I am not one of those Facebook people that has over 1000 friends and who has never met most of them.
I also don’t play all the mafia/farm/whatever games.
What I do is try to keep in touch with people I know. And, yeah, sort of semi-stalk people.
Well, it’s not really STALKING, per se. More like “hey, this person and I were in grade 7 together and haven’t really spoken since but he added me as a friend, so I wonder what he’s been up to”. Here are some things I’ve found out that are surprising to me, or at least, are not how I saw things turning out:
- The biggest heavy-metal all-through-highschool-atheist (we would have long conversations about how he thought God was a myth and anyone who believed was just a sheep), who said that he wished all children would disappear from the face of the earth (he used to try to scare them on the bus and I would have to restrain him) has now become a devout Mormon with six kids.
- Sadly, one of my jr. high friends whose dream was to be in the NHL (and actually had people scouting him in GRADE 8 ) was in a car accident and is now on social security disability. BUT, he’s happy, and has a beautiful family.
- A guy I went to high school with is now in Hollywood. Not a movie star, but does all the CGI stuff for the movies. Nerdy nerds FTW!
I have no idea what people who read my updates think about me. Probably that I love my dogs and hate being warm.
They’d be pretty accurate.
