The good, the bad and the ugly of Facebook

I FINALLY joined up on Facebook last night prompted by very good friend/Danish sister Marianne looking me up after a way too long separation.  Anyhow, we had a wonderful little chat online and I decided Facebook is the best thing EVAH!


I spent, oh, ALL NIGHT, on Facebook checking things out and found a group for my high school graduating class and I was able to find some old friends and catch up a little on what's been going on in their lives the last decade or so.


During the course of my Facebook wanderings I discovered two disturbing things: 


Thing the first:  There exists on Facebook a picture of me at a high school dance. A BAD picture of me at a high school dance.  I found said picture within two hours of joining facebook and I am pretty sure there are probably even worse pictures of me out there, quite possibly in various stages of drunkeness. 


Thing the second:  I lost my virginity to a gay man (yes, a DIFFERENT gay man than the one I married and divorced).  This discovery has ensured I will not be looking up any other ex's on Facebook lest I discover the depths of faghaggery to which I sunk during my teens and early 20's.

  3. Haven't been able to bring myself to join yet. The thought of people from my past looking me up kind of creeps me out. I figure they either want to sell me tupperware, insurance, or need a place to stay for General Conference.
