Facebook

I was very anti-MySpace and Facebook for quite some time. I blog, so why do I need to do the social-page thing, as well? But when my husband signed up, I started to see the benefits. He's suddenly back in touch with people he knew years ago.

Considering that I moved a lot as a kid, even to Europe for a while, I've lost track of a lot of people. I decided to give Facebook a try.

Wow! I'm now back in touch with sorority sisters, friends from my Texas high school, my Louisiana junior high, and most excitingly, my high school in Europe. I now have more excuses to visit London again (as if seeing my nieces weren't excuse enough) as a few friends are living in and around London.

It's sort of odd, though, seeing all these people from different places and periods of my life all intermingling on my page. Even stranger is looking at friend lists and discovering that my friends are friends with people I knew at a different time. A sorority sister is friends with someone I knew from kindgergarten to 3rd grade, for example. Strange stuff!

Anyone else do the Facebook or MySpace thing?

Edited to add: I've heard from my sorority sister who has a picture with an old elementary-school friend of mine. She said she doesn't actually know her; that was a group shot from a shower. So I guess I should say that my friends from different periods of my life apparently have some mutual friend(s).
