I did it. I joined the social networking extravaganza known to all (but me) as Facebook. It is really confusing. I officially have friends. Well, I am guessing they are my 'friend' because they did hit accept (which is a very strange concept if you think about it- which I am trying not to do because, hey, now I am a card carrying member of this shenanegan so I can no longer knock it publicly).

So I signed up, I got friends, and then I got very very very confused. I'm not sure at all how this thing works. There are 'walls' and 'pokes' and I don't get how to make it say "Brooke Kirchner Meek is..." What is the difference between writing that and something to someone? Oh, and there are the networks. I want my thingy to say Michigan Alum but I don't know how. I thought I knew how but then it asked for my U of M email. What?!

Then there is the privacy issue. I don't want anyone to see me but when I went to the privacy settings it was four pages long- how in the world am I supposed to know what to have say 'yes' and what to have say 'no.' Do they make tutors for this? Mary can you come help me?

Signing up for this was supposed to make me feel more with it, hipper, cooler, you know, like someone that has a ton of 'friends.' Instead it is making me feel frustratingly old. Very old with 22 friends.
