Facebook...

The whole world seems to be gravitating to this phenomenon of facebook. At first I was completely opposed to it mainly because almost everyone I went to Nicaragua with was in love with this webpage. Ironically when I came home from that trip I discovered that I had an invite and joined without hesitation... so much for my convictions of never joining the silly group.
Once you sign on to this website you will find yourself checking your email every ten mintues to see if someone has sent you a message or if someone has invited you to be their friend. Some of these people who invite you to be their friend have not seen or spoken to you in about 20 years. No joke. I found my neighbour from about 20 years ago... how did I find him??? I stalked him out and searched... *sigh* When one does not receive an invitation to be another's friend suden disappointment sinks in and leaves the person thinking they have no friends at all. To date I have almost 200... my goal is 500.
Five minutes after I checked my email the other day I checked it again and discovered that someone had invited me to be their friend. I almost fell off my chair because of laughter and complete shock. This reaction came from the fact that this person who invited me to be their 'friend' is the same person who wanted and tried to beat me up in school on more then one occassion... needless to say I accepted her friendship...
