This isn't just about Facebook but about social networking in general. I find that you have to put a lot of energy into social networking to really, really be networking socially. And since I'm an introvert and people-adverse I find it difficult to network, socially, virtually, real-life or whatever. That may come as a surprise to some of you - and if so you need to mail me some chocolate as penance.
The other issue with social networking is that it's a great way to tell everyone that you don't have any friends. Actually, that you don't even have any virtual friends. To me that seems pretty pathetic, but I tend to come from a perfectionistic point of view and even if I don't like being social I still would rather see my friends count break 20.
So I thought I would run an experiment. If anyone out there has Facebook feel free to add me as a "friend." No requirements, expectations or fees are required. You don't need to send me chocolate, real or virtual. You DO need a Facebook account, but I'm pretty sure I'm the last person on earth to get one so that may not be a problem.

At least, I hope I'm doing that right. If I'm not let me know and I'll try to figure it out.
Thanks, Friend!

I don't have a Facebook account so you must be the second last person on earth. And Merry Christmas to you and your family.
