1/7 of the deadly sins

I've been felling the green eyed monster lately for some reason. Here's are the top two types of people I am currently jealous of. [That was quite a few qualifiers, huh?]

1. I am jealous of people who can keep journals. I've tried before. I have tried oh so hard to diligently record everything that happened during my day. Here's the thing though, I would have trouble finding things I would want to record. I felt like most things that I said and did were of no consequence, this resulted in many journal entries that read something like this: "Oh hey, it's me again. Nothing much has really happened." Conversely, if something big did happen, I was afraid someone would read my journal and call me a drama queen. Or if I had a crush on someone I was also terrified someone would read about that and think I was weird for writing about this boy who didn't know I existed. I also may have developed this fear because I once read my sister's diary that was all about a boy she liked.

2. I am jealous of people who have confidence. How cool would it be to walk up to someone and say "Hi, I'm Molly." with a smile and no hint of nervousness in my voice. It would be AWESOME! Wait, hold up right? I can hear your thoughts being beamed to me as you read this: "Molly (or Sunny as some know me), you are NOT a shy person." Anyone who was in marching band with me is certainly thinking this. WRONG! I'm totally shy, most of the time I can fake it though. I almost never introduce myself first. It's a problem, and I'm sure it can lead to having a bubble of friends and not meeting new people, which is a shame because I bet there are some really cool people out there who I have not met yet. Let's fix this, yeah? Yeah.

So... I'm locked out.

I didn't go to Military Science lab because of my knee, who knew that high crawling and 3-5 second rushes are hard to perform with a knee injury? Anyways, here I sit on the concrete in front of my door. Like a creep. Did I mention it's getting dark? Earlier I had better was in the park talking on the phone, but eventually my family and friends things to do than entertain me while I contemplate how silly it was for me to leave the house without making sure that I hadn't removed my keys from my backpack yesterday. When did that happen? I don't remember using them yesterday... Lets see, I left the house at 7:45 am and returned after speaking with my dad on the phone at 8:45ish... Nope, I didn't use them because both of the roomies were home and the door was unlocked. Maybe I didn't put them back in my bag after using them on Monday? No wait I didn't use them on Monday either... Aha! I used them this morning when I grabbed my water bottle out of my car for PT! Whew, I feel way better now that I know why they were out of my bag. Unfortunately my brain was too hopped up on exercise endorphins  to remember that!

Facebook Stalking

Alright, I know what you're thinking. "Molly that's creepy." Don't give me that most of you facebook stalk too. Anyways I prefer the term Investigate. That's what I'm doing, I'm investigating someone to satisfy my curiosity. We can even call it research. Yeah, research. I can imagine myself telling my best friend that I researched someone new I met. Actually those words have probably escaped my mouth. The following are things to consider while facebook stalking:
 1. Where are you? Don't facebook stalk in a public place, unless you want people to judge you. If you must facebook stalk in public (like if you didn't have internet in your apartment for a month...) make sure your back is against a wall and there's no one in the immediate vicinity. This serves two purposes 1. You are less likely to be caught in the act of stalking someone and 2. no one can sneak up on you and scare you because you are too busy focusing intently on your computer screen.
2. Are you facebook friends with the person you are stalking? If you are, this is entirely more acceptable than say finding someone on facebook who you have once met briefly.
3. Now, if you are stalking someone you don't really know, do you know their last name? It can be hard to find someone without a last name. This is where mutual friends come in handy. Looking through a friend's list of friends is a quick way to find the person you're trying to stalk.

And that my friends is how you facebook stalk.
