So i had a post all lined up. But of course me being me… always chaning my mind, i have decided to talk about something else.
Ok this weeks talk till be based on facebook. not exactly facebook, but on who you can meet on the site.
I got a facebook sometime last year just to see what it was like. But myself being such a myspace queen it was regularly ignored. In which i did the same thing a few years back… being a MSN spaces queen i once thought myspace had sucked as well. I guess those are the loops of life.
However since logging into facebook, it has since become a very popular reunion.
I think this site is truly amazing!!! Of course i have my regular friends on there from high school, as well as other friends I have met since High School and the few friends from high school that i have not heard from since leaving. But i have also found friends from back in the days when I was 6 years old… my old JNR primary school, my primary schools and even my high school (when i left Birdwood and moved interstate for a term).
It’s so exhilarating to see how my friends have changed over the years. I love to look at their pictures and think oh my gosh how much has she changed or wow she hasn’t changed very much at all. Of course some of these people I have not seen since I was 8 years old. some i haven’t seen since I was 12. so it all varies. whether or not I was best friends with them or just friends with them. It’s so good to know everything is going well in their lives.
take this example (on how years change) -
one of the boys I went to High school with (up in darwin) he was what can i say… a drug user. very nice boy, but was always in alot of trouble and alot of people thought he didn’t have much of a chance out in the big big world. yet he finds me on facebook and i find him to be now a driver of a green jet down in sydney.
who would have known really.
Facebook is really a reunion place where you can also play games against your friends, send your friends gifts and drinks. a really odd odd place but what I’m finding to be really really good. Trying to find some people though can be mission impossible as some may have moved or not gone to the high school in which you thought they may have gone to, or it’s very well possible that they may not even have a facebook yet, but c’mon Rhi has a facebook which means everyone else should have one by now.
Of course you can also join groups. which i don’t find relevant yet i still join. such groups as – “Torrens Valley Lions (appreciation page)”, “Bring Garth Down Under”. Of course these are the ones I will add, as well as some in which are completely irrelevant – “Vegemite belongs in the cupboard not the fridge “, “ABBY with a Y”, “No, i don’t care if I die at 12AM, i refuse to pass on your chain letter.”. There are also alot of support fan clubs… The Outer army in particular has one, port Adelaide has them, there are even ones to say how much you hate the crows. Of course there are the plain funny ones where you appreciate a guy you know or even a appreciate a guy you know and vote he’s the hottest on facebook. I have not yet found a guy with one of those in which i add.
so i really wonder why alot of my friends have facebook. I know Matt has one simply because he can play games in which he finds as “fun”. I first added mine coz it was apparently cool, and now i have fun trying to find old friends. I guess some people would have one due to an overload of invitations.
So I’m going to go now, to try and find some other people I may know!
stay tuned for another fun fun post by me some time in the future

I know what you mean, I’m completely hooked on facebook. Nothing happens in my life without being registered there. It continously updates with everything I’m up to. And I love to see that some of my friends are the same as obsessed.
The group I started uni with has graduated. I didn’t because of my personal problems, you know. But facebook is the only way I’ve been able to keep on touch with them. They post from their little towns were they’re working. They show pictures we all can see and laugh at.
I ran over all kinds of old friends. People I haven’t seen in 10 years.
It’s funny to realize that the one that has changed the most among us, is me. I like that feeling. I like growing up and get into different things each day.
I keep everyone within reach, anyone I need to talk to, I can contact there.
I am just waiting for some other people to join facebook.
“but c’mon Rhi has a facebook which means everyone else should have one by now.”
I know what you mean. Everyone should.
