Facebook

so the older I get and the further from my childhood.. the more people I sit back and wonder..

"whatever happened to so and so? did they get married? announce they were gay? have kids? divorce? divorce again? end up in jail? move away from 'our' tiny corner of the world?

And I'll be.. there they are on facebook!

Looking about 10 (15, 20?!) years older than I remember and causing me to think "sheesh.. do *I* look that old?! I can't possibly!!"

And then I look in the mirror and add wrinkle cream to my list of what I should try to remember to buy when I go to the store and pluck a pesky grey hair.. (from my chin!)

If you're not on facebook, you can't possibly be reading a blog or have internet and electricity.. because evey my parents have facebook accounts. I'm not sure they know how to use them, but they have them...

I haven't fully figured out facebook- there are 100's of people I see there and wonder about but stop short of the "add to friends" button.. I mean, really, we were more aquaintances 20 years ago- I think it's a stretch to call ourselves friends now.. right?

Or not.. that might be how my brother has like 1000 friends on facebook and I have a few dozen. it's not the quantity, it's the quality, right?
