New blog post, same status. We're into finals week right now, so I'm still MIA for another week and a half or so. Taking the whole damn summer off, though. YES!! Now, if only I'd win the lottery, all would be good (ha)
I've been cheating on SG I admit. I got my facebook page up and running finally and I've been in touch with a very odd mix of people I grew up with in Kentucky and people I went to grad school with at Penn State. The people I grew up with--I cannot tell you how many of them are bible thumping, conservative types who can't write a sentence without mentioning "The Lord."
My grad school friends, on the other hand, are liberal smart-asses who trade barbs with me just like we did back in the old days.
Add my husband's ex-wife, who asked to be my friend if it wasn't too weird.
So far, I'm not having to referee between the old friends and the-uh--older friends, but if it comes to that--I'll run and leave FB to itself. I can't write off the bible thumpers because I've known too many of them all my life. They are a product of growing up in the Bible Belt, I'm afraid. There are a couple who I "hid" from view--just for safety. Ha. Luckily, some of us ran away from the Bible Belt and "broadened our lifestyles." Me--Nixon (Hey, it was the only chance I'll ever get to put myself in the same category as Nixon, okay?)
In any case--I think I need some of you guys in the mix just to REALLY eff things up! If you're "friend me," baby (babies??? That doesn't work, does it?)
I will be back here quite soon, too, though. I miss all you people!
Back to the paper grading....

I get a lot of Friend request on Facebook. I have decided that if people don't write me a note along with the friend request I don't friend them. The Today Show a few months back had their 'internet experts' on stating that for every 125 virtual friends someone has they have 1 friend in the real world.... So about 60 more virtual friends and should get me a real world one
