Comfortable Disorientation

Facebook's for girls

So the word is out that women dominate on Facebook.  This has been my hunch all along, so it's good to discover the stats prove it. As far as I can gather the figures are based on number of users, I reckon if you were to look at activity the female bias would be even higher. 

The kind of seemingly pointless, touch-basing social interaction that Facebook excels at is just a more female thing.  In the same way that women in couples are more likely to write and send cards and organise the family photo albums (I'm not so sure this last still holds in the Flikr age, but it used to be true).

"The dog ate my homework" and other excuses

I have the guilts.  It's been weeks. I've mentally written posts, but not got them down and now the moment has gone.

You know things are bad when you have a master list of lists to keep tabs on all your different To Do lists.  There's been the house move, and then the push to get 'sorted' (by which I mean having functional curtains) before Christmas. Because after Christmas, I'm going to be really quite pregnant and that brings a whole load of other things to be getting on.  Important stuff, like taking it easy while I still can.

Actually, the biggest and by far the most frustrating problem has been lack of home internet - I can't believe that it takes 3 weeks to flip a switch.

In my absence, Northern Planner has been writing a series of posts on moderating groups.  They're well worth a read.  I really should have a think about doing more of this sort of thing myself. Perhaps next year...
