Friends

Do some folks spend their entire day on Facebook? I joined it kind of on a lark, and I (inadvertedly) set is so I get an alert on my Blackberry whenever someone posts something on my page. I had no idea that this would be like, every 2 seconds. For those of you without a Facebook page, if there are any of you, there is a question, "What are you doing now?" One chick that is my "friend" on Facebook, writes stuff like, "I am washing dishes...Should I handwash the china or put it in the dishwasher....oh,no, what should I do?" Then, like ten seconds later some other "friend" writes her back, saying, "I always handwash my china separately and I highly recommend it." And, I am supposed to be interested in this? Really, the whole "friend" thing is strange. Folks I do not know want to be my "friend." They send me photos that I would have erased as soon as I sobered up, like of the "friend" passed out with empty beer bottles all around. And, then they use the photo when asking to be my "friend." Whatever happened to actually meeting folks face to face? Is that just too easy these days?
