I'm addicted to Facebook.

I'm addicted to Facebook.

Ok, there, I've admitted it. I signed up for Facebook almost a month ago, but it wasn't until last week that I really got active updating my profile and having fun with it. I actually signed up and forgot about it until some friends found me on there and reminded me.

Well, what can I say? A week and a half later and I'm officially over MySpace (where I loved finding new bands to add to my friends list) and on Facebook all of the time. To send a cyber drink to a friend or throw a cow at someone (yes, really) I love or create lists of my favorite things. It's so much fun. So, if you are on Facebook and want to be friends, look me up and maybe I'll throw a cow at you. Or send you a fruity drink. If you aren't on there, what are you waiting for?

For some reason, I have had a ton of fun putting together my favorite books list and my Hot List. But what I've had the most fun with is signing up for groups. Not because I expect to meet people through them, but because it's fun to find topics I love or that I share with other people (you'll see what I mean below). I realized when I looked at my list last night that it was a big ol' meme, just in a different format. Here's my list of groups, which actually says a lot about me:

1) 'Flight Of The Conchords' Makes My World A Brighter Place [love that show]
2) Bagpipes Are Awesome [have always adored bagpipe music; my cell phone ringtone was Scotland the Brave for the longest time]
3) Addicted To 'Pride and Prejudice' ['nuff said]
4) Addicted To '30 Rock' [Alec Baldwin is a comic genius]
5) I Am Fluent In Sarcasm [ah, yes, I'm just a wee bit sarcastic most of the time]
6) I'd Rather Be In Scotland [yes, I really would]
7) And WHY Can't My Life Be A Musical? [says she who walks around singing all of the time]
8) I'm Tall, Therefore I'm Better Than You [well, probably not, but it sounded good... refer to #5]
9) But.... This One Goes To Eleven (Spinal Tap) [one of the funniest movies ever]
10) Bill Bryson Is A Genius [and I wish I could write as well as he does]
11) Book Jumping With Thursday Next [Jasper Fforde is an amazing author and his Thursday Next books are da bomb.] [Did I just say something is da bomb? Yikes!]
12) I Judge You When You Use Poor Grammar [ok, yeah, I probably do, but I can't help it.]
13) Michael Scott: That's What She Said [The Office... one of my fave shows]
14) Cows [I collect cows and have for years]
15) Digi Rocks Da House [it does, doesn't it?]
16) Digital Scrapbooking Magazine
17) Good Typography Is Hot [somehow I don't think Paris Hilton would say that though]
18) I Frequently Quote Princess Bride [as you wish]
19) I Will Go Slightly Out Of My Way To Step On That Crunchy-Looking Leaf [and I always have]
20) I Want To Be A Sedaris: The Club [because David AND Amy are brilliant]
21) Johnstone Clan [my claim to Scotland fame on the family tree]
22) Neil Finn (Crowded House) Fan Club [as if you didn't already know about this one...]
23) Ricky Gervais Is A Legend [The UK Office, Extras... legend indeed]
24) Unlike 99.99% of the Facebook population, I was born in the 60s. [yikes... and I just admitted it in public]
25) Rock Ridge Music [a music client of mine]
26) When Harry Met Sally [one of the best movies EVER]
27) All Us Curly-Haired People [whose hair frizzes like crazy this time of year]
28) Best Show Ever: Robot Chicken [love it!]
29) Grand Island: Better Than The Mainland [the place I spent the first five years of my life]
30) I'm A Klutz And I'm OK With That [says she who recently fell down the stairs]
31) Digital Scrapbooking
32) Yinz guys speak Pittsburghese N'at? [a tribute to the place where I spent my middle school and high school years]
33) Best Decade Ever: The 80s In Music [two words for you: Duran Duran]
34) It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia [love this show]
35) Actually NO ~ I am not attempting to impress you with my eloquent vocabulary [well, maybe I am, kinda]
36) Crowded House Appreciation Group
37) EVERYBODY LOVES A ∆Z [still claiming my allegiance, despite the recent brou ha ha]
38) Digital Scrapbooking (yes a second one by the same name)
39) Cinnabon Lovers [a million calories of cinnamon goodness in every bun]
40) If You Think Krista Is A Beautiful Name [it is, isn't it?]
41) Do They Turn Niagara Falls Off At Night? [because somebody really did ask me that once...]
42) My middle name is Marie.....oh yours is too?! [anyone else reading this share it with me?]
43) It's Cause I'm Tall [I blame all sorts of stuff on my height.]

My middle name is, too! Or it was. I use my maiden name for my middle name now. I just can't get into the whole MySpace/Facebook/LinkedIn thing, though. Not sure why.

Too weird - this is the third reference to Facebook I've heard tonight, after never hearing of it before! Anyway, enjoyed reading your list of groups. My middle name isn't Marie - but my oldest dd, my sister, my mom, and my grandma all share it with you!
Also, although it isn't BAGPIPE music per se (which I love as well, and often wish I could lay claim to some Scottish heritage - far cry from the Polish/Lebanese I actually am) I did want to recommend two Celtic-ish singers/groups to you. The first is Scythian ( www.scythianmusic.com/ ) - I'm really excited to be going to see them in a month. The second is Steve McDonald (sample song here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CjkSsjW5D4 ). Albums include Sons of Somerled, Highland Farewell, and Stone of Destiny. Hubby and I heard one of his CDs (Sons of Somerled) playing in a little shop in Gatlinburg TN years ago and bought it immediately, and have loved it ever since. Check them out and let me know what you think!
P.S. Only 21 more days until The Office! Yaaay!

Have to admit, I'll take bagpipe music over accordian, but somehow my Scottish roots must've slipped over to Ireland [fiddle, spoons, jigs]. Love that there's a sarcasm group ... and a cow collecting group. Cows rule! :-) Glad your computer's all together ... can't wait to see what new and amazing stuff you pull out of your imagination. :-)

Welcome to the addicting wonder that is "Crackbook" (because it's as addicting as crack, apparently, not that I'd know). Some of your groups are hilarious!!! :)

Off to throw a sheep at you....

Curse you, Krista. I just signed up, after resisting about half a dozen invitations before. You know I can't resist making lists though!! Throw a cow or two my way, ok?
