im actually quite surprised at my facebook obsessions.
i took a while as i mentioned before to get over to it i had a myspace acount and saw ppls obsession with added ppl and it seamed like a race/competition to collect as many friends as you could. i couldn't see the point and only wanted ppl that i wanted to talk to. Adrian then converted me to facebook and i left myspace behind as same with my non need to add, i now have 74 friends on fb.
i originally just wanted to have family and friends a way to keep intouch with those i dont see regularly, and see what old school friends were up to. like i mentioned before im more a stalker then an adder, ill see what ppl are up to via their fbs but are too scared to add them. recently though i have gone a bit crazy and added quite a few. many of them i have never met! well i the flesh that is.
it all started with one person.
while on fb one Saturday i searched to see if fb had a chat application and what a suprise they do so i add it. i go into the Aussie room and there is 3 ppl in there Suzy, Michael, and Ben. suzy was leaving so it was just the 3 of us and chatted about footy i was watching the swans play.
the next day being the chat junky that i am. i go in again and there is just Michael there. he asks me if i am addicted to the net and do i live on fb i say yeah i do/am. is he since the reason he is asking as i have seen him twice now in here. he says he is the same.
i quickly become a regular in the room and meet Linda, Krystle and Lucian.
i wanted to add them all as fb friends but was a little nervous about i didnt know u do this. then Linda and Suzy add me then so does Krystle. i add Michael and Lucian they accept
so now im added ppl off the chat room, Adrian thinks im weird. i refer to them as my non flesh friends. i then add Luke and Ashlee 2 more i see all the time
i now only add if i see and talk to them more then 1 time preferably 3 min since i have a bout 5 i dont chat to and never see them in the room.
but now most days i speak to Michael, Lucian, Suzy, Krystle and Ashlee.
and now i have added 4 more ppl i found on the lymphoma group page who are fellow HL survivours/current patients which is soo good to speak to some one else.
i read in my aunty's blog that the internet of old was for her a way to meet new ppl, and although fb is set up as a networking site u rearly form friendships with ppl u meet randomly on there. and she has mostly friends and family on fb. where im the other way around the most ppl i speak to on fb are the ppl i have met on fb. i do enjoy speaking to them all, and id probably would meet them if i was near them, well the girls i am near we could organise a night out but i need to be cancer free before i head out to a night in the city.
