I Caved.

As some of you may already know, I caved, and am now a member of Facebook. URG. It's almost as shameful as if I caved and read Twilight, but I'm not that desparate yet. NO! I won't read it! You can't make me! So I'm trying to figure out what the heck this whole facebook thing is about. Apparently it allows you to connect with all sorts of people--without really telling them anything about yourself. I mean, it's not like a blog where you can really update what you are doing. So if someone I haven't seen for a long time runs across my name in facebook, what will they know about me? If they look really close they might know I'm married and what my job is, but that's about it. They WILL know that my super power is cytokenisis (or something like that. Apparently I can freeze objects) and from my flare they might figure out I'm pregnant. And maybe they'll take a movie compatibility quiz and we can both die knowing we're "casual buddies" or whatever. Is this just a website designed to kill time? I just don't really get it. As far as I can see, the idea is to get as many friends as possible. Even if you don't know them at all. I've already had a few friendship requests from people that I have NO IDEA who they are. They're more interested in getting their numbers up than a couple of missionaries in the field. Seriously. Anyway, just thought I'd put in my two cents.
I don't know why I bother. NO ONE READS MY BLOG. I'm feeling very upset that I have so few comments and none on my last entry. Come on people! Step it up! You think I'm doing this for my health? What the crap! I LIVE for comments. It makes me feel loved and connected. So start commenting already. And if I sound raunchy, remember I'm pregnant!
Speaking of which, here's an update.


It kinda sucks.


Up till this point I haven't really gotten sick. And then this week I started getting sick every day. Do I throw up? Oh no! I'm cursed with the Nielson Stomach of Steel, or NSS as it's called in modern medical journals. I figure if I throw up I'll feel better, but I guess I'll never know. I'm not super sick--I'm really just whiny because I don't really get sick anyway. But it's just annoying. Nothing sounds good to me and I have to force myself to eat. But on the other hand, it's not so bad being sick when you're pregnant because at least there's a REASON for it. And then there's the knowledge that it's only going to get worse. I can't wait for my first doctor's appointment on August 12 when I will be able to hear the baby's heartbeat and feel like there really is a baby in there. It's kinds a surreal right now. Gosh I'm whiny right now. Maybe because it's after midnight and I can't sleep and I haven't slept a full night through in over a week. URG. Anyway, I hope my whinefest has been interesting to the two people out there who have read it. To you two people--bless you. You're going to heaven now!

I don't sleep well either. It's really depressing me because I know as I get bigger it will only get worse. :( Boo woo. Now I am whining too. I have that stomach of steel too...I don't throw up but I feel like I want too. Now that I am in the second trimester, I just feel gaggy all the time. It's a little better than having the tummy nausea. Anyway, it does suck being pregnant but as I am sure you have heard before..."it's all worth it and you'll forget how bad it was"

Leslie said...

Yes! Lisa and I are going to heaven. Ha, ha, suckers!

uhm... well o.k. here is your comment but I fully expect a comment from YOU on my blog! Sorry you don't feel good, to this day I cannot CANNOT stand the smell of sausage and I can thank pregnancy for that.

I think this is my third time visiting your blog...but I am so excited because I forced myself to finish reading Twilight, and I am the only person who really didn't like it enough to read the other books in the series! I am really excited to run into an anti-twilight person! In my opinion, you are not missing anything except a story about a very helpless girl who can't do anything for herself and a creepy stalker who turns out to be a "cold lip"kissing vampire. I know everyone hates me now for saying so.....

Megan said...

Kel, nothing, NOTHING can EVER turn me against sausage! Nothing!

Megan said...

Oh and Rachel--you and I are not alone. I know many anti-Twilighters out there. Its becauwe of what you said that I don't want to read it. I was SO MEAN to all those anti-harry potterites, and I'm STILl mean to them, but now i understand their persecution...

Jen Curtis said...

Wait, you don't like Harry Potter either??? :) I did read Twilight but I HATED the "heroine" through the whole thing. I wanted to slap her on every page. :) And I completely agree with you about facebook. It's all about how many friends you can get. No real connections. It's like getting your yearbook signed at the end of the school year. You want as many people to sign it as you can get, even if that's the only time you talk to them. That said, I was still happy to be friends with you. LOL!!!

Wow Meg, I'm the seventh comment! That's more than I have had on my blog. I hope you feel loved. Most of my friends think they are cheesy and don't like other people reading what they write. I think it's entertaining. Like your whinefest. Very entertaining.

Sorry that you are sick. Try the orange unisom and vitamin B or just call your doctor. They'll call something in. When I was sick with Paige, I called the doctor. My luck, they called me back right as I got to work. She said she'd call in a prescription. I said "Great, I'll take it" as I hid in the bathroom at the pharmacy. I put it in my pocket and waited until my boss went on break. Then I filled it and quickly paid for it so no one would know. The phenergan took care of the nausea.

Megan said...

Jen--I DO like harry Potter, i got so annoyed at people who refused to read it. And now I'm that person who refuses to read Twilight! And Nicki--sure would be nice if i could fill my own perscription! Well, I feel bad beacuse I'm not THAT sick, I'm like a wimp if i call for something, you know? Well--I say that now because i feel fine at the moment. Maybe in a few minutes when I feel yucky i won't feel so bad calling my doctor...
