I'm a Bit Behind

Posted by Susie Felber
Really behind.

Oh ho ho ho!

Thing is I've got recent thrilling vid of a trip to the Central Park Zoo, the Bethel Woods 60's Museum and mucho mucho more!

But I need my commentary to sizzle as much as the cinematic moments.  And at the moment, it's after 11P on a weeknight and I don't got it.  

Also, everyone I've ever known ever is finding me on Facebook and it's starting to freak me out.  At first it was fun, but now I'm creeped out by the people who I haven't seen in about 15 years who "friend" me but then don't say howdy.  Especially when they use a picture of their babies instead of themselves so you have no idea of the ravages the years have taken on them.  That's not fair.  Also, did you disappear when you had kids?  No.  So enough already with using your babies for your profile.  You make all the people without babies who want them feel bad and all the people without babies who don't want them gag.  Not cool. 

Of course now I'm tempted to do the same to up the stakes in this arms race of cuteness.  So far I've been able to sit on my urge.

And worse than using your kid as a profile pic is using your spouse AND your kids as your profle pic.  Yes, we get it, someone agreed to have sex with you -- do we need to see the whole family?  Also, I can't see your wrinkles with those wide shots so cut it out. 

OK Internet, I'm feeling annoyed. 

I'l be my stinking rosy flower of a self tomorrow for sure.

xoxo,

Susie

We are both glad to say that we have never ever logged onto Facebook - maybe that's why we have so few "friends" but the ones we do have are REAL FRIENDS. A friend in need is a friend in deed just like you, Susie.

Aw, you guys.  Thanks for the nice comment!  Big love to Yorkshire!  Give Brind a kiss on the snoot for me.

I've considered getting a My Space/Facebook/whatever page, but (1) I kind of feel too old (my stepchildren, nieces and nephews are all on) (2) I've got nothing to promote, (3) don't like the idea of random people looking me up.  I'm kind of glad not to be on the grid.

Oh and I hope the baby profile thing doesn't apply to parenting websites.  I just replaced the Babble standard baby with my (much more adorable-er) son.  Not to mention the sad fact that I am so rarely camera-ready.  :-)

I am quite sure I am WAY too old for facebook/myspace/twitter whatEVER. And who has the time for all this internet companionship? I can barely stay up past 10pm most nights, and it is up at 5:30 most mornings, with lots of joy and crap in between. And I am just getting used to this blogging stuff. But that has led to discovering some fun people so it is good. Lovely diaper shot!

Now I wish I was on Facebook just to see the lame baby profile pics.

Melissa: I so do not have a problem with you or anyone else using a babe pic here on Babble!  I think it's awesome and he IS adorable.  However if you went to high school with me and I hadn't seen you in a dog's age (two dog's ages) I'd be pretty peeved if you'd erased all those years and more by putting your spawn's pic up instead of yer own on a social networking site.  

M: You are so far from too old.  Not having interest or time I understand, but I aint buying the old act Ms. Thang! :)

Bobbie:  Why isn't your rump on FB.  Come on, I mean REALLY!
