“Because you love the little girl with the shotgun.” Now you know the true reason I keep up this whole Christian priest/feminist shtick. I’ve been outed.
Yeah, THANKS, Jill. Make me have to sign up for facebook. I ditto Zuzu. Now I feel like I am missing out. But all the cool kids you say? Dang, I always cave in…
Facebook is ironic in that Alanis kind of way for me. It was cool for a while, and then they let everybody have access. I wasn’t ready to surrender my facebook privilege, damnit!
What the hell is this Facebook thing? My students have been making jokes about it all year (apparently they’re “the facebook generation”), and much more about my incomprehension of it. What’s this sign-up business? My students have threatened to make a facebook page or account or whatever it is for me with some of my more unguarded statements on it (e.g., “Okay, enough Colin Firth; let’s get back to child sex”). Do you have to make a page to join?
H (J), i’m sorry to let you know, but if your students have been threatening to make the group about you, chances are pretty good they already have. And all you have to do to sign up is go to the Facebook front page thing and follow some instructions. You can put as much or as little as you want. And fuck Myspace.
OT There is a great post on The Carpetbagger Report from a few days ago about the mainstream media’s (specifically Time magazine’s) ignoring the prosecutor purge scandal. http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/10367.html What explains the failure of the mainstream media to cover the purge scandal for so long, and so many other scandals? Do you think somebody just set up newspaper editors to cheat on their wives, and threatened to tell if the editors wouldn’t play ball when they come back some day and ask for something? It wouldn’t be that hard to do, when you think about it. People wouldn’t talk about it.
I registered, but accidentally skipped their recommended set-up, so apparently something bad happened. I’m still utterly mystified as to what the point of that site is supposed to be.
The point of the website is to avoid doing your homework, much as i’m doing right now. And also network or somesuch.
This is a creepy, creepy crossover of my real life and my internet life. Seconded A Pang… it’s so weird to suddenly think of everyone here as real people!
