a list of randomness about social networking by me :)

1. I do not like getting group or applications on Facebook.  Please stop sending them my way..
2. I can not stand it when people notice that someone has "un-friended" them on facebook.  
.
3. I often wonder why people post their to-do lists or schedules on their facebook statuses?  Are they giving their "facebook friends" permission to stalk them for the rest of the day?
.
4. If you have a twitter and/or a facebook or myspace I would highly recommend getting Tweetdeck.  It allows you to follow twitter and other social networks at the same time.  
.
5. Blogger alert- if you like to write and either have multiple blogs or often post blogs to facebook or attach them to twitter, I would also highly recommend Posterous. Posterous allows you to email your blog to Posterous while simultaneously updating your twitter, facebook, and other blogs with your new entry.  I really enjoy having a blog at Posterous.
.
6. Somepeople update their facebook statuses way too often.  These people should just get a Twitter account and Tweet as often as they want in 140 characters or less.
.
7. I see my Twitter as a short online journal about my life.  I don't really care how many followers I have. I also do not have any of my Twitter accounts linked with my phone because I don't like being interrupted with a random text.
.
8. I like Twitter because I can change my background as often as I want.
.
9. Yes, I have crazy privacy settings on facebook.  I do block some people.  I also have various friend lists and really like this option in facebook- because I can control which group of "friends" views various portions of my profile.  
.
10. Facebook, Twitter, and blogs- the way of the future...I guess..

a piece of history in my life....my first march madness bracket!

today i am watching basketball - the opening games of march madness with my boyfriend because we are on spring break.  the other day, i did something for the the first time- I filled out a bracket for March Madness.  Needless to say, I probably have the most losing bracket ever, since I have no idea who is the better team...so I randomly picked teams to win.

a lesson from the sunset

while watching the sun set yesterday, I reflected on how faithful God is to me.  He never changes.  Days come and go but He is the only constant throughout life.  I was reminded of a song we often sing, called Faithful: 

You were before time
And You'll be when it ends
For You have no beginning
And no end
Your word will endure
Without change it is sure
On Your Promises
We will stand secure

Faithful
You are ever faithful
You are ever faithful
To us God

Your might you display
In the skies everyday
Everything You created
For Your praise
From the cross on the earth
To Your throne you return
Where You reign
Over all creation
Never changed
You are never shaken

Faithful - 
You are ever faithful
You are ever faithful
To us God
Powerful
You are crowned all-powerful
All the world will bow
Before you, Oh God

You're the song of my soul salvation
Life that cannot be taken
A solid rock, firm foundation
Never changed
You are never shaken

Isn't it great to know that we have a faithful Father?  He never leaves us or forgets about the problems we face.  He is closer than a brother.  He is more than a faithful friend to me. He is my faithful Savior.
