thoughtsandthings... 12/22 FACEBOOK!

I'm a Pisces.
I have an addictive personality.
I check my email, text messages, voicemails and the deephousepage 4,798 times a day.
FACEBOOK was the last thing that I needed.
I'm not even that open. I've never been the Myspace, Classmates.com type.
So how did I get addicted to FACEBOOK?
It's simple.
It's the Myspace for grown-ups. No music. No graphics. No bullshit.
It's a wonderland. It has me so open. I've found people that I forgot I knew.
People have found me that I forgot I loved. I AM SO OPEN right now.
The world is amazingly small and we're all here getting connected and sharing via FACEBOOK!
We are truly separated by a mere 6 degrees.
But like anything else it has it's drawbacks.
My Piscean skin is very thin.
So when I send a friend request and I get ignored, it hurts.
When you see that same person confirm someone else, it's like DANG!
And those boxes of People That You May Know...
Well it keeps rotating and just like you see those people, they see you.
So you know that they're NOT clicking on you just like you're
NOT clicking on them. And then the circle gets smaller and smaller and smaller.
You're all becoming friends with other people and NOT each other
and the list gets so tiny until FINALLY one of you breaks down to request friendship from the other. It's a funny thing.
On the flip side of that, there's this elementary school type satisfaction
when your request is accepted. Especially by someone that you didn't expect
would accept it. It's euphoric that feeling of inclusiveness, of belonging...to
anything, i guess.
It's a strange, but beautiful thing, this FACEBOOK!
Hanging out in other people's worlds...getting knowledge and inspiration from each other.
No Myspace for me. I'm cool right here on FACEBOOK!
Maybe I'll see you there...
