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]

12) I Judge You When You Use Poor Grammar [ok, yeah, I probably do, but I can't help it.]
