I resisted the allure of Facebook for two years. A few times a week, an invitation to join would pop up and I would scoff, and delete it. I don't need to sign up for one more thing. One more username and password to remember. One more place to upload stuff too. I was not going to get sucked into spending even more time online.I was wrong.
Facebook is awesome!
In the few weeks since I joined, I have been in contact with close friends I haven't talked to recently. I have reconnected with some people from high school. I have found a bunch of friends from Border's. And even cooler...I have found some family.
Growing up with divorced parents, you lose contact with members of your extended family. It happens. And I was always curious about the few cousins that I had, and what happened to them. This past week, I got some answers, from Facebook.
It's a slow going process, getting to know people that you have abond with but no relationship. It will be interesting to learn about their childhoods, their families.
It's a cool thing.
Oh yeah, the picture above is on my fifth birthday. I am holding my cousin Cynthia. The towhead is my brother, and that's my Grandma watching over us.
Yep it's the coolest thing I've found on the pc to date. I love that I have found not only family from near and far (Italy) but some of my old roomies from college that had totally fell off my radar and I always wondered where they were... Glad you finally gave in. It's a great way to stay connect to those you don't see enough of.
ReplyDeleteI just joined up last week too. It is great isnt it.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're having fun with it! I'm still in the scoff and delete phase. ;-)
