Quitting The Internet

Every single day I read something that makes me want to quit the Internet.

I was lucky to grow up in a time that was Internetless. My childhood was spent outside. My school days were full and then I went home and didn't have to worry about being bullied through a computer screen. I didn't have to worry about getting a #sponsoredpost in my paper diary. I connected with my friends at their houses, not over texts.

Don't get my wrong, I love the Internet, but sometimes it's just out there and in my face. Everything is so accessible and I realize that I too am a part of it. With this blog, my voice is extremely edited. The things that I've seen others write? Not so much. At least once a day I find myself side-eying something someone wrote.

Even though I fantasize about quitting the Internet, I know I'll never quit it.  I'll always be around in some form or another.  I love a good #trainwreckinprogress even if I'm on this one.

Also, if being on the Internet is a mistake, I can totally file it under 'not learning from my mistakes'. Also, if I keep adding to that file, it is going to be the biggest file I've ever seen in my life. I should make an entire series on the mistakes I haven't learned from. It would probably be an entire blog, actually.

I Hate Salads

Confession time:

98% of the time, I hate salads. I rarely meet a salad that I like. It's all lettuce for days for me and I just can't, but do you think that stops me from buying a salad for lunch? No way. Every time I see a salad, I think I'm going to like it and I just don't.

We could also file this under 'Not learning from my mistakes', but that file is overflowing right now.

PS: Sorry this post is so late. I wasn't even going to post at all and then I remembered how much I hate salads and how much I want the internet to know.

Netflixing

You guys, my tv still isn't back on. I'm totes dying over here. It's too late to catch up with any of the new fall shows now! Hopefully, I should have the tv issue resolved today, but for the last four weeks, Netflix has been my buddy. Here are a few shows I've been streaming:

The Blacklist:  I watched the first season on Netflix while the second season was on tv, so I was really excited when the second season came to Netflix. It has everything I love in a show:  Crime fighting, mystery and secrets.

Longmire:  After having this in my recommendations forever, I finally decided to watch it and it's so awesome.  It's about the fictional Sheriff Longmire and his struggles to take back his town.

iZombie:  My mom was raving over this show when it first came out on tv, so when it came on Netflix, I wanted to try it out.  One episode later and I was hooked!  The story follows Liv Moore, a medical resident turned into a functional zombie.

What shows are you watching?  How is tv?!

I just thought it was kind of cool that I was just talking about the 'Like' button, and these reactions pop up!

A Secret

I have very few secrets, but the secrets I do have are huge.  Since it's Fall, it's the perfect time to tell you this secret:

I hate pumpkin spice.

The only pumpkin things I can deal with are pumpkin pies and pumpkin rolls.  Everything else I am done with.  I just don't like the flavor.  I don't even like the smell.  I think pumpkins are pretty to look at, but that's kind of the end of it for me.  

If confronted about this, I probably would lie all the way.  After all, it's the only #basic thing to do, right?

PS:  If all goes well, in a couple weeks I'll be able to share an even bigger secret I've been keeping, so stay tuned for that.
