C is for Confidence


Facebook is actually a pretty neat thing: I can keep in touch with people that I never see, and talk to others that I haven't seen in a LONG time! I am friends with my brother, Dave, my roommates, kids from Elementary school, Peter's sister Jami, my cousin Barbara, friends from Florida, etc, etc. It is really nice to be able to see what everyone is up to! But one of the downsides is all of the applications that I am requested to add. It would take a while to explain these, but you can add things like quizzes, games, etc. The one that is of interest to me right now is the Spark application. Anyone can look at someone's profile pic (not their information) and say if they would date that person. It can be anonymous or not, it is up to you.

Ok, well I haven't added this application, because really, I don't think anything would come of it. However, I do get emails from Spark telling me what OTHERS have said. I could disable these emails if I wanted...but to be honest, in a weird way, they make me feel good! They are really cheesy, but it is funny how something so dumb can make me smile!! :) Here are some examples of things these emails have said:

Jen, you are more desired than 96% of people.

Jen, David Allen is interested in you!

This is a summary of reasons that people gave when asked "Why would you date Jen Hinckley?"
1.cute
2.funny
3.hot


So, as lame as this application is, I'll admit it puts a smile on my face!!

Hey, I want to know what's up with the other 4% :-)
It's a good thing I don't have my picture available on-line. Unlike you, the feedback on me would be brutal :-)
Thanks for sharing this info with us. It was fun to think about. Love, Dad

Hey you cute, funny, hot lady! I only have one question for you...are you interested in David Allen? :) Work it, Jen, work it!

Jen, I have to agree with you about what a great family you have, and I include you in that too. You guys are truly my coolest cousins (just don't tell my other cousins :)).
