#lifedump

Sometimes I feel bad for the people around me. 'Cause I feel like I sometimes make conversations awkward. Sometimes I don't really know how to talk to someone I don't really know overly well, but at the same time, I also feel like I talk to much around old friends. I don't like when I'm told "you can talk to me" because at this time I feel like I talk too much and you hate me. Sometimes I also feel like I talk too little when I'm upset, and when it gets to be too much, the only person I feel really believes me is my Mom. My Grandpa listens well, but he forgets things easily. And then there's this thing where right now I feel like I'm third-wheeling in a friendship (which the two aren't even dating), and sometimes like I have no friends. Then there's the times that I feel like I have no one because no one believes me, or they're too busy. I feel done with trying to have a love life, because one of my bfs called me mentally insane for reading the same book several times, one (rq I like k-pop, and my favorite bands/members are mostly boys and I like to talk about them a lot) broke up with me and started spreading rumors that I cheated on him with 10 different guys and that I was pregnant (I wasn't/am not I'm 14), and two of them broke up with me bc of distance. (I did end up getting back with one, but broke up with him bc I feel uncomfortable getting back with exes).

Sorry for the random life dump on you guys, and if anybody reads/likes this and can relate, or knows someone who can relate, thanks. Thanks for taking the time to read my random life dump, or for liking it without reading it, Idc. Just Thanks.

Angel’s everyday life outside of being a Trainee.

I have grown obsessed with IFTTT.  It stands for "If This Then That".  It allows you to build triggers around different web services and gives you the power to automate everything.  

The most popular sites on the internet are compatible with IFTTT (Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, ESPN, etc.) and since I use most forms of social media, having the ability to automatically send stuff other places tickles the part of my brain that NEEDS efficiency.  

For example: Using IFTTT, every time I upload a picture to Facebook, or Instagram, It puts a copy of that picture into a folder on my Dropbox account.  I've also got it setup to do the same whenever someone tags me in a photo.  Everyday, after the Braves game, the ESPN IFTTT channel sends me a text message with the results. Also, anytime a post is added to Craig's List in the Jackson area that includes the phrase "Rock Band" I get an email.

I know it sounds kinda dumb but seeing it in action is almost exciting.  Also, everytime I write a post for Techpedition.com it archives it in a .txt file in my drop box.  My Dropbox is filling up with all kinda of automatic crap, its amazing!

This inspired me to start a new blog, well kinda.  Using IFTTT and Tumblr, I am dumping all of the content that I post to every social media hub into one bucket.  liugeauxallin.tumblr.com.  Everything from Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, Tumblr (this blog), Techpedition, etc. will automatically post to this new Tumblr.  

I'm calling it "The Lazy Auto-Biographer".  I don't expect anyone to actually visit it or read it, but its more of a record for me to go back to possibly years from now and have my life dictated back to me in order. If I was a website developer, I'm sure I could do this really easily with HTML or other web magic.  It would probably look better that way, but right now I'm content with the raw info dump that's happening over there.  

I'll continue to periodically post stuff here, and nothing else will change, except now I'll have an annoyingly precise record of everything I'm doing.  Who knows, I might need to use it as an alibi someday.  

I don't know if this is as cool or intriguing as I'd like it to be, but I would love for this to catch on and everyone have their own little life dump to go look at.  Actually, what I'm doing sounds like a pitch in a meeting at some California Web-company's corporate office.
