Today I turned 29! I had a great day. I had planned not to celebrate today, because my two other May birthday friends and I are celebrating together on Saturday. But my family kidnapped me from work and took me to the Mandarin for Chinese food! I got an iTunes Gift card from my sister, two nice shirts from my parents (including a Spider-Man one!), and a home-cooked meal-of-my-choice from my friend Robin, to be redeemed later!

I also got lots of kind Happy Birthday messages from my friends and acquaintances, on my Facebook wall. However, I was very displeased to find the following ad on my Facebook today. Apparently the Facebook advertising program noticed that I was not only 29, but also single! Imagine that! Unheard of! Hear that whimpering sound? That is the sound of the universe imploding because I am 29 and single.

At least I can be grateful that Facebook did not show me pictures of scantily-clad women, like some other high-traffic sites do.

29 and Single!

MySpace and Facebook are such hopping, energetic sites that I have trouble focusing on what I want to do there.  I much prefer Vox.  Vox.com is a vibrant community centred around blogging.  That really appeals to my inner writer.  :D  My policy with other community/networking sites is to continue using them on a limited basis.  I definitely want to stay in contact with all my cool friends using those sites, but I want to "get in and get out."  In this information-intensive world, I feel the need to focus my online time.  I choose Vox.
