Fast forward several months and I am obsessed. What happened in the interim is that people I knew from my distant past began contacting me and asking me to be my friend on Facebook. It has been fascinating to catch up with people from my past and see what they are up to. I have found or been found by: my prom date from high school (married with five boys-oh my!!!),my roommate from my wild years in Florida (who has also gotten married and settled down with two kids of her own), various college friends, and several friends from my military days. It also helps me keep up with some friends that I am still in contact with but don't get to talk to often enough. I can see pics and videos of their families. I can participate in random surveys, play games, send gifts and the list goes on. I don't have to friend anyone that I don't really want to and they don't have to friend me either. I have only been rejected by one person who I dated a lifetime ago and I really wanted to send back a message and say, "Okay, you really were not all that."
I love my life and I wouldn't change it for anything but it is nice to remember back to the days when I was just a daughter, friend, and girlfriend. No responsibilities, no bills, really no worries, except what we were going to do that weekend.
If you are looking for a way to revisit your past or you just want something that will suck up hours of your time but leave you smiling, Facebook might be just the ticket. My husband won't join because he thinks that he will be contacted by his plethora of old girlfriends and it will end up making me mad and then he will be in trouble. He said, "Kathleen, joining Facebook would be like me seeing a train coming and throwing myself in front of it anyway." I think maybe he thinks too highly of himself. LOL! I would love to see all of you join because then I wouldn't be the only one obsessed. BTW- I absolutely expect an invitation to be your friend if you join.
