FACEBOOK

Now I get it. Facebook can take over your life if you let it. So far I've got some measure of control, but once you start searching for people, then looking at their limited page and all their friends, and sometimes the search doesn't show your person, or shows someone that maybe could be your person but you don't even have one friend in common, but that might be normal because you haven't seen or spoken with them in years anyway, then you look at someone else's friends, and see the person you were searching for before, and it's the right person, and not the wrong one with no common friends, and then you click on their name and see all their friends, and the whole time you're asking yourself do I want to be friends with this person, because then their friends some of who I don't want to be friends with will see me when they look at that person's friends and what if they try to friend me? Even if I am sort of or actually their friend or relative in real life. I'm starting to get the difference between the wall and the news feed which is progress because yesterday it wasn't making sense. And it's really weird when on the right side you see pictures of people you've never heard of and Facebook is asking whether you want to friend them, and of course not you've never heard of them and the next day in the same spot is someone you do know who you would love to have as a friend especially if it's someone nice who you don't have time to be real life friends with although you want to everyone is too busy and you friend that person or send them a message but they might or might not friend you even if they respond to your message because they forgot to, but what if they don't want to in the first place. The best of all is the friends who are real life friends from far away places who you lost, but who found you because of Facebook and who you can correspond with and see pictures of and it's really great.
