Kissy Face

This morning I heard a radio tech, Leo Laport, mention facebook. He said, "if facebook was a country, population wise, it would be the 4th largest country in the world!" I love that tidbit. I love it as much as I love facebook.
One of my friends wrote in her status that she disagrees with the CNN article today about 12 annoying facebook types. She likes everyones' free speech on facebook, and wants to know what her friends are interested in and what they are doing. Perhaps she thinks it's a blessing. I do. If I find someone too negative, I just remove them from my feed. It's quick and easy and private.
I have to admit, it hurts my feelings when someone removes me as their friend, or, they never accept my request. But, fortunately I am mature, so I get over it quickly.
Why do I love facebook so much? Because I have gotten lots of my cousins on board and can see how they are at a glance. I can comment on their pictures. I can laugh or cry at their situations. It's a nice way to connect.
The other day a cousin mentioned she couldn't find a particular school item. She called it an urban myth. She made me laugh. It dawned on me that I tried to find the same item when our sonny boy was in high school. I told her where I finally located it. I felt helpful.
I actually don't partake of the quizzes. But I read the results of my friends. I think we all know what kind of personalities we have. It reminds me of someone I met who read palms. He said I stopped doing it when I realized I was telling people what they already knew about their lives.
I did really enjoy the 25 random things about me. It's all about me! haha. I liked the clever things people wrote. I learned that one of my friends loves Tetris as much as I do. And when I said I won money on Password years ago, the same friend got a nostalgic hit because she used to watch the show with her grandmother years ago.
I've posted videos of friends and family, and a commercial of my long lost Mom and my recently passed step Dad. Now that was cool. For that split moment they are alive and healthy and smiling to the camera.
Lots of my friends and family play all the games like Scrabble, Scramble, Lexulous. I could add that to my agenda. I've seen people network for jobs or rides or tickets to concerts.
I think facebook is a lovefest.
