A Nosey Gene

May 18, 2010

in Works For Me Wednesday

Y’all know I was born with a nosey gene or ten.

Not sure why I was blessed with one, but I was.

Perhaps that’s why Facebook appeals to me.

The stinkin’ status updates keep bringing me back for more.

Where else could I find out that a friend ordered a new computer, or that my friend Becky needs a nap before watching Lost, or that my neighbor is getting a new kitchen floor, or that another friend wastes her time begging for supplies for her stupid imaginary farm, or that my ex just ate an awesome slow roasted turkey sandwich.

I mean, seriously.

Just today, I discovered that my bloggy buddy had a successful first day of potty training, a junior high school friend had a first date with her hubby 19 years ago on THIS DAY, another friend is at a Padres game, and Stevie’s 1st grade teacher just posted that they’d be doubling classes up tomorrow due to flooding.

Facebook is a great way to nose in people’s business stay connected.

And THAT works for me!

So true! I love feeling like I’m getting the chance to reconnect with old friends especially a little at a time.

I learned of this blog through FB (Becky told me :) ) and I guess I should say…

My name is Kelli and I’m a Facebook addict.

(There. Now I feel better. :) )

The best thing I found about Facebook was that I was able to locate a friend from high school whom I had not seen in 35 years! She was one of my favorite people, but we had lost contact. She lives far away, but now we are in ‘e-mail touch’ with each other.
All those farms, horoscopes and things, imho, are silly. Then again, I’m addicted to computer games that waste my time, so I shouldn’t talk about cyber farming, LOL!

Here’s another reason to add to my list of why I should get a Facebook page. Maybe I’ll actually do it this week!

You’ve just given me another reason to add to the “Why I should get a Facebook page” list. Maybe I’ll actually do something about it this week!

I’m still not convinced that I want to spend my time on facebook. I spend so much time on the computer already, I hate to add one more thing. It would be nice to know where some people are though!

I like FB; however, I tend to stay on too long – and it’s most usually late at night. So, I try not to go on every day (night).

I’m blessed with the nosey too!
I LOVE Facebook!
It has reconnected me with so many special “old” friends and new ones!
