Weird Facebook thoughts:
I occasionally receive friend requests from people I knew in junior high. I had a miserable junior high experience. I was picked on and felt lost in so many ways. It was a huge struggle for me. I chose to attend a high school across town to get away and start fresh. Some of the people requesting to be my friend NOW I would not have considered as my friend THEN. I have not accepted those friend requests. No thank you.
I discovered some of my friends are friends with other friends and I never knew they were connected! That's pretty cool and a little strange.
I am enjoying finding my old students. They are so grown up now. My first 4th graders from 1990-91 are turning 30 this year. Yes, Jen, this means I could have been your 4th grade teacher! I was so young, really, they shouldn't let 12 year olds teach 4th grade. Oh wait, I meant to say 21 year olds. Ok, 21 year olds CAN teach 4th grade, but they're still young, and so was I.
I found a friend from high school who buried both of his parents about 30 feet from my parents. I saw his dad's headstone first, years ago and didn't know if it was the same family, but it was. How strange is that?
Some of my friends have become crazy, and I mean crazy freaky weird people. They write about things that make me think they are not all there. Hmmm...
No former boyfriends on my friend list. What does that say? I'm not sure, something to ponder. (Marc wouldn't care either way, and I feel the same about him and old girlfriends)
The younger the friend the less they post. I think that's hysterical, it really is for stay-at-home-moms and retired people and bored people with iPhones.
Do you have any strange Facebook thoughts or observations?

My mom finally signed up for Facebook and somehow she asked everyone in her e-mail address book to be her friend so she was freaking out that she was bothering my friends who somehow she friended. I just think it's funny to hear her freak out about not knowing what's going on. That reminds me, I'm supposed to go friend my uncle...
I so was in 5th grade in 90-91. That's crazy. I just can't believe I'm turning 30 this year. I look at you and totally think 40 will be great but it weirds me out to think I'll be 30. It's weird.
I have such mixed feelings about facebook. I have an account, but I never update my status. I rarely comment on other people's walls. I think people share WAY too much information when they update their status. I think updating your status is just another way to brag or showoff. I'm very picky about who I am friends with. I don't want to be friends with just ANYONE. I'm not friends with any former boyfriends. Some have tried to befriend me but I think it can lead to trouble. (I've heard countless stories about people hooking up with old flames, regardless of being married!) I never go "online" to talk to people, no time, and if I really wanted to talk to someone I would probably email them or call them. Regardless of all these feelings I CAN'T bring myself to get rid of my account!!!! So stupid. I hate Facebook but I'm somehow, weirdly addicted to it. It's like watching a car wreck, I get so embarrassed with what people post or say, or get annoyed with people's arrogance but I can't stop looking at it!!!!! Ahhhhh!!!!!
I would much rather blog.
