right., er
I had been resisting creating an account because, in main, I didn't want to contemplate the people from high school winding up in touch with me.

So yesterday I went 'fine fuck it' and made an account.

And a bit of very shallow digging produced one of the people I liked a hell of a lot from high school. Who's in touch with someone I knew from elementary school on... and who I was used to thinking of as 'the kind of chubby young woman with the cokebottle glasses'.
Who, nowadays?

      She really has aged beautifully. I give her many points- because I'm sure there were some deliberate decisions involved.
      And they obviously paid off.

      Really? Given that random people I haven't spoken to in years found me, I'd think you should be able...

      TM are the initials involved. alternately, this should point you at my profile...

    Eeeek. I have exes from high school trying to "hook up" with me on Facebook. Gah.

      Oh yeah, I was scoping out one of the jocks earlier.
      Let's not say anything definitive about that, since this post isn't locked to friends-only.

      He has, however, aged well.

        LOL the cheerleader that ripped on me in HS is now twice my weight and apparently has 3 kids with assorted fathers.

      Time makes fools of us all.

      And some folks, fortunately more amusingly foolish than ourselves.

        Yeah, I finished high school 2 years early, shot up from 5'0 to 5'8" the following summer, then once I turned 18, shot up to 6'0" and went from an A cup to a D cup. And joined the Army.

          browsing my LJ- damn, woman, you're 6'0"? well, you're gorgeous for a tall woman in addition to being gorgeous for a not-tall woman.

    Late bloomers FTW.

    Facebook is generally fairly useless, except that I have a few valued folks who only update there, and I have a few timewaster games there I like to play. In my case, my Facebook status = my Twitter feed (speaking of timewasters). Also, got back in touch with one or two old friends that way, and have so far successfully avoided the horrors.

    Also, I don't use the damn Facebook chat, which I suspect to be 90% of the source of all Facebook drama.

      And she bloomed wonderfully, didn't she? I am very happy for her.

      I doubt I'll bother with facebook too terribly much other than the timewaster games, truth be told.

        Communication-wise from a networking angle, it's good for the short things.

        Many times I've passed on writing up a LiveJournal entry on "Thing X" when "Thing X" is just a new trailer for Imaginarium or something and I don't feel like writing a little review or something. FaceBook is good for "Here's a neat thing. Bam"

          This. I find that LJ has become a place for my more detailed thoughts and things which I'd like to keep more private. Facebook, for me, is mostly a place to share neat links and information about events. There's some bleed over between the two, but not a lot.

        I dislike real-time communication, honestly. E-mail for me. IM is preferable to phones if it's an unfamiliar voice as I have some hearing issues, but I also dislike being constantly interrupted by IMs, and I'm not always good at remembering to turn the client on/off and have ticked folks ioff in the past by not being available when they wanted.

    Yeah, but you also get the ones you don't want finding you.
    Case in point - Carolyn
    Case in point two - your twit of an ex-roommate just tried to add me.

    Have I told you my theory that the introduction of Facebook and Twitter represent the nascent stirrings of the universe's slowest hive mind?

    Welcome to the collective, I guess! :)
