Man, not that in any way I'd ever consider myself a "bloggio star" (whatever that means) but going full sail on Facebook has seriously piked into the small amount of time I had left over to post on Ho Hum. I'm guessing this effect isn't unique to me (and I also found this similar sentiment). Regardless of how far you thought you left behind your high school and/or college days, you'd be surprised how compulsively you will jump right back in, making "friends" with people you only barely knew, or even disliked. You partly do this to be nice and assume that the person may no longer be a bully or a bitch, or maybe you will think that they may have liked you more than you thought (har!!). Or you may do this because you simply want to see what happened to them (for better or worse) since they (and you) left that world behind. Either way, it is a MAJOR TIME SUCK, and though I'm digging it now (I really am... and my high school was not that viscious, and even most of the jocks were nice guys), I wonder if the "SUCK" part of that will be where I end up with the whole Facebook endeavor. That said, seeing uploaded photos of your 2nd grade class and trying to figure out who is who in that photo has its appeal at this age... but then again, maybe facebook is really EVIL (please chime in, all 2 of you)!!!
p.s., I've noticed that when you go to someone's facebook page and all you can get access too is their "friends" list, you click on that button and because that person either hasn't had time to bother or has chosen not to play, facebook coldly informs you "Fred Jackson has no friends..." The nerve, but then again, it does sound so stark, so sad...
