Rude Awakening #8576: I am not cool.

About six months ago, my uncle sent me an invitation to join Facebook. Of course I’ve heard of Facebook…NPR did a story on it a year or so ago when it’s creators sold it ~or were talking about selling it.

And then, two days ago, an old friend emailed, and in her closing wrote: “Oh, give me your BLOG ADDRESS!!!” OK. At least I have a blog address, but I don’t write in it enough to let other people know about it!

And to top it all off…yesterday, I received an invitation from a friend to join Facebook. Remembering my uncle’s neglected request, I registered, found my friend, sent her a quick message, and looked for my uncle. No luck.

This morning I checked my email before hopping into the shower and had a reply from the message I sent my friend on Facebook. I got in the shower thinking, “I am so uncool. I don’t have a MySpace account, I just registered with Facebook, and my blog is pitiful.”

So, tonight, I updated my web site, and I’m writing this blog entry about how skimpy my blog is.
