Confessions of an Infrequent Facebooker

Confession: I’m rarely on Facebook.

Rarely could be defined as maybe 4 times a year. Once a quarter – if you prefer.

I’ve signed up. I do want to be your friend.

I’ve never posted an album. I rarely throw sheep.

Half the time, I can’t even find my wall.

I finally updated my profile pic after 1.5 years because the baby in my arms is now a toddler.

This e-mail frequently appears in my inbox:

Picture 5

OK – since I’m confessing, here’s my Facebook pet peeve:

Friends who do not have their maiden name in their profile and have a photo of their baby for the profile pic. It’s the double combination, really.

If I don’t recognize your married name, then I can generally remember a person from their picture. But if the photo is of a precious child, then how in the world am I suppose to know that you’re the Jennifer from first grade?

Truth: I just popped on Facebook and saw that my dear friends Aaron & Karen are adopting Ella Ruth.

And Kristen gave me the best shout out ever.

So maybe I should find some Facebook time afterall.

  • You know I am going to have to ask you to my Facebook and if the answer is yes you want to be on it then send me a message and I will send you the name to look for and sorry… no photo of me :) If you don’t want to… that is ok… I won’t hold it against you :)
    Oh… I got an invite to go to a Lisa See book signing… she sent me the letter herself with the invite. I was beside myself :) Though she knew I lived to far away and will do one if I call the bookstore and get one put aside…
    Did you get to read ‘Snow Flower and the Secret Fan’ yet?

  • This made me laugh out loud because I too have problems with Facebook (I thought I was the only one!). I added a few pictures this week for the first time in months. It’s just too cluttered for me to enjoy looking at it–I get distracted and forget what I was reading. And the food fights…I do not understand at all??

  • Ginny

    please become a more frequent "facebooker"

  • Stacy

    totally understandable but we love to see what your up to and this seems to be the only thing I am consistant with.

  • Heather

    I can never put my maiden name up on Facebook while in England…Heather Mills is a joke around here. The Brits always side with Paul. I'm glad you know that I'm Blackwell…but you would have found me because the baby as your profile pic is also one of my pet peeves. As far as confessions go, I'm now a more infrequent blogger (and blog reader) because of Facebook…so be careful about getting sucked in. :)
