Facebook.

*****PLEASE NOTE: This is an old blog. It is outdated. Yes, I know, it still comes up sometimes on a Google search, but it's old. As you can plainly see, it hasn't been updated since December of 2008. Facebook was new. So was Twilight. That was a while ago. It' OLD!!! Please check out my new blog at www.pattibrownblog.com instead. Hope to see you there!*****
OMGosh.

There is a really terrible reason you haven't been hearing from me much lately....and the reason is called Facebook.

Here's how it all went down.

MY BFF-Virginia started talking about how she had joined a couple of weeks ago, how much fun it was, and how I should join. I sort of scoffed it off, and an interesting conversation followed. Summary of my side:

"I don't know...those myspace things just seem sort of weird and juvenile to me..."

(followed shortly thereafter by)

"No, my obsession with Twilight is NOT juvenile in the same way AT ALL!"

(followed yet again by)

"I'm just too reserved. It seems like online dating or something to me....I'm just not the facebook type...."

(which of course led to)

"Well, I don't know exactly what I mean by "the facebook type" .... put it this way, my friend Elizabeth (names changed to protect the innocent)would understand....I guarantee you she is NOT on facebook."

(30 seconds later)

"Seriously, she is? Well, my friend Sarah is not on facebook. No-way, no-how. And she would totally and completely get my point..."

(5 seconds later)

"Really? Wow. Okay, well I promise you that Bethany is ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY NOT on facebook. There is no way. In fact, if she is on facebook....then I'll join it tonight...even though I am NOT joining, because she is NOT on there....I just know she's not."

...sooo, two weeks later, I cannot tell you how much fun it has been "seeing" old high school friends, college friends, and workmates I've lost touch with. You know those people you always wondered about? The ones who you remember fondly, and always hped their lives turned out great? Well, they're on facebook. I know this because I am officially the last person in the world to join.

Sooo, feel free to friend me? It's SOOO much fun. And I promise to add some pictures soon. I have uploaditis trying to get the new blog out before Christmas, so I'll do my best.

In the meantime, y'all have a terrific week! The new blog is literally HOURS (okay, maybe a lot of hours, but closer than last week) to being completed, so check back soon. It will be a whole new blog game! (couldn't resist.) - PB
