I recently read an article about how Facebook is destroying high school reunions. Reunions used to be about re-connecting with old friends and seeing how everybody turned out. But now, with everyone being FB friends with everyone they've ever known, we are all in touch with everybody already. There's no mystery anymore...no more dreaming about whatever happened to my tenth-grade crush. Well, now, through Facebook, I know: he got chubby, is married with four kids, and lives in the Inland Empire. I don't know if he still smells like Drakkar Noir, so there's still a little mystery, I suppose...but not much.

It kind of makes me want to quit Facebook together, but I won't, because I think it's actually a pretty good way of keeping in touch with friends and feeling like you know what's going on in their lives. And now that I'm used to being up-to-date on what everybody had for breakfast, I'd miss it if it were gone. So I'm stuck.

I saw a girl I went to high school with recently. I didn't say hi or talk to her (we weren't that close in high school), but thanks to FB, I know where she works and who she's dating. Isn't that crazy? You couldn't have imagined this 15 years ago, but this is how the world is now. Sigh. I miss the old days!

Haha, I know, but he smelled soooo good. We sat next to each other in math class, so I'd just sit there sniffing him. I really wanted him to ask me to the prom, but he went with this girl Kristie. Beeyotch.

And you are SMART for not being on FB. Don't cave and join.
 
I tried FB under my IHO persona... but there was too much pressure to be witty all the time... and the FBI started to get close so I had to burn the trail.

Plus... I don't want Panda bothering me *every* day with John's Creek weather updates.
 
I'm tempted to join but still worry about the privacy issues. FB is always looking for ways profit from your profile and I am sure Big Brother is watching as well.
 
No FB for me.  Don't go to HS reunions either.  People I care about, I stay connected to in other ways.  People I don't connect with, I don't care about.

I completely understand what you are saying, Girlfriend! I don't care if this isn't 1985. Drakkar Noir makes me soooo devastatingly weak in the knees.  :-* I don't know what they put in that bottle but whatever it is should be illegal! I also love Gravity and Hugo Boss. A new favorite is Curve. (That one is thanks to USCTrojan. He let me sniff him and ask. He didn't make me feel weird about it so why do I feel weird typing it out? I dunno. LOL) I keep my man fully stocked on all the above!! TMI? Eh. Mebe. I don't care anymore. Nobody is reading this except you and little ol' me. And maybe 50 of our closest friends. :)

Include our 23 guests too.
On second thoughts, make it 22. One guest is me, under disguise.

There was a boy who smelled like Arabian Jasmine. He was a Muslim and he sat next to me in elementary school. He would always tell me he didn't know the name of the perfume because his dad got it from Saudi Arabia. Oh that smell!! I will plant a thousand kinds of jasmines in my hundred square feet backyard, and buy every perfume that says Jasmine till I discover it one day.

Facebook: Yes, there is no mystery. Breaks my heart to know that they have all moved on, and have fallen in love with their wives :P
