Yes, I get it, blogs are yesterday’s news. I write but don’t know if my blog could make a living for itself. Yes, I still put two spaces between sentences which is frowned upon in the internet world but I fear my Aunt Lorna would come down upon my words with the latest wordsmith manual and prove her lessons correct.
Now onto why I hate Facebook. It’s owner is a real jerk. They sell our info everywhere so there’s no privacy. And the worst part is that I’m back in high school and figuring out who we want to be friends with.
Don’t get me wrong, I was a nice girl but high school is the proving ground, at least for girls. I tried to escape the pettiness by getting involved in sports. But I settled with my “pack” which was tier two of the girl hierarchy. And what a ride it was. My husband and I got to meet my high school BFF a few years ago and it didn’t feel like a day passed even though we went our own ways. I’ve been in touch with one other gal from high school and now scores of people from college.
Our unofficial college song was what I thought was the Armadillo. It’s Jerry Jeff Walker and London Homesick Blues. Since then I’ve even lived in Texas and went to the dance hall in Gruene where he’s played. “And I’d substantiate the rumor that the English sense of humor is dryer than the Texas sand, …” Years from college I have to learn to play the guitar for the dance or just do the dance with the brothers and sisters now reunited through Facebook.
Welcome to the internet, brother Dan. Love to all, Dee

To me, FB is the equivalent of the air-kiss w/an insincere “How are you?”
(Fine, thanks – but you don’t REALLY want to know!)
Still, a few old friends have tracked me down through it, which makes its minor aggravations worthwhile…
How quaint and true. Being married to technologists and forward-thinkers we thought blogs were cool and now there’s FB and tweets. Interestingly, I’ve found I like to write. Oh, and I’m taking care of some adoptable kitties for a local non-profit. Giving back. D
Just remember: they can’t give away information unless you give it to them, first.
Did I list myself as single? D
