Plus, you already joined facebook. The real issue is whether you should USE it.

Warning: random thoughts from Kenzle below

i totally agree with Josh- your blog is great (i’ve been following it since, well, you had your super old one when i was a freshperson in college, you know, prose & cons?) but we smallport residents need as many ways to to stay in contact with you – we miss you lots!

btw, didn’t i read somewhere that you were missing overhearing random statements from your crazy young friends and being part of that crazy world? i think fb might just be a way to stay connected to that crazy world.

even if fb does not out live us, wouldn’t it be great to take part in the joys of fb while it is still around? even former parachute pant wearing ppl would admit that though they are clearly not in fashion now, when they were groovy- they were amazing to wear & there is some part of them that lives on in the hearts of those who wore them? so, if fb does eventually get benched won’t we will still be remembering all those great times we had on fb when we are 80 something?

story time: so, i’m pretty sure it has been about a yr since i started making fun of my friends from college for loving Twilight (i know i scoffed at the thought of their infatuation (maybe that is a little harsh), er, their appreciation of Twilight). i thought, seriously? who wants to read a book (or watch a movie) about creepy vampires? isn’t that a little ridiculous ppl?
ha ha ha.
so, wanting to stay up with the culture – and well, chuck was running out of movies that i hadn’t yet seen – i finally watched twilight a few weeks ago & guess what? i really liked it despite the creepy vampire stuff. b/c of my i-despise-twilight-attitude i missed out on enjoying Twilight for an entire yr – but the thing is, i had no idea i was missing out until after i “gave in” and watched it, became a part of it! so, friend, maybe you should try fb out, test it, see if the glove fits, and then see if you want to join fb, b/c that is how you will REALLY know you were meant to join. maybe that is why you already have a fb pg or why you wrote this blog entry, who knows? but i do know that fb, though i was crazy opposed at first to it too, has often been a great tool, one that i think you would enjoy once you give it a try.

being active on fb allows you the privilege of seeing another angle of “the world beneath.”

plus, if you add me as a friend on fb, you will get to know when i have new youtube videos or when something crazy happens it also might eliminate the whole calling you super late b/c i forgot about the time difference deal

humm, i think this is enough random thoughts from me for now! but anyway, i miss you & i hope all is well!

p.s. here’s some advice from a special friend, “it isn’t real unless it’s on fb!”

I actually go back and forth. If you are really _that_ offended by fb then certainly you should not join. Or rather you should delete your account, since technically you have already joined. I’d delete the group and we’d be square. And I will never never never again tease happy fun editor.

I think you are missing out. Fb is so much more than keeping a blog and tweeting. It’s a way of connecting with events people are participating in or books they are reading, causes they care about. You don’t always get that from blogs. I personally enjoy the apps, but not everyone does (your brother really only uses Visual Bookshelf, surprising I know) and that’s ok. I third(?) the event option. It helps sooo much to be able to schedule events through fb. Evite is a pain in the butt and not everyone answers.

You have a lot of control over who sees what on your profile, your status, everything. You can also choose what you want to read in your newsfeed. And you invest as much time as you want. So, if you are sick of being on the computer, you glance at it and move on. If you’re like me, it’s a lifeline to others in similar parenting situations, advice and encouragement.

And farmville is awesome.

Now I want to call your dad and find out what he knows.
