We had a
local council election this weekend. Annoying after just having voted in the
state election, yes, but I was rather looking forward to checking out people’s
voting day garage sales.
Unfortunately
it poured down rain and my enthusiasm was dampened (I borrowed a little pun
from my twitter there, it was so good I just had to repeat it, sorry. I’m not
witty very often). Instead I stayed inside and pottered about doing housework. I
also seized the opportunity to do a few things I have been putting off to do
with wedding photos – ie. Email them to people as promised and also upload a
heap of the professional ones to Facebook.
I continue
to be overwhelmed by my friends’ and family’s interest in my wedding photos –
they were THERE for goodness sake. But I get it, I get it. They didn’t get to
see the bridal shoot so I have emailed some of the prime ones off. I also put a
heap up on Facebook.
Within an
hour I was deleting a Facebook comment for the first time. While this may be a
familiar action to many of you who run fan pages for your blogs (though I hope
to god people don’t leave nasty comments on them regularly!) it was a first for
me, and remember this was my personal page.
I posted
this photo:
It cracks
me up. We were supposed to be taking a shot of us kissing with the silhouette
being the feature. C was making me laugh by making shadow puppets, and the
photographer captured him doing a barking dog. A friend commented – “what was
he doing? Is he insinuating you’re a bitch?”
I’m sorry –
WHAT? How do you even interpret that from a fun, lighthearted photo. FROM OUR
WEDDING DAY. Anyways, I responded by explaining no, he’s just making me laugh.
Then deleted her comment. I didn’t want my family reading that!
Whenever I
delete a useless email at work I say obnoxiously “BAA-LETED!”. I must admit I
did it with this comment too. I have no idea where I got this from but I still
find it amusing.
When was
the last time you deleted a comment? Do you exercise your right to moderate
your own Facebook or blog?
Hi, I'm Sarah! I'm 33 and searching for my passion.
Until then, I slog away in a cubicle working full-time and focus on enjoying my downtime with things like TV (my old friend), movies, twitter, (trying to) cook, reading and hanging out with my hubby. My head is turned by things like vintage homewares, stationery, chocolate and scrapbooking. I blog about whatever takes my fancy.
What?! That's craaazy! You're so right - how on earth could you even possibly derive that from what is such a beautiful photo?! Some people - they're nutters!
ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous!
Having a fan page for my photography business means that I very often have to delete stuff. People critique your work, flog their own photography business and all sort of things - it's so hurtful to the client! I delete that stuff a lot.
ReplyDeletei have a few family member who make stupid or critical comments on Facebook so I just delete them, too :)
That's a crazy insinuation. I didn't get that at all. In fact, I had to look a few times to even see the dog- I thought he was holding something.
ReplyDeleteAnd on your personal page too? Maybe time to delete the person?
P.S I love your wedding dress! You look gorgeous!
With friends like that...
ReplyDeleteWhere is my photo email *pouts*
Teasing you know.
