Facebook.

A friend once told me that you could basically piece together the past two weeks of a person's life based solely on his or her facebook account. Thanks to, among other things, the photo application, the status updates, and the great, and at times, infamous wall, it's almost impossible not to know what your closest, and not-so-close friends are doing at any given moment.

As much as I love keeping my friends up-to-date with my mundane life, it bugs me greatly that random people, not to mention my future employers, can have full-range access to everything that I ever posted on the facebook. That photo of me in a pink wig during one of our school parties? No one needs to see that.

So, I did what I should have done a long time ago. I went through my profile, and did some long-needed house cleaning. Not that there was much to sanitize. If you haven't noticed, I live a pretty boring life. I went through all of my photo albums, deleting photos that dated back to god knows when! I still managed to leave a few photos that I thought were either most sentimental or most meaningful or both.

Maybe I should set an expiration date for my photos. Post them up for a week and then take em all down. But then again. That'd require too much effort and thought on my part. Oh well. At least I feel like I've emptied out and sorted through a closet full of old clothes I never wear. ;p
