Facebook’s gonna kill Independent Bethany

(the title here is a Seinfeld reference)

So, new peops at Facebook!  yay!  Mostly.

The fabulous:  Rachel contacted me!!  Rachel was my BFF in college and for a few years after.  I was in her wedding, she was at Julian’s birth, etc.  We were still exchanging Christmas cards but other than that we weren’t in touch.  She had moved to TN and I moved back to NY.  She did come visit me shortly after 9/11 and we stayed a night in Manhattan, caught a show, ate at Ruth’s Chris with her little sister.  And I went to visit her the following year I think.  Anyway, we are back in touch through facebook and it’s been an awesome reunion.  She’s exactly the same and our rhythm is the same.  So comforting.

The interesting?:  A bunch of people from high school are on there.  I’m friending the ones I remember.  That’s not very many of them.  Seriously, there are some of whom I have zero recollection.  I’m sure they are lovely and all.  I feel sort of sheepish about that but I’m sure there are plenty of them who don’t remember me either.  Well, probably not.  I did tend to stick out a bit at Locust Valley High School.

The “bad:”  Again, lovely people but there are now some women who have friended me who I really only know in the World of Mom.  And it’s not that I am not myself in Mom World, but not all the bits of my freak flag can be seen there, if you know what I mean.

So, it’ll be interesting to see how this all goes.  I am going to try not to censor myself for anyone else’s benefit.  Fuck, I may even link this blog someday.  lolz
