relatives Sunday January 2

one fateful day in late april, i was working on a final paper for a class when leslie messaged me telling me to join the facebook. i had initially avoided friendster, and the only reason i got on friendster in the first place was to test to see how long it would take friends to find me. friendster was merely a gateway drug to facebook.

the facebook is cool because it is grouped by school, so you can see people in your major, in your classes, or who share similar interests. however, it can also be very stalker-friendly, and you have to watch just how much information you put out there about yourself. i have a problem with this, because as i say, i am an open book.

at tara's suggestion, i searched for other people with my last name; i was shocked when i found another one. by the name of michelle.

so i sent her a message, and we've gone back and forth until i figured out that she is my third cousin. small world, right? at least, facebook makes it one... the internet.
