with a handful of full stops and just throw them at the board?

I’m too old for both Facebook and MySpace. I keep hearing about people who posted pictures of themselves in compromising positions and then are surprised at getting turned down for jobs. It’s not a scrapbook, it’s PUBLIC!!! I realize most of the people who use it have sense, but it’s all I can do to keep up with a blog.

Tracey - well, you triggered and idea, so I went to myspace (yes, I am sad) and it said on there he has signed a media embargo or some such so he cannot post even if he wanted to. Probably means adding friends. Oh, I’m sad.
Mr V - you can do that if you wish

Oh and Lee - I’m with you on that hats! Bringing them back one at a time
