I'm not a social media kind of person. I only have Facebook because I am afraid of losing touch with out of state friends, but I haven't been on there since November.
I've made more posts here in the past year than I have in a decade on Facebook. Something about forums is more appealing to me.

I suffer from extreme foot-in-mouth syndrome at times, so I'm really not fond of a lot of chats and similar social media.

Plus, everything I have seen of them tells me they encourage too much of a "react before you think" pattern in people, resulting in way too many people being suckered by false news stories, scams, outright lies, and misinterpretations. This is what turned me off Facebook.

I personally don't care if someone investigates into my personal life. They're not going to find much. And if anyone wants to dig deep enough into some of my less-public interests, they learn the lesson of Moria.

Though, at the same time, I'm often surprised by what I end up introducing people to.

I enjoy chats, more people are using them compared to forums for sure.

Ever since the switch, activity here has been going downhill. I don't really recognize many people anymore either, shame.

Speaking of work, I just got a new job. Well, "job," since it's not a paying job. It's really just a padding-my-medical-school-applications job, but guys guys guys I get to do LABWORK. *SQUEE*

I could use a good job, but eh. Just comes with my area.

Though, after this long, people who really know me have learned I have a good reason for not having any empathy or sympathy about money woes. I don't live comfortably, but I live well enough.

I've got a job interview tomorrow. Should probably not bring up my strong support for labor unions.

(Remember, kiddos, always organize!)

Job interviews are pretty straightforward I feel. I love that I can showcase my personality and stuff.

until recently I never really watched YouTube videos I not really been interested in those funny videos everyone talks about but I discovered some great fish out of water videos about different cultures and what not that I find interesting probably because I never been abroad in my life however much I fantasize about it partly I think because I quarter Canadian and I have quite big interest in my heritage.

p.s. sorry I went slightly of subject

It makes me happy to walk around campus and know that I don't look or dress like all of these cookie-cutter, interchangeable generics around me. Damn straight, people remember who I am.

lolcat, I wish. Unfortunately, if you want to be a doctor kiss your social life goodbye and glue your face to your textbooks. I don't think I've left my house for anything other than class, work, or doctor's appointments in months (minus the trip to Tokyo ww).

I have two degrees. It's all about balance like life is.

Yeah, that's why I forced myself to take time off after last semester and actually do some travelling (hadnt done any travelling (besides going to LA to take an exam) since... I dunno, 2004?). Going again at the end of the year cause, like you said, balance~
