The cat is out of the bag.

Unfortunately, now people have found my blog (largely due to me posting its existance on Facebook) I actually have to write interesting blogs for a real audience. Oh dear indeed.

So, swine flu is back. 'Back'. Hoping it doesn't sweep the nation and infect us all like last time. Oh wait...

Social networking sites are interesting aren't they. I lived through signing up to pretty much everything going, the only reason I know they still exist because weird sites such as Hi5 and Birthday Alarm email an old email address with a long-lost friend's birthday. Myspace was my favourite, although Bebo was popular for a while! I must have spent about a year changing my profile every other day, doing 'pc4pc's (picture comment for picture comment for all of you unfamiliar with the stupid abbreviations) and ultimately wasting my time. Yet arriving at my new 6 form I discovered Facebook was the place to be, and set up a Facebook account. Slowly the transition was made from Myspace to Facebook, and I stopped visting my previously prized page. Now all Myspace is good for is to look back at old comments and laugh at sentences such as 'Yeh had a gd day 2day, wnt 2 twn nd chilled out. Bre tired tho, nd btw yur pic is fit bbz ;)' or something along those terrible lines. Today I look at my news feed on Facebook and see people with boring statuses 'Im bored.', aggressive statuses 'The fucking prick who stole my phone and ID...' and interesting statuses 'I didn't mean to, I'm so sorry, I was drunk'. The latter usually leads me to Facebook stalking them to see what possibly could have happened and looking at the comments on that status to see if something is revealed of interest to me. It is incredible that I know things about people I was at lower school with from just a click of a button (and a 10 minute trawl of their pictures and wall posts).

And here I am on Facebook now. And although I haven't signed up to Twitter yet, and don't see myself doing it, it could just be something else I sign up to!

Although I'm sure this wasn't the most interesting blog you have ever read, it is one of those I can relate to that! things you read.

Literally on the news I have just heard about a young pregnant women who died from swine flu. Maybe it is back.
