Winning has always been really important to me. I'm in it to win it always. Everything is a competition.
I'm not the kind of person who has a big old whinge if I don't win... Actually that's a lie. I do, but I don't get all sore about it. I always display what I would consider to be a reasonable level of sportsmanship.
I hve recently discovered "Strava.".http://www.strava.com/
It's an app that connects you and your running buddies so you can check each others runs and and rides. I am not exactly certain whether the point is social fitness, or the point is "beat your friend". Either way, watch out Strava buddies. I'm coming for you and your regular running routes.

Facebook Fights
Something I have been experiencing in the past couple of months to an outrageous extent, are "facebook fights." People that have decided that rather than a good old private phone call, or even the heated but outdated text message, they will publicly challenge you on facebook. In real time. For all your hundreds of "friends" to see.
While I can see the potential for "facebook fights" having a negative influence on young girls and the general ceramic population (to whom I would suggest should immediately delete the fools who are bullying you from your account as a solution to the problem), I personally find a modicum of hilarity in the whole pathetic drama.
It would seem that sometimes people think it appears clever when they feel they have devised a meaningful response to a post they disagree with. Oh well done. It's only taken you 10 minutes to come up with the most insidious response you can muster. All I can say, is that I am glad I'm not actually in contact with these people face to face. It would be about as exciting as watching a sloth cross the road. So... not very exciting at all, albeit mildly amusing. See below for said amusement.
Even better, is when facebook is being utilised as a communication tool between groups of whatever sort, and people use it to have an actual argument with someone. Actual arguments on facebook serve only to cause great awkwardness the next day, when, in my experience, people pretend like it hasn't happened. Cowards.
Some of my favourite controversial status's are things about abortion, gay marriage or Julia Gillard, but guess what? Ultimately I don't care whether you are for or against these things. Nor does anyone else... except maybe radical crazies who are going to stalk you, hunt you down and kill you because you don't share their appreciation for whatever sky fairy it is that they believe in. You should watch out for that.
