facebook

recently, an old high school friend found me on facebook.

i then poked around her friends and re-befriended all the high school people i found there. all week we have been chatting back and forth, talking about babies, cheerleading, and peeping into each others' photo albums. i love it.

i really enjoy finding old connections and reconnecting, but i have found that others do not enjoy this. maybe they find it suspicious that i am curious about their lives now, maybe it is awkward b/c we were momentarily french kissing partners or were once friends until i pulled the bitchy high school girl role of suddenly not being friends with them (i still have guilt over this! for real!), but i see no harm in touching base. obviously, these people once meant something to me, or else i wouldn't care.

this real life facebook video from youtube depicts how totally bizarre it is to reconnect with someone--IF that were real life. but that's exactly the point: i would NEVER ring a handfull of my facebook "friends'" doorbells and announce that i was going to poke, message, gift, or post unflattering photos of them. i guess i'm arguing that facebook isn't real life. agree/disagree?

regardless, this youtube video is a riot. (not irregardless, nicki! don't worry, i wont' disqualify myself from your friend list by using that faux word!)
