i’m going to keep it short and sweet.

i’m in the office alone. the music is on. the beat takes over my body and i start to dance towards the printer (i’m not sure at what point attempting to moon walk felt like a good idea) - only to turn around and find the window cleaner staring in, trying to hold himself up on the ladder whilst practically wetting himself with laughter. why do i do these things? why lord why?

now that’s off of my chest, back to work.

so i know that i was meant to check in the next day to display my glorious shiny (well not quite i know) tattoo, but if the truth be known, i was a little shame-faced. the story kind of goes like this…

1. i walk into tattoo parlour

2. dark haired , stern faced goth woman looks me up and down

3. dark haired, stern faced goth woman turns to man sat at the back of room and raises eyebrow

4. i feel a little embarrassed that dark haired, stern faced goth woman thinks it’s just a novelty for me and i’m not “keeping it real”

5. room begins to get a little fuzzy

6. i wake up in a pile on the floor to find dark haired, stern faced goth woman looking over me in an unamused fashion

7. i apologise and explain that i would like a tattoo

8. dark haired, stern faced goth woman refuses to go anywhere near someone that is so prone to fainting for “health and safety reasons”

9. i leave shame faced whilst dark haired, stern faced goth woman couldn’t possibly look any more smug

this only goes to prove that my halo must shine brighter than i previously believed it to do. now i’m going to have to find somewhere else to get it done.

so my friend and i were discussing all of the unknown rules attached to facebook - who would have thought it could be so complicated!

the first thing that came up was poking which is an unknown to lots of people i know. i think it’s kind of a flirty way of saying hi to someone although my friend thought it was only supposed to be used when you see someone you think you recognise them. therefore you poke them and if they’re the right person they befriend you - which would make sense, but i prefer my theory.

then there’s that all important relationship status. it rings out like an alarm, the first thing i notice on the news feed is whether someone is now registered as single, married etc and that way you know whether to congratulate or console. the difficulty comes when someone updates their status without telling their partner first - also known as virtual dumping, aw! then there’s the whole other level of new relationships - at what point do you change your status? what if you don’t both have the same status? it’s a minefield i tell you!

the last thing that needs careful consideration is wall posts - they’re not invisible, so remember not to write anything you don’t mind the world seeing. if you’ve got something private to write ( ) then put it in an email…

so all in all, i’m not going to poke anyone, i’m going to remove my relationship status and avoid wall posts at all costs… that should prevent any problems from occurring
lecture over, happy facebooking!
