a measure of my coolness?

I joined facebook...

a fact I am not necessrily proud of, for lots of reasons...

1) I have never gotten it
2) I think it is a replacement for real friendship (cyber friends and face-to-face friends are just different)
3) I think it is one more way "kids today" measure how cool they are with jow many friends they have...

All of that being said...

I HAVE 36 friends! I am the COOLEST!

I have been able to find some folks from high school, from college, and kids that graduated from the youth program many years ago. And have used facebook to reconnect with them!

Facebook rocks!

Here is the problem - I am addicted. I need more friends! Don't you see...it is a measure of my coolness!
