Two things before naptime:

1) According to the company magazine, for the fiscal year of 2013, Walgreens sold 90,000 bottles of nail polish a day, every day. I feel as if I have bought at least a fourth of those.


2) Other than the resurgence of T.S. and a few awesome people, I have reached the point where my facebook reactions to just about everything else are along these lines:












Nope. Just... nope.

I often feel that way about Facebook. I finally just hid a few people from view because the shit they post routinely offends me and it's not worth it. I try to just ignore stuff I don't like rather than post my dissenting opinion (unless it's my sister) because I find it's just not worth getting myself upset. I hate it when my uncle Matt comes on my wall just to argue with something I've posted so I don't want to be that person to someone else (even though they're WRONG, ALL the time, grrr!) But recently it just got to be too much and I was having a really hard time keeping quiet so I just hid it all from view so I wouldn't be bothered anymore.

Anything specific bothering you?

I tried the hiding people (two of my cousins, my brother's ex who, I swear, for awhile posted stuff so similar to one of the cousins that I didn't know which person was saying which stupid thing) but lately it is just about everyone with maybe five exceptions.

It's not even something overt where I can point to it and say "This. THIS." It's just little things, I guess? For instance, I commented on someone's link about not all "real women have curves" and someone else followed up with "There is no such thing as a real woman, all humans deserve a baseline of respect" and I just kind of wanted to smack them because clearly that's the takeaway from this. Petty and stupid.

Or back on Veteran's Day when people kept posting that "I'll send my granddaughter to school on VD when kids go to school on Martin Luther King Jr Day." thing Posted by people I would normally not want to smack but geez... Both, assholes. You should hope for both. You used to have to hide certain levels of douchebaggery and now you just roll it out there and put it on display for all the world to like.

Ugh, yes, this. I still refrain from posting things that I know are likely to set people off on Facebook because I'm not interested in the drama, but I feel like I'm one of the very few. Everyone else just spews out this written diarrhea and it makes me crazy.

On the other hand I also happen to have a lot of religious freaks on my wall because the community theater I'm a part of just happens to attract the crazy religious. So these are people that I for the most part like in real life, but their walls are all God this and God that and I'm so blessed and *hurl* I feel like I can't post any of my anti-religious stuff or genuine questions I have because I know it will offend the majority of the people who read my wall. It sucks having to censor myself because I'm afraid of what others will think/say. I wish I could just be a confident bitch like my friend Rachael who posts whatever the hell she feels like and takes no shit from anyone. Her wall is endlessly entertaining, often because I find myself laughing at her audacity. I could never post the stuff she does.
