Facebook Madness

Well, I have to confess...I've been unfaithful to my blogging friends! I don't know what got into me, but yesterday on a whim, I decided to try and look at someone's facebook which of course you cannot do unless you have your own facebook. So, I signed up. I figured I could do it just for the sole purpose of "flying under the radar" and looking around. Well, I was wrong. Apparently I was facebook dumb. To make a long story short, I am obsessed with this facebook thing. It's totally consuming. Like last night, I had to pull myself away from it because even I was getting annoyed with myself. However, in just 24 hours, I am now in touch with like half of my classmates from high school. People I haven't talked to in years....seriously, years. Isn't that crazy? Also, I am clearly getting "old" because I didn't understand most of what I was doing and I had to call my youngest sister and ask her what stuff meant...that's lame. Also, now my email inbox is full and I mean full, of "friend requests" from like people all over my life, past and present. What kind of pandora's box have I unearthed??? I'm sort of enjoying facebook, but I'm also getting stressed out by it and I've only had it for one day! I think I can handle the blog world but I have serious doubts about the facebook world for now!

you're so funny! i have to admit, i'm the same way about myspace! i did the same thing with facebook but the whole "ping her" thing confused me and i wasn't sure i wanted the whole influx of people finding me like they have on myspace. so, we've stayed away from facebook.... ;)

Yeah, Ed tried that and said if he was every on it longer than 30 minutes at a time he would stop. Well needless to say, he turned his back on facebook forever! It is addicting!

We may have to check this out... I know the kids in Dallas are more into Facebook than Myspace. The kids in NC are way more into myspace. I'm glad you found so many friends! Did Travis tell you about the purple moped guy we saw in Wake Forest the other day?
