Sucked into the Black Hole Known as FaceBookFollow

Well I was sucker into getting an FaceBook account by my daughters, as a way to stay in touch with our Renn Faire Friends year round.

Then I found a few friends from High School. One of whom posts these great Nerd link to science and craft projects, and we renew a friendship over our knitting and love of all that is Nerdy.

I knit comforty socks and rave about how my feet love them and she knits the Periodic Table and squid.

Now I can't get on my computer without checking to see what she links she has posted.

While of course reading and watching youtube posts from Rennie friends.

Today my friend link to how to make Mummied Faeries, which I had to repost for all the Fairy Friends I ended up with, online since a lot of them are Renn Faire friends.

The only line I draw is don't expect me to play a game appt, just so you can earn more points or become the next Mafia Don.

So who comments on the Mummy Fairy link, I reposted but DSD.

Yes there is no escape once you find not just friends you made over the years are on FaceBook, but you kid brother and all your older nieces and nephew are there.

Only complaint I have is Jonwin refuses to make his own account and then ask me to befriend his co-workers and check out what they are posting.

So who else other Thumb, DK and DSD have been sucked into this black hole?

At 267 friends I can't keep them all strait in my mine. I need to cut the list down some, as I really never will attend some of the invites I get for local nude swims, concert nearly every night of the week, plus a zillion other things people keep sending me invites to.

Still my friend from high school been sending me recipes of meals that don't require milk that are simple to make and in my budget. So I keep coming back.

Then there all the non connected folk that look at you strange, as if you were some kid who plays DnD all weekend in your friends basement.

Oh I was that kid. In fact, I was the dream date for a lot of guys at war gaming con I went to when I was 17. Then my first boyfriend the year before introduce me as the girl that new so much about computers. He was same who went to war gaming convention were we got our Red Box set.

I use it, it's a handy way to contact classmates of mine, and be able to talk with my friends who are half-way around the world doing JET by leaving private messages.

I don't like the apps, really. They are pretty annoying and clutter up my page.

I also can't get how people can spend hours on it. There doesn't seem to be -that- much to do.

I haven't logged into WoW for nearly two months thanks to Facebook.

I am outside the event horizon.

I'm ever so slowly slipping towards getting one.

Most of my friends have one, I know a few of my relatives that I rarely see have them as well; and so on and so forth.

I'll hate myself a bit when it happens, but I'm probably getting one around about Thanksgiving.

I realized my gaming habits have devolved into Sorority Life and Pet Society.

I also ended up making a Facebook account this weekend. I'm now friends with...my family. Also a few random people from high school, and one or two old co-workers. My wife tells me everything that goes on on Facebook anyways, so it's going to be another MySpace (something I log into for a week at first then forget about entirely).

I don't do apps, I don't do games. My wife hijacks my accounts to play Mafia Wars and stuff like that so she has another person to recruit.

I also got Twitter during the whole Iran election deal, which I haven't used since thing, though my sister is following me.

Isn't the only reason to go to those things to laugh at those who you used to despise and how **** their lives turned out?

Facebook makes a nice bridge between OoT Posts, Work and random webcomics.

This is the only reason any of you are still on my friends lists, what with your "So-and-so got a new cow!" and "This person needs cilantro!" and "This dink killed a hooker!" reports.

Agreed, and bookmarked!
