Apparently I signed up for Facebook on Oct 22, 07. I didn’t even know what it was. I thought Annie was just sending me pictures and I was trying to view them. I finally signed in and realized there was one. I was like, well that was a waste of my time. So my Dad calls me a couple of weeks ago and says he’s into Facebook. My dad? Seriously? Cool beans. I go on to check it out because really, I think it’s pretty funny my dad’s into Facebook.
Apparently when I made the account, since I didn’t know what it was, I called myself Maria Diane. No Albright, no Rushing, not even Märia. Just Maria Diane, I was like, hmmm, I should probably change that. As far as I can tell 20 minutes later, it is not possible.
It’s craziness how many people are on this thing though. Unfortunately, it’s not that great of a tool for spying on people. All you get to see is a 1/4“ square picture of them, you have to send like an invitation for friendship and then they have to accept it. And well that would defeat the purpose of spying wouldn’t it. I couldn’t even spy on Jason properly. Oh BTW, I did get your message, but well calling people or returning phone calls has not been my strong point recently. A lot of times I think ”Oh, I should call such and such….oh look at the laundry….and the dishes…oh and this book looks totally great…oh, wait all of that is on hold, Seporah and Felicity are writing on the walls with mud.“ See that’s why Facebook should let me spy.
Or you know what would be even better, everyone should have a blog. I love blogs. They’re flippin’ awesome. I love reading about Sarah making a couch or Suzanne’s obsession with Lost or looking at Lynda’s pictures that are infinitely superior to mine. So yeah, everyone ditch Facebook and join Blogger.

You can change your name on Facebook. I originally signed up as Penelope Burpup because I wasn’t sure if I wanted to really use it. So yep, you can change it. I’ve mostly used it to get in touch with old friends from High School and College. I agree, your blog is awesome. Many people have their blog addresses listed on facebook, once again the dilemma you must be friends with them to get that info.

Go blogs! I think blogs are great. I like spying on people too. Unfortunately, then sometimes you get people from San Francisco looking at your blog when you know you don’t know anyone in San Francisco. (Did you ever find out who that was anyway?) I don’t think I’ll ever make my blog private because I figure if someone wants to spy on me it’s all good, ‘cuz I like to spy on other people. =)
I’ve warmed a little to facebook…but blogging will always be number one! (BTW, I like reading about your Twilight obsession too. I can’t wait ’til it finally comes on DVD. I would have seen it in the theaters but I don’t like to get babysitters. Loved the books though, even Jared read them and liked them).

Still no clue who lives in San Francisco, but it’s all good cuz like you said I spy on other people too. Oh and BTW, I’ve seen the movie 7 times now. I go to the late late shows after I put the girls to bed, then I don’t feel bad about just ditching my husband.

I agree, much better to spy on blogs. By the way, I’m on facebook, but don’t know how to do it. I’ll accept you as my friend, but you might not get much information about us there. I don’t really understand how it works.

I have onlky seen Twilight four times; your mom twice but I had to drag her there the second time. Looking forward to the DVD as well, and of course the second installation, which also starts Dakota Fanningas theat little Italian vamp with special powers. I like your BLOG a lot more than Facebook, too. Remember your dad is not that much into it just accepted a friends invitation, too.
Love you, Dad
