Facebook

It's official, I'm a sell out.  Not only your avereage sell out, but the worst kind.  I vowed I would NEVER EVER get a Facebook account and now I'm completely addicted.  I'm disgusting, I comment on everything.

I feel like its still a hidden pleasure of mine.  My profile is hidden and completely unsearchable.  I only add friends to my personal discression yet I still managed to get over 150 facebook friends rather quickly.  Now I feel like I know everything.

I know who's visiting the area from out of town, I know who's sick, and all other kinds of too much information.  Its an incredible time sucker, but the best way to keep in touch with friends from study abroad or other trips. :)

Life pre-iPhone?

I've had my iphone for a month and I already don't know how I could have possibly lived without it before.  I'm obsessed.  Driving through a neighborhood with my boyfriend, wondering what to eat, I pull out my iphone and search the yelp application for nearby restaurants.  Then he reminds me that we're driving through MY neighborhood...where I've eaten out a bazillion times and clearly don't need to use any fancy technological application.  But that's totally not the point, the point is that I CAN use it.

I also like to use the GPS application and watch the little blue dot get closer to the little red dot as I approach my location.  Probably not the best thing to do while driving, but its very entertaining all the same.

While the iphone has definately made my life easier and more productive in some regards, productivity has dropped in other forms of life..like a scale if you will.  Definately more productive in terms of keeping up with emails, linkedin, and the news.  However, when I discovered espn.com's awesome interface for live updates of hockey games, I started to pay less attention in class when there's a game on....and the facebook addiction of mine deserves its own post.

Finally, my biggest vice: I have the highest score of all my friends in the Bubblewrap game.  HIGHEST SCORE!!!

Life pre-iphone was so not as cool!
