I finally started using Facebook as of yesterday. Yes, I know, I’m only a few years late. (I have successfully avoided the whole MySpace thing. No plans on changing that.) I had been resisting for a long time now, assuming it was just another time waster. A friend of mine sent me an email to say that he was going to start posting some pictures on his profile, so I figured while I was on there, I might as well participate.
I currently have 114 “friends,” and probably nearly as many invitations still pending. It was nice to reconnect with a lot of old buddies, mostly from college, but also some from high school and Boy Scouts.
The most interesting thing has been seeing the connections between my groups of friends. There are more than a few instances where a friend from one group knows a friend from another group. It nearly makes you want to sing It’s a Small World.
So this is where you admit that you’ve had an account for years, with your profile set to private? :p
Good to see you on Facebook, but it was always nice to think of you as the guy who tried to stay out of the Facebook insanity.
Derek, thanks for pointing that out. I had intended to mention that in my post, but got in a bit of a hurry. Now, could you confirm me as a friend? :)
James, sorry to disappoint. It’s all Rick’s fault. He’s our new lodge advisor.
I never actually got a friend request from you, nor can I find you when I search on facebook. You listed under a pseudonym or something?
It would seem I forgot to “unhide” myself. Problem solved.
When I search for you it says “Friend Requested” next to your name. It won’t let me request again. Check your spam folder. Also, somewhere in your Facebook profile, there should be a list of people that have requested to be your friend. Or just search for me.
Did the email address you have associated with Facebook lapse?
Dunno. The request wasn’t showing up yesterday. Accepted now.
Thanks, friend.
