The past few days, I’ve attempted life as a ‘normal person‘. Going out with friends, dates, bars, and today, I even had an ‘average Sunday’ — Sunday brunch, Sunday errands, lazy Sunday in a park, then Sunday coffee with my friends, complete with the Sunday paper.

I understand full customization ie: filter, group filtering, is not yet available. BUT there are ways to help reduce ‘noise’ per se. So um, can we all focus on the positive in lieu of the negative? Please? Thanks. :)
