i have been addicted to facebook recently. although i have but 117 friends (and counting), i am updated with what's happening where and when and with who. i think this has become the social scenario of the millenium, the link to whoever's past and present and to some extent, the future. it is a nice avenue to track friends from elementary days, the odd peeps from high school and the cool guys from college, the groups mates from medical school, the beer buddies from work and just about anybody who has been a part of your life.
anyways, i don't sign in as often as i wanted to - just because the internet here in cool c'cpur is as slow as the apple falling on newton's head. but whenever i have the time (and the internet speed necessary) i log in and see what my fb friends are doing or planning.
what do i not like about facebook? the pics are polished but i couldn't get the smiles. i admit i have empty smiles too... maybe because i am too conscious that this is going to be posted in facebook. now where did those candid moments go? don't post anything that will show zits or surgical scars! a friend i know photoshops her pics first before posting. the photos look so glossy, i hardly recognize her.
that aside, it is nice to keep up with everyone. i have met (online of course) people who i share the same family name with, acquaintances from conferences of long ago, and the crushes who broke my young heart from yesteryears. and isn't it nice to see them fat and wrinkly like any other human being? life...
i don't know when the fad is going to end. definitely i shall be logging in every now and then to see what you are doing.
the only thing is -- you're now in a complicated relationship and I can't match you!
