Blog Stalkers Annonymous

Good old technology has allowed us to pour our lives onto the great and glorious world wide web!

Facebook, Blogging, Twitter, Buzz, you name it--we do it!

And deny it all you want but we're ALL guilty of either blog stalking or facebook stalking. It's funny how it happens, on facebook, you look at a picture that a friend of yours is tagged in...pretty soon you're going thru the whole album and then you look at another album of there's and pretty soon your clicking on people in the picture and so on and so on....pretty soon your are looking at pictures of someone 5 states away & you don't have the slightest idea how you got there! Same goes for blogging, somehow you run across a blog and the person doesn't know you but you read their blog and feel like you do KNOW them. The best is when you finally meet one of these people, say a friend of a friend, and in the back of your mind, your like I do know who you are, but only because we have 80 facebook friends in common and your in all the pictures...we've never actually met!

Today I had a funny conversation about blog stalking with Chelsey --how we've seen someone in the grocery store & they don't know us, but we follow their blog. How funny it is, how we stumble upon blogs and then even though we don't know the person we read them cuz they're cute or they are great writers, or whatever the reason be. Then we wondered people do the same thing to us (blog stalk). I don't find my life very exciting or STALK worthy, but hey you never know!!!

And then there is the debate, if your going to someone should you leave a comment, or "follow" them so they're at least aware you're doing, making it a little less creepy. Or would they find you doing that more creepy/weird? I'll admit, I've got many blogs I read that have no idea I read them, some that I decided to "follow" even though they don't know me.

So here is our question...what do you do? and have you any funny stories of run-ins with people you stalk on social networking site or on blogs? and thirdly, if your going to stalk a blog are you brave enough to add a comment? ...p.s. if you do happen to stumble upon my blog & stalk it, now would be a perfect time to admit it! And I promise I won't think your weird or a Chester (unless you really are in fact a Chester), heck chances are I'll be flattered people actually read this!

THRILLER

So Thanks to the Wonderful World of Facebook I had a rather surprising thing happen last week. My drill team coach from high school contacted me and other girls who have graduated since she has been coach wanting us to come back and dance with this years team at the last football game! I loved drill, and even though I don't really miss 6am practices or all the drama involved, I wouldn't trade those 3 years for anything, and I also couldn't pass up this opportunity. Especially since Natalie is now on the team and we've never EVER danced together. We're 5 years difference in age, so this was fun news!
I'll admit, I wasn't very good. My mom videotaped and I'm rather scared to watch it.
Me and the rest of the drill alumni learned the dance on Saturday, but spent a good portion of that time just making fun of ourselves and reminiscing so needless to say, most of us didn't learn it very well but we had fun which was the important part.
Just thought I'd post some pictures!

Me and the Sis just gettin our freak on!

Happy Birthday to Me!

So Sunday was my birthday and usually hate having my birthday on a Sunday, because it limits what I can do, but this year I was stoked. am SO busy with school and work that it was nice having it on a day where I didn't have anywhere to be other than church.

It was a great day. I went with Tyler to hear his mom speak in their family ward and then off to his single adult ward to hear his little sister, Kristin speak. Immediately following that Ty came back with me to my house for dinner. We of course, had one of my favorites, Steak. It was yummy. We just hung out for the rest of the day and relaxed. I got some great gifts from Ty and also from my family and friends. My friends who were all single and out playing on Valentines evening dedicated a photo album to me on FACEBOOK and also dropped some very STRANGE gifts off to me at 1 am on my birthday. A Mary (as in Jesus' mother) doll that talks. She tells the entire Christmas story I think and its pretty funny, the also got me a Hannah Montana t-shirt which is probably the best gift I've ever received haha... and some other very random presents. Tyler owns about 35+ watches (as of lately I think he's bought a new one almost everyday) and so surprise surprise....he finally bought me one. Its Pink! My favorite and it is super cute and along with it, a Volcom shirt...in his words...I need more boyish clothes.

I appreciated spending it with my family and Ty. I also loved that Monday was a holiday and my amazing manager aka my aunt gave me the day off to continue to celebrate my birthday. I went shopping with my mom in the morning, then to lunch with my parents at Jason's Deli, one of my favs, and then we went and bought me a new bed and tv! I'm pretty spoiled I think!!! And to top the day off we ended it with dinner at Los Hermanos with myparents, grandparents, and Ty! I am one lucky girl. Thanks everyone for making turning 20 so great!
