You captivate me. You really do. I find myself turning the computer on and clicking onto my icon that sends me straight to my home page. There I dwell on the little ins and outs of real friends and virtual friends.
You are always there to let me know when it's cold outside (here or even in Nebraska), when people are getting ready, and even when they are just sitting at a stop light. I enjoy the pictures of all the people that I've accepted a friend request from whether out of want or guilt. I even enjoy it when people are tagged in pictures for the whole world to see. Hey, I've always wanted a complete stranger on the opposite side of the country to know what I did in college. Isn't that why you get on facebook? To find out every piece of information on all the people you attended college and high school with?
I have to admit that I made the mistake of not knowing just how public facebook was when I requested 2 addresses in a note last year so my real life friends could receive a Christmas letter. To my astonishment 10 other people signed up to be put on my personal list. I guess I should feel honor and not scorn, but we had to go back to the archaic e-mail for any addresses we needed this year. The economy, you know, we had to cut back on the list.
A friend noted my scorn of the mundane on your pages and dedicated a whole day just to me. I was so honored that I feel I owe you, facebook, an apology for the sarcasm. Because of you I feel like I've lived the day in the life of this friend, pizza, cold hands, and all. As I was browsing and commenting all day I felt that facebook deserves a big thank you.
Thanks for making the world a lot smaller place.
Regards,
SL
