Yes, I've finally sold out to Facebook. You guys can mock me now.
I've been against the idea of joining Facebook and all other online social networking systems for a long time because I thought (and still do to some extent) that having an email account, msn and a blog takes up enough space already on cyberspace.
But after QH told me that the Anime Club alumni wanted to create a group on Facebook, I thought that if having a Facebook group can help us increase the sense of community and friendship within the alumni, then I shouldn't be a spoilsport and stay out of Facebook. So here I am.
As time goes by, I'll also inevitably be seeing less and less of my former schoolmates, so Facebook should help me keep in contact with them as well. But this doesn't mean that posting messages online and sending 'pokes' can fully replace the need to see and talk to people in person. There's nothing like a long afternoon chat over a cup of tea with an old friend.
