MySpace vs. Facebook

So I've been a MySpace addict from way back. I started using it a couple of years ago as a way to procrastinate from studying during end of year exams. Having been a user for such a long time, and pimped and prettied my page in times of boredom to 'reflect who I am', I find it sad that it seems to have been dropped of late for something newer. And by that I mean Facebook.

Now I have to admit I'm being quite hypocritical. I also have a Facebook account, which is regularly monitored. Despite originally declaring it boring, 'not pretty enough' and kinda pointless, it has actually grown on me. In fact, when I see people's profiles with lots of added applications, I think to myself, 'that's kind of lame, this isn't MySpace'. Yet despite my growing addiction to Facebook, I still find it a shame that so many people have ditched their MySpace accounts. I miss logging on and seeing


Now I'm more commonly faced with a blank space. Very sad.
So I make a request that all my fellow social-networking-site-sluts don't abandon their MySpace in search of greener pastures. Give them both a go. Recognise their individual attributes. There's no need to choose.

Man I'm full of crap :)

kiss hug

bliss.

i ♥ driving around in the sun

added bonus when there are shopping bags at my feet :)

teamwork shmeamwork

group work is the bain of my existence.

have you ever been stuck with people for a school or uni assignment that seem to be completely and utterly retarded? like they have no idea what they're supposed to be doing? and then they ask you for guidance every step of the way as if you're the tutor or something?

GARRGH

i suppose i shouldn't complain, up until now i've been pretty lucky with who i've been put with. it's my final semester, and it had to happen some time. just looks like i'll be spending tomorrow afternoon rewriting the assignment. oh joy.

Memories Monday # 5

Nearly forgot my Memories Monday! Shock. Horror. This week's memory is from 2002, back when I was still at school.

In year 10 I headed over to France as part of an exchange program. We spent 2 weeks living with a French student, then 3 days in Paris at the end of the trip with the other Australians from our school, and the (small) group from the boys' school that had come over with us. In this pic we had just arrived at our hotel in Paris. I was lucky enough to have travelled over the other side of the world with 4 of my best friends- 3 of whom are pictured here (don't know where you were Pruey, but you did get a whole post devoted to you, so I don't feel so bad).
When we went up to our rooms in the hotel (in the red light district might I add) we were quick - and very happy- to discover that directly opposite us were a bunch of very cute Swiss-German boys, also on a school trip. Being typical over-excited, hot-blooded teenage girls, we then proceeded to spend most of our time while in the hotel rooms hanging out the windows talking and attempting to flirt with the guys. On the last night some of my friends were even so risque as to sneak off into the boys' rooms, while Pruey and I smuggled one of the hotter ones into ours. We fed him Vegemite, and felt extremely naughty, especially when our teacher came around looking for the other girls, and we had Stefan hiding in our bathroom...ohh good times.

I find this strangely amusing...thoughts?

blah.

uni is overrated.

today i had a lecture, followed by two 2-hour tutes.
the lecture was utterly pointless, listening to an RMIT graduate talk about her role with the Midsumma Festival.
the first tute was just for group work for an assignment, and 3 of the 5 members of our group were away, so i went to the computer labs. so much homework to do, but of course it was all at home.
the second tute was horrible. the tutor is so irritating, the people in my class are irritating (other than like 5 of them) and the exercises are boring.

overall a craptastic day at uni.

on a lighter note, check out my girl han's new blog. snaps for han starting a blog!
