i couldn't help but notice the newly popular facebook note in which people announce '25 things' about themselves. in this note, you have to write "25 random things, facts, or goals about you" (goals about you lol) and tag 25 people in your note. in an effort to keep up with my peers, i posted 25 things about myself. this might have been the most difficult thing i did all weekend, not coming up with 25 things but thinking of who was an appropriate person to tag in such a note. i didn't want anyone to see a red notification flag only to be disappointed realizing it was just a link to a list of "random" things about sarah fadem. i know i felt strange being tagged by some people who i had occasionally made awkward eye contact with and rarely spoken to and while i appreciate the information, i do not feel completely comfortable reading about your unique taste in music or that you should be doing your homework. i do not completely understand why this has become such a popular thing, but i am sure people will continue to post them for the next week, only to look back at them a year later and delete. i'm looking forward to it.
