I'm addicted to Facebook
I can't get enough of it. I have found friends from 25 years ago. And no-one has changed at all.

so many stupid little gimmicks like "send a pie" or "somebody stepped on your foot" ...here's a list of crap it wants me to deal with:

• 1 friend suggestion
• 2 friend requests
• 1 group invitation
• 1 pillow fight request
• 5 good karma from laur requests
• 1 good karma from andr request
• 10 good karma requests
• 1 what will your last request
• 1 knighthood invitation
• 1 what were you born t invitation
• 1 heroes ability request
• 1 send sunshine to request
• 1 flower from zoe request
• 1 scramble word iq request

2. Ignore the gimmicks...
I tend to ignore about 90% of the application adds... and if you friend somebody and it's not who you think, you can just unfriend them :) It's a nice way to keep up with people from a lot of different parts of my life, all in one place... school friends, family, people from work, other message boards, etc. :)

Ya know, just to play devil's advocate and all... :hi: :D

6. Yeah... I didn't bother looking for most of the people I knew in high school...
'cause I'm pretty sure they haven't changed at all. :P
