On FaceBook anyway.
I’ve been resisting Facebook for a while now.
I have my own blog/website (here), I have a (free) LiveJournal account I barely use, I have a Yahoo account, Flickr, and MobileMe. I even use AIM ( we use it at work). To say nothing of several Gmail accounts, and accounts on assorted fan fiction sites I post stories to. To say nothing of an assortment of accounts on numerous websites so I can participate in discussions.
I tried MySpace, wasn’t impressed and cancelled my account on it. I think.
Why add the uber social website, FaceBook? What got me to finally break down, stumble out of the hermitage, and sign up?
The T went off to college on Thursday. And she uses FaceBook. And now if she would just get back to her dorm from whatever orientation / party she’s at ( on a Saturday? Good Luck! ) and “friend” me ( I’m told all the cool kids do that – “friend” parents ) I won’t be completely, pathetically, friendless on FaceBook.
Note to the curious/compulsive “friender” : If you aren’t a close friend, SO, or family member, don’t expect me to be “friending” you on FaceBook. Though I might think about it if you’re a favorite writer or musician. Or favorite actress. Maybe 
. It’s an extremely exclusive list.
(Yeah! I’ve been friended! That was quicker than I thought. She must be between activities.)
