It’s Sunday again and after a most excellent extended weekend due to APEC (Welcome Gerge W. Bush!) I have buckled under the pressure (and boredom) and got a Facebook account. However, the only people I want to find are not on Facebook. Denim (what the hell is her last name?) from Fort Street High School I think I’ll have to find my yearbook, although I think we both wagged school the day of school photos. I am also keen to find my Swedish friend Lina from Stockholm but I think she’s way too cool for something like Facebook. I think all the interesting cats are secretive about their fabulous lives and the dull ones (present company [i.e. all two of my Facebook friends] excluded, of course) are the ones that harp on about meager achievements (children bred, garden BBQs) and Contiki tours in glorious full-colour, high resolution detail.

Add me as your friend and read the inane details of my life! (e.g. I’m blogging on the toilet.)

While we seem dreamy and happy, I have it on good authority that we all came down with funny tummies (food poisoning?) from the glorious banquet at Al Mustafa. Beware!

    hey C,
    I just joined facebook yesterday. I caved in. the vicarious pleasures of seeing what the fuck happened to all those people I used to know just drew me in. but I can’t be stuffed going and ‘befriending’ all those people at school. it was painful enough being dissed the first time. facebook seems to be just another narcissits technology (like myspace and blogging etc., w/oops!). we look out into the world and don’t see much of ourselves so we compose an ideal image of ourselves (an ego ideal with nice pics and lots of friends) and we hope the world will want to look back at us.
