K fuck this I just need to do my own post and stop getting distracted! I was supposed (as always) to get to bed early tonight...
but NOOOooo.... I had to go looking through the journals of everyone (aka 1.5 pages of the 12 that I have) that I've bookmarked and commenting on their journals... I really like doing and it is very interesting 'cause I don't really remember why I bookmarked them if the first place. Usually it was a witty comment or a cute/hot photo I imagine (occasionally they might have been friends with someone I thought was interesting) but mostly I think I use it as a "you're interesting but I don't know enough about you to feel comfortable asking for "friendship"
(yeah I still have issues with these social network things... despite being an old hand in online communities (anyone else remember 2400 baud modems?) anyway back on track..)
I've been bookmarking people randomly for the ... well however long I've been on here... far longer than I've been keeping a journal for sure... but I only figured out how to see the people that I've bookmarked last week (goto your HOME in the upper right of any page and select to see ALL of you friends journals... (I've never had enough friends on here to feel the need to hit that button)
anyway so theres a lot of them now and they're all (or at least the 1.5 pages that I read) pretty interesting! which is good!
anyway on to the point of my post...
BIG day tomorrow... at noon I get sworn in as a Citizen of the USA.... fukin strange if you ask me
so I'll no longer be a Canadian Kiwi living in the US, I'll be an American Canuck Kiwi (or something)
It's funny I never had any desire to be a US citizen, generally I always disliked the collective face the US showed the world. Now don't get me wrong I've always known Americans who are/were good people but the whole package together was always a bit of a problem for me.... Now that I've lived here for 4 or 5 years or whatever it's been, I'm pretty excited actually... and I don't know why. I still probably wouldn't do it if they were going to make me give up my other ones but since they're not I think it's pretty damn cool actually.
So now it's bed time! (soon)
