Being on Facebook is like watching high school reruns on occasions. I have been faced with the all to astounding notion that, unfortunately, immaturity does not improve with age for some people. I have watched people friend others that were just absolutely cruel to them in high school, and wonder what on EARTH would that person have to say to the other all these years later? I have watched as one person totally wrote off another friend that they had for 20 years because they did not like the person they were going to marry. ASTOUNDING? Really, friendship is that superficial? I have watched people who barely know each other form friendships that are more meaningful then ones that they have had for years, and watched others drift away silently. Facebook really is quite a place to people watch. It would probably make quite a thesis for someone somewhere I would imagine. I am probably missing the boat on this one? AH well, if you do, send me my kudos where due thank you.

I've been amazed by the number of people from my past who want to connect with me because of a past affiliation. Mostly because Facebook suggests the connections, I'm sure. But folks that I never said more than "can you hand me my pencil? It's by your foot" want to be my Facebook friend.
Not to confuse "amazed" with "annoyed". I'm definitely not bothered by it, in fact it is nice to have the option to "friend" them or not. Who knows, after all these years there might be enough in common for a friendship.
