Brammers: Oh god, apparently five of my friends have invited me to be on Facebook.

Brammers' young friend: OMIGOD! I can't believe you're not on Facebook! You should totally be there!

B: I'm old, dear, the first number in my age is a four.

BYF: You're NOT old. And besides, my mum is in her forties and she's on Facebook.

B: I'm old and I have no children I need to stalk on Facebook. Also, I'll just be over there having a little cry for the next few minutes ...



Back to the work, editing and writing. Slowly catching up!

The first number in my age is a four too and I have a Facebook account. I believe it got started when a friend invited me and I needed to join to see some photos she had. Then my sisters (both with ages that start with threes) found my account and "friended" me and started sending me all sorts of silly games which I ignored. During Thanksgiving at our dad's, my youngest sister started complaining I have no photos or pretty much anything at all in my profile and demanded my password. She then put this whole profile in. She also pretty much "friended" our whole family to this account. Apparently, I was the only one in our generation (of which I am one of the eldest) not adequately connected. Later, multitudes of people I've known have found me through this account. I kinda passively use it. I don't contact others through it but they seem to contact me. I get invitations to cousins' baby showers through it.

I have so little time, my theory is that when my friends realise I've not responded to facebook invites for a while, they'll ring or email me ;-)

I think that facebook is designed for people exactly unlike me: I hate having my photo taken, would rather write something long than short, and like to be able to hide when I want to ;-)
