It really is hard to know what to write about sometimes, so here goes about something that’s on my mind. As you all know by now, I ♥ Facebook. I am up to about 196 ‘friends’, many who I know. I haven’t officially broken down how I know who, but about 92 (at least) went to high school with me! I graduated with about 486, about 10 are deceased, so that is close to one fifth of my class-and I graduated 32 years ago. Of those ’92’, I’ve seen about 8 of them in the last few months. Many still live in the area, but many don’t . It’s just fun to talk to people I once shared a classroom with who I’d never thought I’d talk to again. And I have to say what a varied class! Many love sailing-I found a common thread there. Many have been to so many exotic areas for vacation.
So who are the other 100 or so? I think the next breakdown is definitely cross stitch pals. Many I met through blogging, so they are blogging pals too. There are those who I know just from blogging and a group called Tribe. And then I have people I meant through the Flickr photography site.
I have four ‘celebs’-one I went to school with who is a director and Emmy winner-Todd*Robinson. Jennifer*Hutt has a radio and tv show with Alexis*Stewart called ‘What*ever’. Charlotte*Lyons is a crafter and writer and works with Mary*Engelbreit. Rory*Schepisi was a finalist on ‘The Next*Food Network* Star’ on the Food*Network.
So that’s why I love Facebook-so many connections, so many interesting people-all in one place!

I am still rather new to Facebook, and use it as an all-purpose networking tool. As someone used to keeping the many aspects of my life separate it has been difficult for me to feel comfortable melding all my different contacts into one generic place. I suppose I shall get used to it in time. And it has allowed some old school friends to find me, so that is a plus. 🙂
