So, my kiddos are napping after church. We've had a project going on outside and we've been up late every night and it SHOWED during church with all of us having a meltdown in church today. Ok, Michael and I weren't crying on the outside, but we were on the inside.
I don't know if this belongs here on my blog, but here goes... my kids are asleep, I'm done with my books and magazine... and I'm bored.
So, I've had a couple of weird facebook friend experiences. Friend requests from the weirdest of places... childhood friends, who moved away in KINDERGARTEN after their parents were divorced. Then finding me, requesting my friendship... me ignoring it (rude I know) and then REQUESTING IT AGAIN... me accepting it and then telling me that I look exactly the same as I did in kindergarten. (I should certainly hope I don't.)
Then, the friendship request from another person who I did go to elementary school with and kind of disappeared from my memory from then on (although I'm pretty sure she went to jr high and high school with me but I have no recollection of her at all). Requesting multiple times to be my friend (after again, me being rude and declining the requests) and then nothing. I thought, she's seeking me out for some reason... but then no message, nothing. huh.
The weirdest is when I have seen a facebook friends.... at Target for example this weekend (bizarre by the way, I haven't seen her since highschool, a LONG time ago, and then see her out of the blue) ... and she walks past me, and I walk past her... and neither of us say hi. Maybe she didn't recognize me, but I recognize her... and I HAVE the same face as in kindergarten right, so I should be recognizable. And we are facebook friends, right?!
I could go on about my facebook rant... but I wont. Maybe someday if my blog goes private (which I should probably do, but I think is a pain, but might someday).
But I don't understand the dynamics of it.

Loved your facebook rant. I had similar experiences of people that I barely knew requesting to be friends. I didn't get it. I thought maybe it was so they could look popular by having a thousand friends or something :-) Sometimes those old school desires of being popular never end! I probably looked pathetic on facebook since I only had about 30 + friends, but I was very selective of those I confirmed.
Amen to all that, although without it I probably wouldn't get to chat with you! So I'll keep looking at it, despite its evilness.
