I am just busting out my new age communication butterfly wings... I just created a Facebook account! After years of telling my friends that I wasn't going to Facebook. I was going to hold out and be one of the very few people in mdern history to not be on Facebook. But alas, why have I not learned to never say never!
Moving from the city where I was a few blocks from my dearest friends to a city an hour away, very quickly changed my view of Facebook's usefulness.
I think I actually felt kind of smug about the fact I wasn't on Facebook. I was above the inexplicable need to post my every move and be constantly updating my status while checking on other's. I was far too busy in my day to be bothered with playing farming, or collecting cupcakes or smiley faces and other such silly activities. Facebook is for teenagers to exchange comments about each other and pictures with their friends. But...what the heck I will give in and join the masses and create a Facebook account. Now, of course, it is just for posting pictures of the new place, and the dogs. Goodness knows I don't really have time for Facebook.
Turns out I am completely Facebook challenged! Crap on a cracker there is a ton of stuff going on in there. I eventually got my profile picture loaded and got a few other pictures on there. I had ridiculous time trying to figure out wall-to-wall and how to know when they are other people's walls, and then how to get back to your own. Holy cow.
But it is done, and I have taken the leap into the world of virtual communication. Not only do I have a Facebook account, but I have a blog. They are not time wasters, no not at all. You can look it as two very current and cool communicate tools I can use to keep in touch with my fellow members of this global village we all live in, friends and strangers alike. Or you can look at as my need to spill forth ramblings of whatever is floating around in my brain at the time and pictures of my life (only the ones that don't make me look fat of course) to anyone who cares to view it.
Well, which ever it doesn't matter. You have to move with the times and stay current, besides it is time for me to check my status.
