the facebook game
2 things are amusing me these days:
1) getting friend requests from people whose names vaguely ring a bell, but you can't really place them.
2) being asked what I've been up to since graduating college eight years ago.
Let's see, where to begin? I always try to lighten the mood with the "traveled the country as a labor union organizer" line before diving into "and now I'm a cancer survivor!" Of course, then I have to add the caveat: and "it had nothing to do with my former life as a smoker," since one of the primary things I was known for in college was puffin on cancer sticks.
Maybe it's because facebook has better tools for finding people you forgot you knew - like the "you probably know these people" feature in the sidebar. Of all the networking sites I've been on, more people have crawled out of the woodwork on facebook than on any other app. Still highly unclear why the site makes a million dollars a week in ad sales...
good times. If you know a way to make my 90% vocal scores in Rock Band translate into a r/l social life, drop me a line: socialupheaval(at)gmail(dot)com
