Wake them up and make them mad
To let them know that I’m ok
- Garth Brooks

So, yeah, I got on Facebook. Yea! I am really enjoying it, just like all of you said I would. It’s really interesting to see what people are up to now. Only thing is, I have a couple of hanging friend requests out there and it makes me wonder if they don’t want to be my friend anymore, or if they don’t remember me or if they just quit using Facebook. Of course it doesn’t help that one of these requests is to GRACE. Who, by the way, is one of my best friends. Hello? Did we revert back to 10th grade – are you mad at me again? Ha ha!

Anyway, Facebook has also highlighted how uncool I really am, which is ok because I already knew that. I need to get busy with a social life and take some pictures and post exciting status updates and all. But you’ll probably just continue seeing things like, “Amy Dabbs is going to sleep until noon on Saturday.” You know being the zebra with the unchanging stripes and all.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Ok, I've got your attention, Justin, now HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY! (So sorry for the delayed shout out). I hope you had a great day, old man. We will party next week! (unless the day gets changed again - ha!)

I did what people told me
Did what my mother said
And let my father mold me
But that was long ago
Now I’m in control

Ok, people. I come to you with a burning question. (SIGH). Has the time finally come for Amy Dabbs to get a Facebook and/or MySpace account? Don’t you all get enough Dabbsness with this site? Or do you want to “friend me” and “facebook me” to your hearts content?

I’ve resisted for SO LONG that it is going to be hard for me to give in at this point on principle. All I seem to hear lately is Facebook, Facebook, Facebook. And I’m getting some flack for not being on there. What if I get an account and I have zero friends on there? I mean, isn’t the point to collect friends there, sort of like how some people collect baseball cards or whatever? How embarrassing will it be when (notice I didn’t say if) I have, like, two friends? And don’t get me wrong, I’ll be proud of my two friends, but won’t everyone else on Facebook, (i.e. the ENTIRE WORLD) laugh at me and say how pitiful my friend count is?

Yeah, this is what worries me. Along with a deep seated fear that sometime in my future I will interview for a job and the person interviewing me will be all, “Oh YOU’RE AMY DABBS. I read all about you on Facebook!!” Well, I guess they could say they read all about me right here, though, too. (But here there an no pictures, etc.).

So, I can’t make this decision, dear readers. I need you to do it for me. I’m leaving it in your hands. Based on your comments below, I will continue abstaining from all this social media drama or I’ll finally succumb to the peer pressure.

Comment away…
