All of My Facebook Status Updates, Ever

I was reading something I should not have been reading earlier tonight... specifically, my ex's blog. Something that happened on April Fools Day last year really pissed her off, so I wanted to see exactly what it was that I said. I found a facebook application that will export all of your status updates to an Excel file.

I read through them all, and along the way, I found some other wonderful tidbits. Since weening myself off the medications this past fall, I have not had any major emotional crashes on either facebook or in this blog. It was fun reading through the few experiences with my bird that I documented while he was still alive. On the flipside, it was strange seeing how many major allergic reactions I had noted on facebook--and I still haven't definitively determined what caused the breakouts (though I have been avoiding monterey jack cheese). Also, while a few of the movies/TV shows/songs that I quote were just because I liked them, most of them were because they specifically said something I wanted to have said myself.


Note that the time stamps are in Eastern Time, since that's where I am now, but most of the posts were actually made from California, which would be three hours earlier in the day than posted. I've also not edited any of these--even where the app couldn't handle the UTF-8 characters. Anyway, here they are--my facebook status updates:
