Just today I was thinking about two elementary school friends who have had a (minor) argument on Facebook, and I thought it was so funny that here I am, 35 years later and on the other side of the planet, STILL watching these two girls argue!!!Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-27932139993851319902011-09-28T00:27:42.215-04:002011-09-28T00:27:42.215-04:00cluster fuck- yes!

I think it was sometime around 1998 or 1999. The very first time I got on I joked "So what do I do now - visit porn sites?" So hilarious, I know. (eyes rolling). <br /><br />Anyway, before I knew it I had friends all over the place. Me, the introvert. I'm much more of an extrovert online. I guess that's true for alot of people.Cyndyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11787927933858782267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-20308792489355223242011-09-27T14:51:14.890-04:002011-09-27T14:51:14.890-04:00If the internet did not exist, you would find a wa...If the internet did not exist, you would find a way to connect.
