Let’s talk about Facebook

The boot giveaway ends tomorrow! Enter today!

I found this on Perry Mason’s Timeline, back when Facebook first introduced that little wonderment. Watch out, indeed, for I shall “Like” your updates and share fascinating dog videos with you.

If this weren’t November, I probably wouldn’t have shared this with you. Alas.

Let’s talk about Facebook.

I joined Facebook on June 4, 2008, because my friend Jeni said we could play Scrabble there. I did nothing with Facebook but play Scrabble until July 29, 2008, when I finally posted a status update. It was about the weather. Because I am infinitely fascinating.

I still play a lot of Scrabble on Facebook, mostly with my Dad, who also joined Facebook to play Scrabble. I lay 75 percent of the blame for my pathetic Scrabble record at his feet.

I know a lot of people have a love/hate relationship with Facebook, but I’m pretty much an unwavering fan. It has issues, sure, but without Facebook I wouldn’t feel as close to my friends and family. Sure, I probably could’ve gone without knowing that my young cousin has a crush on every girl in his school. But at least it’ll give him something to razz him about the next time I see him.

Why did you join Facebook?
