F is for "Facebook"

i wonder how many other people are doing facebook for "F" today?

facebook, or should i say "crackbook" is an online social network that allows people from all over the world to ...well, socialize! you can play games, chat, share your accomplishments, struggles, and even your recipes.

facebook is a crazy place. we laugh together, cry, fight, and omg the DRAMA!!! :0 i only spent the last year and a half of my high school years in an actual public school, but i imagine that this is what it would have been like.

to me facebook has been a blessing and a curse :/

for many reasons, i do not interact with a lot of people in a way that most would call "normal".

i count myself among the fortunate to have real life friends and family that i do spend time with but unfortunately, my emotional instability makes it difficult for me to spend lots of time out in public.

imagine how embarrassing it would be to be out buying something as simple as sheets and start bawling uncontrollably in Bed Bath & Beyond or to be at Home Depot trying to buy a screw to fix the damn cabinet handle in your bathroom and become so overwhelmed by the choices that you have a panic attack and have to go sit in your car for an hour. that is my life.

although most people who have gotten to know me through facebook would not know it, i am also painfully shy. i have a hard time expressing my thoughts verbally and so sometimes you will gets moments of insightful conversation and others it will be verbal tourrete's about my penis! lol :P

facebook gives me the opportunity to "be with" people, share, have fun, and be social without the stress of having them know that even though at the time i am typing something humorous or smart ass, in actuality i may be sitting there sobbing my darn fool head off.

i've met a lot of people from all over the world and all walks of life through facebook. made friends, lost friends, fell in and out of love....

almost like real life.
