I mean, I've got friends from as far away as Sri Lanka, and I want to keep in touch with all of them, and know what each and every one of them is up to, right down to the minute, to every nitty gritty detail.
So, I have a facebook account. It's totally fun, and it's great to have caught up with guys I haven't seen in as much as 20 years (yes, I'm that old).
Speaking of which (the old-ness part), do you find that when you're suggesting friends to someone, that you get confused with who knows whom (or is it the other way around?)?
My life, in a nutshell has five historical periods. Lets call them Richardian Eons:
Eon 1: Abbeville High School (1982-1985)
Eon 2: Jimmy Swaggart Bible College (1987-1988)
Eon 3: University of SW Louisiana (1988-1994)
Eon 4: The Tulsa Years (1994-2000)
Eon 5: Back to Cajun Country (2000-Present)
So, I'm reconnecting with old friends, and when prompted to help those with a lesser number of friends along in their facebook journey, I honestly cannot remember who came from what eon! I find myself staring blankly at the thumbnail pics, wondering how the person pictured knows the friend I'm trying to help out.
I feel like George Costanza: worlds are colliding.
Does this happen to you? Please say it does.
