all quiet on the FB front

I recently took an involunatry 3 week hiatus from my computer. I am quite sure that the black screen of death was the ultimate nail in the coffin of that relationship, but I prefer to remember that it was a mutual decision to not see each other anymore. The first few days were absolute torture - I would stare at the blank screen and beg to come back to life and then over the next few days, mourning turned to bitterness (stupid computer, I never really liked you anyway), to sadness again and then, finally, acceptance that my poor little HP desktop was no more. We replaced her and I was certain that there would be some crazy search party looking for me and wondering , "where, oh, where could Sarah be?", but alas, nothing. Lots of sales updates from my good pals at the Gap and Banana and my true love Johnnie Boden, but very few concerned messages from friends. Frantically, I checked the internet connection and Facebook and much to my disappointed surprise, life was still going. Slowly, shyly, I reemerged onto the scene like a 7th grader crosses the dance floor (painfully and pathetically and so uncertain as to what lies in the crowd of boys on the other side of the gym). It was like tuning into a favorite soap that I haven't watched in 8 years and finding that the same people were doing the same things to each other's cousin's uncle's brother-in-laws as they were before I was gone. It was like being home. Few things were different, someone I knew from grade school might or might not be a porn star, but most things were the same - kids were going to and coming home from summer camps and people were posting new pictures of their pets and days at the lake and it was good and I was welcomed back into the comforts of my friends (kind of like they didn't realize I was absent for a duration - weird). I am proud to say that I am actively back to facebook stalking (trying to confirm or deny this wicked porno rumor, and leaning more towards the confirming zone) and now with my new lease on internet life and all of the thoughts that I conjured up while I was deprived of my beautiful cyberworld, I am now writing my fun blog, which, by the way, is something that I have wanted to do for quite some time now, so hooray for me! (and all of you lucky readers!)
