The Facebook Phenomenon

A friend and fellow blogger recently asked if I was done with blogging given the popularity of facebook. The answer is NO! I actually like the blog as a form of expression and sharing things with my family who are not all on facebook. Facebook is more like a yearbook and a cool way to see what your old high school friends have been up to. Heaven forbid someone gets married and changes their name and you can't find them! It then requires a little facebook stalking of all your "friends friends" to dig up the past.

In any case, one of the best things about facebook is the ability to share photos and these pics (courtesey of one Kimberly Boden) are from my grade 8 year. Can you guess which one is me??? Here's a hint - I've apparently ALWAYS liked pink :)

Or was it Dawg.....? Saturday night Jen and I had a date with our past. Meeting Shannon and Dawn for dinner in Yorkville made us realize how long it's been since we had a little too much to drink and acted like silly single girls. The ladies were in town, with their rather large entourage, to celebrate 3 brides (Dawn is one of them) who are tying the knot this year. Some things never change - oddly comforting - and it didn't feel like years since we'd last seen each other. Some nine years ago Shannon introduced Luigi and I and for that she will always hold a special place in my heart :)
