I've been enjoying hanging out on Facebook these last few weeks, but there is a downside. Seeing faces and hearing stories about people I haven't seen in 10 or 20 years leaves my subconscious dreaming about these people and places I used to know. But I want my dreams to be of things to come, not always of the past.
So I'm not sure if I keep looking back or if I get off Facebook and start planning my future.
Or maybe, I look for the middle ground.
Either way, the early morning dreams have been interesting. I wonder what I'd be processing in my head if I was doing something other that randomly scanning status updates on facebook?

my sister is fervently pursuing me to join facebook, and i just can't commit. she even sent me this article to try and entice me. it is a interesting tool in "connecting" people, as long as it doesn't replace the real people interactions that are so necessary to a healthy well-being. i struggle with this enough, relying on e-mail and blogging...
So it's true what I've heard about Facebook--all those old highschool classmates really are out there??
Funny. I still think of them as 18, drunk, and obnoxious.
Present company excluded, of course. :)
tim had joined and i started looking at old friend's spaces through his. i can see how anyone can become easily addicted! then he quit his membership (because it was a distraction at work, etc.) and i could no longer spy unless i joined, but i decided not to. right now, i am kind of with ann on this. but it is tempting!
My SIL had me sign up last month so I could access HER photos to use for a Christmas present for my parents. Just in the last few days, 4 friends from high school have crawled out of the woodwork. I'm not really sure why I now have a "radical socialist atheist" as a "friend", but I do. I WISH they were all still 18, and drunk!
And minutes ago, a good friend sent me a "note" via Facebook. To respond, I have to click on the link from my email, go into facebook and send a reply. And I just want to ask her why the heck she didn't just send me an email in the first place?
Maybe I just don't "get" it. Maybe I don't want to get it!
I just keep pointing people to my blog. Even the radical socialist atheists. Fun stuff.
