Dear Facebook,

Since the beginning I have never really liked you. You might think its a power of I was on Myspace first, I am playing favorites. This is not the case. Although I was on Myspace first and did seem to capture that site better than yours with the idea that is indeed was “my space” and i got to customize it to my liking… I did have a Facebook. I never used it. Friends would add me and I would say sure, why not. Then continue to NEVER use it. As I got older and Myspace got stupid and was turning into Facebook and the number of friends on Myspace began to be much smaller than Facebooks- I switched. 

  Even though now I don’t do myspace anymore… I STILL never use my facebook. I try. I really do, because people are still very much stupid and get all upset when you have one and never use it. I personally don’t get it. I think I would rather be out sitting on the hill of Gas Works people watching or sitting in a cafe somewhere. Even still I have no updated my facebook since I started it. 

Another thing… it was creepy when parents and adults had myspace, its a hassle when they have facebooks. I now and a “friend” to my own father. Who likes to take my posts, whether they are real or about nothing, and bring them up in converstations or comment on them. I do not like this. 

The only thing I really use Facebook for is to chat (maybe, hardly ever) or to snoop on people for other people. Oh and to see the random pictures people tag of my from 5-6 years ago. 

I understand what you are trying to do, I get it. But seriously I think you are stupid still. Thank you for helping me keep my family that tiny tiny tiny bit more connected, because lets be honest I have no clue about my family because no one talks to each other….. and helping me be discovered by the random family members- dad’s cousin’s aunt.

Sincerely,

Ashley Nelson

Its a Killers kind of morning

Oct 28, 2010
to everyone...

Sorry that I haven’t been there; not talking, not being seen, not… anything. I have a new job as most of you may know… I am a travel agent now. Its kind of a weird idea if you really sit down and think. 

I am veyr much happy with the job and really the idea of having a job. (especially right now) The only thing that is taking getting used to is having a FULL time job. I have had jobs before… one’s where you got three days off or your shift ended in the afternoon soo you still had the whole day ahead of you….This is not one of those jobs. 

Currently I am waking up at 5:30 so that I can make it to Bellevue on time for this whole week. I don’t EVER get home till 7:30ish and by that time I am starving and ready to sleep. I know that I will eventually get used to it… but so far its not happening. It doesn’t help that the two weekends that I have had this job have been hella busy too. No time to sleep in or really enjoy myself. 

It will be nice when I start my actual job in West Seattle, starting work at 8:30 and going to 5;30 with an hour paid lunch in between. 

Sometimes when i am driving home in traffic I find myself thinking about how weird it is I have a job that for some is their career at a young age of 21. While all my other friends or people my age are still hanging loose…. sometimes I think I am too young to be doing this already…. where did all my fun go?

BUT because of my crazy hours and still getting used to it all… I have been lacking in the friend department. Sorry. Right now there isnt much to do about it until i get settled. And the only really way to get a hold of my is my work email… since i can’t use my phone while driving or at work… leaving my that time when i get home to fall asleep and ignore that i have a computer or cellphone till the next day.

BUT i do have an hour lunch that you can join me at, or call my work line (yes i have my own line) or come in and talk to me about your AAA membership or a travel plan you have for  the future… I CAN HELP.

It is too late and I should be asleep. but thanks to people either being loud or disapointing me I am awake long enough to tell you this. 

DEAR FRIENDS, I HAVEN’T FORGOT ABOUT YOU. GIVE ME A SECOND TO CATCH UP.

Seriously.

I have heard all about this show “hoarders” never once have I watched it… until now. Seriously, I have known people living like this…. but to actually watch it is another thing. I makes me realize how OCD I am. 

I can literally be watching this show and start to freak out/throw up a little bit. Why watch it you may be asking? Because you CAN’T look away once it starts. 

I really feel for the people who are trying to help, having to actually clean up the mess….deal with the people in their angry state or their embarrassed emotional state. 

I really don’t do “dirty.” I can’t even watch it. I like to clean. I like things to be clean and organized…. this show. UGH.

Its nuts.

I was talking to someone about it this weekend and they were telling me how they watched an episode and called their mom saying they:

“want to go dumpster dive the stuff they were throwing out. uh oh does that makes me a hoarder?”

answer is practically. If it wasn’t the fact that they were throwing out really great furniture then that would make you a hoarder. I have too wanted to pick up great furniture from the side walk a couple times. Only if its nice and in great condition….

My friends were also telling me of episodes where there were dead cats under the mess that no one knew about, and a dead grandmother i think. can’t remember.

This episode I am watching they had a whole room (10 years worth) of human poop in bags because their water stopped working.

SOOOO GROOSSSSS

I am a Seattle employee once again. The real deal this time.

Oct 8, 2010
Once again...

Its back to Seattle. 

Oct 7, 2010

Looks like it all might come down to Seattle or Germany… Suggestions?
It would be nice to be back in Seattle, yet a few years in Germany would be cool to (especially if I don’t have to pay for rent or anything)

Thank Matt, ASQ, and especially you Caspar for your help and suggestions this far… Still have no idea.
