Hold your cursor over the offending party’s name, and an Options link will pop up to the right. Click it, then click “Less about Offending Party.”

yeah, i was voicing my concern that maybe some of the bullies would friend me next to ben, and he said, “so don’t approve the friend request.”

which sounds simple and logical, but then, if i do that, i worry about coming across as a crybaby whinypants who carries grudges.

but then, if i don’t like these people to begin with, i shouldn’t care how i come across to them.

sigh. it’s so weird…it’s like, i always thought it’d be cool to get all the people i ever knew in a room together and have a big party. turns out, not as cool as i’d always thought it’d be…

yep. i’m with ya, babe. i’ve had the same misgivings over my FB roster, especially when the girl i lovingly refer to as my “ex-best-friend” — aka the girl who stole my first love, dated him for two weeks and dumped him — friended me. there’s a reason i haven’t spoken to her since 1997, and yet, there she is on my friends list.

i waffled on whether to confirm her for a while, but finally did. my reasoning was that maybe in the ensuing 12 years, she’s grown up some, and i didn’t want to be the kind of person who judges someone forever on their 17-year-old behavior. i mean, god in heaven — what if y’all held my high school / college years against me? i’d never have a friend again! O.o i’m just thankful you people still talk to me after some of that stuff.

yennyway, yeah. facebook. with the friending and the wall-talk and the people coming out of the woodwork. >.>

i won’t name specific names, but he is the eldest progeny of the man who owns the vast majority of our hometown.

i always thought his younger siblings were way nicer. ^^

I’m a little obsessed with Facebook. Especially the Scrabble part.

Oh, who am I kidding? I love the whole blasted thing.

meh facebook is face book, i’ve had it since i dunno august maybe? and the only reason i started it was to keep up with coworkers i miss from the library… it has evolved since then as folks “discover” you on the network. but i wouldn’t really call it the hawtness, if anything it’s another thing i check periodically and you shouldn’t feel like you have to do anything. i’d rather read blog posts anyway . it’s just another internet thing out there to get addicted to. I like that i can see friends and family on there and get a quick update sometimes, but that’s not a whole lot to it other than information, photos… kind of like an online address book.

meh. as i said to my mom last night, facebook is at its core little more than a contact list with pictures and comments. and with email alerts that tell you every time somebody says something to you, you don’t have to spend of lot of time keeping up with it.

i never look at fb unless i get an alert that i should. i figure it puts me in touch with people that i wouldn’t otherwise have on my radar (high school classmates/teachers, for example), but if somebody actually wants to talk to me, they’ll shoot me an email and we’ll chat like civilized people. my account exists pretty much just so i can see the pictures our fb-usin’ friends post.

i can’t speak to that lonely place, although i remember how hard it was to watch you walk that journey, and how much you struggled with it. but at least mr. haggard doesn’t seem to have gone the “pray the gay away” route…maybe he just needs time to come to self-realization and peace outside of the trauma of being so publicly and brutally outed.
