Daily affirmations of a word mercenary
Sure, I’ve enjoyed Facebook in the past. But it wasn’t until today, when I was catching up on a gossip session with my best friend from high school, that I TRULY appreciated the stalking power of Facebook. It was so awesome to have an illustrated gossip guide right there in front of us — oh, what’s HE doing, we’d say. And then read, Oh, mmhmm. I seeeee. Best/worst moment: illustrating which hottie had fallen the hardest since high school. The tragedy was almost tangible.

I’m apparently too old to benefit that much from the stalking power of Facebook - out of a high school graduating class of about 850, there’s a mere 24 of us on there who’ve chosen to include their high school info (maybe there are some more who haven’t). I did just add a couple old school friends, and discover that my most serious high school crush is also on Facebook, but there are still many more people that I wonder about and can’t find that way.
