http://www.trashflower.com My personal soapbox Mon, 22 Feb 2010 05:31:05 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I've noticed a lot of people have been posting things they're thankful for on a regular basis - even now that it's half-way through February.  I'm assuming it was a New Years Resolution, and it's one that I, for one, hope they're able to keep up. And, as a way ... http://www.trashflower.com/2010/02/22/the-things-im-loving-this-week/ Why in the world would someone post about their gastro-intestinal issues on Facebook? Particularly how they're solving them (aka - exlax and juice). I understand that Facebook is all about sharing what's going on with your life, and making connections. But do we really want to connect over poo (or ... http://www.trashflower.com/2010/02/16/overshare/ Since last I updated, things have changed. Of course, we can all say that, since life changes minute to minute. I've overcome my little crisis through the power of self-delusion. We've all heard of it - "fake it 'till you make it." Well, I faked it long enough to make ... http://www.trashflower.com/2010/02/06/since-last-we-spoke-wrote/ Found an interesting message board, tied to the authors of the original Quarterlife Crisis book: http://www.quarterlifecrisis.com/forums/ Once I get my registration approved (hello, administrators!) I look forward to connecting with the other 20-somethings, and sharing what I have learned, and getting some camaraderie with others feeling the way I do. http://www.trashflower.com/2009/11/10/quarterlife-crisis-message-boards/ I've been thinking a lot lately (as may be evidenced by my lack of writing) about who I wanted to be when I grew up. As a child, I told people I wanted to be a corporate lawyer, a writer, a librarian, and President of the US. As I got ... http://www.trashflower.com/2009/11/10/becoming-who-ive-always-wanted-to-be/ http://www.trashflower.com/2009/08/13/i-think-this-comics-about-me/ Are you one of those people who doesn't want to set an idea or project free in the world until it's finished? And by finished, I mean polished and perfected to the point that if someone were to uncover a flaw, you would already have discovered it, analyzed it and ... http://www.trashflower.com/2009/07/20/unfinished-business/ Oprah's done a number of wonderful and fantastic things for women in America. I remember watching her show as a youngster, thinking "Wow, she's going somewhere!" And now, she IS somewhere, as an icon in the media world. She brought book groups and reading back to the countryside, as well ... http://www.trashflower.com/2009/06/11/what-bugs-me-about-oprahs-great-picks/ I've noticed a trend recently - facebook pages for fans of both silly and hilarious stuff.  Things like "not being eaten by a t-rex", "I hate my Cell Phone" (and "I love my cell phone" and "I lost my cell phone"). While I absolutely love seeing these updates on my ... http://www.trashflower.com/2009/06/05/facebook-fans/ It looks like the last time I updated my blog was something about waiting for your life to begin. Well, I wish I could say that I haven't updated in a while because I've been out living my life. The simpler truth is that I've not updated because I've been ... http://www.trashflower.com/2009/06/03/so-that-life-thing/
