i am hopeless at this blogging business.
but i am also beginning to like it, i mean i never didnt like it, but now i realllly like it.
at 3.30 this morning i was eating party pies and talking on facebook 'chat' to my best friend who is currently in croatia. was a rather random night i should say.
those party pies did NOT go down well though. and i dislike fb chat immensly. i mean isnt the point of facebook to write to people and write back when you feel like it? sum everything up in one nice little message or wall post in order to get rid of the frivolity? as well as that you have a choice- if you want to write back or not. no boring people bugging you, just ignore them.
but oh no, chat changes all that. suddenly people you dont really want to talk to (or you would have called them) pop up on right hand of screen 'hi how are u'. after a few minutes of meaningless chatter the damn thing stops working anyway and you go offline. usually i save the trouble and just appear offline.
HOWEVER last night i will give 1 point to fb chat. yes, it cut out about 3 times. but it also allowed me to have a (relatively) instant conversation with best friend, who i miss a lot and havent been able to speak to properly for about a month as she travels europe, except the occasional text at an odd hour of the morning. lucky next week she will be all settled into her uni in sweden and we can go on skype.
and while i am admitting fb chat wasnt so bad last night, skype will always be better!!!

Man I remember spending hours on AOL instant messenger when I was 13 or 14. Everyone did. Facebook wasn't around yet.
Maybe that makes me old. Crap.
