One Point for Materialism
// December 25th, 2008 // 17 Comments » // Fashion, Personal, Quotables
I logged into WP today and lo and behold, a new dashboard theme! Thank you Lene for kindly upgrading WP so diligently. Yes, it’s Christmas Break so that means I finally have time to blog (or not - the chocolates and wine are calling my name!) To the outside world my life is pretty mundane at the moment, i.e. no new obsessions, no materialistic acquisitions, no romances (boys just aren’t interested, alas). But I do love the daily nuances that pop up in my life. For example:
Mum: Hey what exactly does “XD” mean?
Me: It’s face mother. You have to look at it sideways.
Mum: I don’t get it.
Me: Come here *types out XD*, see? The D is the mouth and the X are the eyes like this: ><
Mum: That’s stupid. I still don’t get it. What does LOL mean?
Me: *headdesk*
Mind you this was right after a Facebook conversation I had with my dad.
Dad: Why can’t I see the snowman photo I just took of you Crystal? On Facebook?
Me: Oh I don’t know, you’re on my limited profile?!
Dad: WHY? WHY DID YOU BLOCK ME? MY OWN DAUGHTER. WHY?!
Me: Uh…kidding *shifty eyes* … maybe you’re not logged in probably… *quickly changes privacy setting for one album* … refresh it now…
Dad: OH OKAY I see it!
They tried to get me to teach my grandma how to use the internet. I passed. I can’t decide whether or not my parents are “at-least-better-than-most-parents-who-fail-at-computer” or just complete lunatics from whom I inherited my DNA. I still proudly announce to all my friends that not one but BOTH of my parents have Facebook lol. Watch out everyone. In a few years I’ll be trying to convince my grandkids to let me reprogram their hovercrafts.
In other news, I finally got down to decorate one of the bare walls in my bedroom. Why should I miss out the whole decorate your dorm wall thing even if I live at home?! Behold, les photos.
BEFORE. Oh dreary white walls!

AFTER.

DETAILS. May I direct your attention to DANIEL RADCLIFFE IN EQUUS, and in the right corner CHUCK + BLAIR = LOVE.
