Blog, Blog, Blog

I have so much to blog, the question is where to start? I think the real reason I decided to start this blog was that I need an outlet to vent. I was periodically venting on my facebook page which (as I found out) can be quite embarassing and dangerous. Not that I have anything against facebook. I'll be the first to admit to my addiction and hours upon hours of my time needlessly scouring pages of lost friends and loved ones(and ones I loved and didn't know that I existed).

I think that my panic really set in last night. I logged on to facebook and checked my newsfeed like I always do. A few weeks ago, I had found out that a teacher at my kids' school happened to be friends with one of my friends. Well that was the beginning of a terrible addiction for me. The teacher had left her privacy settings WIDE open. I could read her wall, see her birthday(which she happens to share with me), see the answers she got wrong on the family feud games, pictures of her kid etc and posts from friends (fellow teachers at our school). I was a little shocked that a "Teacher" would be so careless about so much personal information. My privacy settings are set up to the max with only my friends viewing things. I've even considered going through my friends individually and deciding as to whether they are "worthy" enough to see my status updates, photos, friends etc. This teacher for some reason intrigued me. I started following her posts and eventually noticed that she was commenting on things which happened at our school. She would joke that none of the students in her class were very bright and fellow teachers would complain about their students calling them smelly and lazy. This was a new addiction for me. I would check her page at least a couple of times a week.
I must admit that it did make me feel uncomfortable when I would see this teacher at school interacting with her students. It gave me insight as to what kind of a person she really is and how she really feels about the kids that she teaches. A few times I wished that I could tell her how I felt about her commenting on how she felt that the students at our school wouldn't become future leaders of our country. It bothered me to know that she dreaded meeting the parents on open house night. It really made me upset to know that 3 or 4 other teachers were joking online about personal happenings of the students for everyone to see.
I guess the right thing to do would've been to maybe approach her and mention that she must have by mistake left her privacy settings open. Maybe I should've approached the principal on the issue. Better than that, maybe I should've stopped looking weeks ago.
Last night I searched her name and like clockwork her page appeared and I read her daily happenings. I decided to check back a little later and when I did............it was gone. She finally set her privacy to max. Now I'm left to wonder, did she find me out? Is there some new facebook application which tells her who viewed her page and how many times. She might think that I'm a stalker(I'm not sure that I'm not).
When I logged on today, I discovered that I can see her page again. What happened? Is she testing me?
I can't take it anymore. I blocked her.

Welcome to my Galaxy

Hello out there in cyberspace! I've decided to create this blog to share with everyone the trials, tribulations and triumphs of my world. I hope that readers will get a sense of who "Grace" is, was, would like to be and maybe "Grace" will find a sense of who she is through her writings as well. I can't promise that the blog will be enlightening or even entertaining. I guess I'll let the readers take what they want from it as we travel through life together. Bon Voyage!
