Fail

So.. My family is on Spring break and yesterday marked the begining of my Easter bread. They came down last night to Myrtle Beach and I had to work but drove to get here this afternoon. I was hoping that some or any of my friends would be able to join me otherwise I would spend the entire vacation with my family. Which would be okay in normal families but my brothers are much younger than me and the only one close to my age has been through major surgury and I can't believe he is out of his hospital bed and swimming in a pool today. He was supposed to be bedridden for six months and he just had the surgury in February. I mean, I'm glad he is healing well and very quickly but at the same time it'd be a really big deal if something ever so slightly did go wrong.
Anyway, I drove down here to spend time with the family and all they have seem to manage is drive each other crazy and make me so frustrated I wish I had a hotel room to myself! And it doesn't help that there are all these hot college guys on break as well just everywhere at the beach or amongst the six hot tubs, two full size pools, two lazy rivers and lounging around. Man oh man. I don't have any of my girlfriends with me because they either went home for break, have family visiting, work, or homework desperatly needing attention. Of course. I finally have a whole like four days off of work and all of a sudden now I'm the one available and everyone else is busy. Back to my point about the guys.. Theres tons of opportunities to flirt and have a good time lounging or chatting in a hot tub but without a girl companion it kindof is odd for a girl to go doing these things by herself. Very odd. And an even odder thing is trying to have your younger brothers as your hang-around companion. Kill me now. Such a frustrating situation.
And for the last few hours, instead of walking the strip and having a good time in the nightlife of Ocean Blvd. I'm stuck in the hotel room watching cartoon network and..in a hotel room for goodness sake.
I can't wait to be back home in good ol Wilmington!
Why are all my out-of-town vacations always such an epic faliure?

Papers..

So I am horrible at writing papers and the like. I do really well with narratives and freewrites because I can just write what I feel and how I percieve the world around me. Our next assignment is an argumentative paper and in order to do my best I've decided to write on the issue of myspace and facebook and internet profiling and all that jazz. This is a subject I feel I have the most emotion, care, decisive standpoint on.
I love being able to go online and make jokes and chat with people when it's inconvenient to be in actual conversation. I greatly prefer to speak with people directly but I can't always be where my other friends are and with as many friends that I have its sad not to be able to stay connected with them. In these ways and others online social networking can be a major benefit to those individuals with a busy schedule and getting in touch with friends.
Other times though online social networking has become so popular that some people are what we call "addicted" to checking facebook status' and posts that the whole idea of it becomes ridiculus.
There has to be undertanding and a knowledge of how much facebook and myspace is enough. When people let it get to extreme points and even stalkerish, it becomes too much. From my point, none of that makes sense because people should have enough sense to moderate and be intelligent with the technology we have been accustomed to. I am not excited about writing another paper in all honesty but at least I think I can do well and get into this topic and argument.
