Facebook

So Joe is once again in meeting world tonight, but he promised me that if I stayed awake that he would pop me some of his yummy popcorn when he gets home and watch Bones with me (I taped it on Monday night). It is close to 9pm--really near my bedtime--so in an effort to stay awake I decided to check out Facebook. It seems like every time I am feeling pretty savvy about my computer skills I am completely humbled by venturing into an unknown world. And, believe me, Facebook is a completely unknown world to me. First I find out that in order to see anyone's profile you have to set up your own profile. So I did that. Then I found that you can search for all kinds of people--including by colleges and graduation years--really cool. So I searched on my years and began checking away on people that I knew and wanted to see their pages. I did not know that this would send them an email asking them "to be my friend". Is it possible to be embarrassed in cyberspace world??? I'm sure many of them are thinking "who in the world is this chic?!". Well, then I started getting people sending me messages and I had absolutely no idea how to even reply. Do you know there really isn't a "Help" tab on the Facebook page? So, I did whatever I do when I'm completely embarrassed and clueless--I logged out and decided to return to the safe haven of my blog. Maybe I'll venture into Facebook world again in the morning when I am thinking sharp and clear. Besides, I just realized that I don't think we have any popcorn left so I'm not sure that whole popcorn and a TV show is going to work. And I'm not really sure it would be good for me to eat popcorn at this point. Popcorn always makes me dream and I don't really want to wake up in a cold sweat at 2:14am because of a possible nightmare of Facebook friends chasing me down asking me why I haven't responded. Oh, I hear Joe's truck...he just walked in and he brought popcorn. I'll let you know what my dream is like in the morning...

I've been asked by old classmates to get a Facebook account but really, it is hard enough to keep up with my blog! Almost all the girls in my cell group have Facebook accounts and it is interesting to hear them talk about it. Definitely a social networking device.
