At first, it was just my college buddies relentlessly emailing me about joining Facebook so we could keep up with each other's lives. I finally conceded and signed up. Not long after, it took an ugly turn and photos of me wearing paisley shirts and acid-washed jeans were splashed across the internet for all my "friends" to see.
When this happened, I complained to a few of my Peeps. Their response? They signed up on Facebook too and now they are completely obsessed with it.
Fine. I give up. I'm surrounded and there's only one way to respond.
I have resolved to become more Facebook friendly in '09. This could prove to me a bit more challenging that losing 20 lbs or reading the Bible through in a year, both of which I should resolve to do but won't. After all, I'll be too busy writing on walls and super poking and sending flair.
I suppose what they say is true; We fear that which we do not understand.
And I really don't understand Facebook.
So, if you're really my friend you'll help me make this transition and you will not mock me. I truly want to become a part of your world but I need guidance, not ridicule. I may ask questions that seem ridiculous and silly but please I beg you, just give me and answer and laugh behind my back.
I have decided to start slowly. Yesterday I added photos with comments for all of you to view. I might add a few more today. But I'm also going to go through my friend list and randomly select 20 of you. I will then.....brace yourselves......Write On Your Wall!!! I know, I know. It's a bold step.
If you have suggestions on things I could do in the next few days to better acclimate myself, please leave me a comment. I will do my best to oblige.
Get ready Facebook friends, I'm comin' through.

And that is what it is all about my friend, AVOIDING RESPONSIBILITIES! Trust me, I still dont get half of it, I just pretend I do! :)

Quit worrying, it will be fine. YOu probably felt the same thing when you started blogging. Only thing is, there's many more feedback channels on Facebook than a blog.
That and any incriminating pictures of my wife will be greatly appreciated!
Let me know what you find out. I need a couple of lessons on FB myself. My husband kidnapped me yesterday on FB, which I didn't even know you could do.
Anyway, have fun!
Heard you have a big birthday coming up. You don't look a day older than 29. Happy Early Birthday!
you've been avoiding your responsibilities quite well today;)
WOOOO! I got a message on my wall today....and you took my sexy back.
AND I think you beat my score at PathWords!
Looks like you've got the hang of FB.
Now, I need to know if Santa brought you that scanner or not????
I'm waiting for confirmation that I made the top 20 cut. You did write on my wall recently, but I think I wrote you first, so that totally doesn't count.
