Found Her

Day 3 of 5...I'm on track so far! This, by the way, was my inspiration for catching up. I found Susan. In all honesty, she found me. For all the cyber-bullying, child-stalking and pornographic nonsence that is perpetuated on Facebook and MySpace, I will tell you this: These sites have made me a better person. Ok, that was too extreme. They have allowed me to be more like the person I want to be.

I've said it before. I want to be a good friend. I just get really lazy. These sites keep me in contact with my friends through status updates, birthday reminders, and just little notes(comments) here and there about what is going on. Very few people have the time to do 16 phone calls (or even emails) a week to say, "I'm feeling mopey." But through the wonders of social networking I can share that with people I know and they can respond as they are able. No pressure, no guilt.

So, Susan, thanks for adding me as your friend. This is how excited that made me--I've already told everyone I've been in contact with since Wednesday (including my students) how excited I am to know you again. Cheesy? Well, you already knew that about me.
