Hi, my name is Angi and I'm a facebook addict

Ok, I admit it. I really, really love facebook. Really. I check facebook a few times a day. Oh wait, several times a day. Ok, who am I kidding. I am on facebook pretty much all day. Well, it's on my computer all day and I hit the refresh button every 20 mins or so. It's funny the reaction you get from people when they find out you "facebook". "Really?" someone asked the other day..."why?" Hmm. Good question. Well, I've reconnected with so many people I've lost contact with over the years. "why do you care what the who sat next to you in 7th grade English is doing today?" I don't know. Maybe I hope to find that maybe I'm not as crazy as someone else out there. The truth is that I really don't care what that girl is up to. It's hard to say no to friend requests. If I know them, I'll add them. Lame huh? It's a metaphor for my life. On facebook I have friends. 152 to be exact. Someone wants to be my friend. Ahh...give me a sense of worth! Not really but hey, I really have connected with people I've always wondered about. Like my first "real" boyfriend. The one I thought was "the one". The one I almost flunked out of 10th grade just so I could spend every minute I could with. Yep, no regrets there. I found that I can send Rach a message almost anytime of the day and I get an immediate response. Karissa too. I probably talk to them more than ever now and now that Karissa is no longer in Utah, I'm sure that this will be the only way we communicate!! I found Chris! The boy who grew up next door to me and was my BEST friend. I loved him and cried when he got married. We always joked that if we weren't married by 26 we'd marry each other. Neither of us even made it to 20! I get to keep in touch with my aunt Darcee who I normally only see at Christmas. I also get to keep tabs on my little brothers and neices and nephews who think I'm cool because I'm on facebook! (you know you do!) I get an insight into their lives that I don't get seeing them at family functions. I guess it's all this and more that keeps me coming back. It really sounds lame that I could be so comsumed by something so...so...trite. But...it keeps me coming back for more. If you ever want to find me...try facebook. I'm sure I'll be there! In fact, I'm going there now...
