Planet Crazy

Once upon a time a meat-eating, conservative military mutant married a vegetarian, transmuting, peacenik dissident. This collision of reiatsu created a planet that changed the universe forever. Kinda.

Why I Suck at Social Media

I'm a yappy person. I love chatting and have so many interests I'm bound to connect with anyone about anything. I seem like I'm cut out for social media. I love chatting with my friends, meddling in their apps and the quick responses. Of course, we're talking about me, so I really love the add-ons and fiddling with things to make my little corner reflect my personality.

The one problem I didn't expect to have with social media is that...well...real life often takes over my world and they get ignored. Sometimes for a day or two, sometimes for a week. Sometimes longer. Because, I'm busy, you see? I'm out there living and having fun. I'm learning and having bad days, I'm baking bread and playing Scrabble with my kids. I'm having PMS or making a cup of tea. And all of that is much more important than logging in and checking up on my cyberplace.

So I guess you could mark it #epicfail for me and social media. But really, I'm glad because it means I'm cherishing the people and things that matter the most. Not talking about it and living vicariously through others.

I hope you cherish those who are near to you!
