Riggins77 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Well, like myspace, facebook really wasn't in my world. I thought it was stupid, just another dumbass reason to chat on the internet. Recently, a close friend of mine moved to Alaska, well, I never get to talk to them anymore and they got me to make a facebook account. I made a fake name, for ****s and giggles and after I got on there, I see the reason why people cling to it. Knowing what your friends/former friends and enemys are doing is interesting. To a certain degree. I found myself searching for some high school friends and finding some. Then I would search their friends lists and see people that I knew. I then ran into a profile for my very first girlfriend, the same girl I had my very first kiss with. Anyhow, she eventually dumped me, but we remained friends. She in fact was part of the reason I met my wife today and have a beutiful baby girl. She ended up being friends with my wife and putting a good word in for me, thus my wife going out with me. Crazy story, but if it wasn't for her, I'd probably not be with my wife and have my beautiful 16 month old baby girl right now. So, on facebook I thanked her, anyone got any weird stories like this?

Toe Jam Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 There is a reason Facebook has destroyed MySpace: it's actually a useful tool for finding and keeping in touch with people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EersSkins05 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 There is a reason Facebook has destroyed MySpace: it's actually a useful tool for finding and keeping in touch with people. Totally agree. I fought it for years and years b/c it seemed like a waste to have a myspace and facebook account. I signed up about a month or so ago and it's addictive as hell.

PCS Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Being that I just signed up not that long ago,(yeah yeah. I finally broke down and got on there),I'll wait a bit before passing judgment. So far so good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickalino Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 There is a reason Facebook has destroyed MySpace: it's actually a useful tool for finding and keeping in touch with people. because Facebook forces you to use your real name, while you're allowed to use fake names on Myspace, like SuperSexyDivaToeJam, making it harder for old friends to find you on myspace.

Not to burst your bubble, but it allowed me to go with Rod Johnson as my name.......ala, Beavis and Butthead lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tastes Like Chicken Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I linked up with my best friend from the first grade. I still have a vase that the class made for my Mom (she was the assistant that year). His signature is on it. We remembered each other, but hadn't communicated in 30 years. I've only been on it for a few weeks, but I'm hooked. One warning. Remember all the hot chicks from high school that you wanted? You will be in for a rude awakening lol.

Old Dominion Monarch 06 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 My stance is that if a relationship isn't worth maintaining on a personal basis it isn't worth maintaining at all. I don't belong to any of these sites, I know who my real friends are and I talk to them quite often. I don't really care what anyone else is doing.

zoony Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 there really are several people from my past that i'd rather just never talk to. My thoughts too. I have kept in touch with my good friends that I've had since high school, thru college, etc. I guess there are a few I've lost touch with, but they're the kind of guys that would find facebook extraordinarily douchy. Trust me. For the most part though, I have absolutely no desire to reunite with people from high school. Christ, who wants to relive that? .....
