Death to hashtags.

Felt like crap today, went to dance practice anyways. I talked about it to one girl and she said I have the flu.

...Excuse me? Sorry Ms. Web MD, like hell am I gonna get the flu.

I don't think I've ever really had the flu before. And I sure as shitburgers ain't gonna start right now. But of course now this makes me think I should've gotten the flu shot back in October or whatnot. Oopsies.



You know what I don't understand? Why the heck do people use hashtags outside of twitter? Or even in twitter, people use hashtags for the most un-hashtag worthy of things. And yes, my talking about twitter most likely means I have one. I think I started around...what. End of last spring? And I have something like 10 original tweets since then. I just don't find the need to tweet about my current mood or the awesome cereal I had for breakfast or oh noes, whining about a test/assignment/project. But I can definitely see the appeal in it for some people, of having all of your friends and even people who aren't your friends "follow" you, as if you have something worth saying. It feeds the narcissist in all of us I suppose. Anyways, hashtags: KEEP THEM IN TWITTER PEOPLE. It makes absolutely no sense at all if you make a facebook update along the lines of "Finally starting this paper #procrastination #Englishmajorwoes." I mean, why not just weave those last two bits into the actual phrase? I just, I don't, it's, I mean, UGH. Twitter is basically facebook statuses on crack. Is it even called a status anymore? Who knows, it gets changed around so much these days, so whatever.



Also Thanksgiving came and went, obviously. What am I thankful for.
I'm thankful that I'm in a better place now than where I was a year ago.
For family, broken as we can be sometimes.
For dance, sparking a new passion within me I never knew I had.
For new friends and just meeting more people in general, allowing me to adapt my person and adjust how I interact socially.
For finally feeling secure in what my path is going to be.


Still, it's rather intimidating that I'll be graduating at the end of next spring #notreadytofacetherealworld #whoaslowdowntime.

Ok just kidding about that. But you get my point now, right?
