Contemplating Facebook

So last night I was considering joining Facebook.  Well….I’m still considering it.  Maybe I will join but, at the moment I’m putting it off by creating a blog instead.  Yesterday was the first time I actually looked at the Facebook website and I’m afraid I felt some of the on coming unease that always assails me when I meet someone from high school at the mall in the town my parents live in.  I feel like some how I’m supposed to have something to say to this person but, I find myself dismayed by the fact that I don’t.  That’s not true for all the people you meet that way…. sometimes it’s a revelation of all the things you want to tell this person, but it’s rare and I don’t know if I want to voluntarily experience all the other unfortunate meetings electronically via Facebook.  I don’t think I’m ready for it.  I haven’t been to a high school or college reunion yet.  I have yet to experience that particular excruciating experience.  And I think I’m going to choose to not relive that before I need to ….. I’ll see if this blog will help me communicate instead.

so… what was the order? Matt joined, then you contemplated? Or did you start contemplating, and then Matt jumped in with both feet like he does with anything techy and ‘oh so web 2.0′? :D (hee hee)

@lance: well, i wouldn’t say jump in with both feet as I am about say 4 years late to the facebook party (or bandwagon).
