There are some people I am related to,
that I know I'm related to,
but I don't feel related to.
And I could never quite figure out why.
Looking at Facebook today I realized, the ones I don't feel related to ain't crazy. They - ain't - crazy. There aren't no crazy in 'em. And I can't understand that, it's completely foreign. How can I be related to someone who ain't at least a little bit about to go off?
I don't have many "friends", my little brother has over 1,000 friends. I briefly had the wild idea of asking all of his friends to be my friends, even though I am 20 years older and none of his friends would have any idea who I am. But it would be interesting to see how they responded. And the more friends I have the less I would have to focus or avoid or try to say "HI" to the few friends I have and that would be less awkward for me. With over 1,000 friends I could sink into oblivion, but it would be a respectable Facebook oblivion.
I have atrocious social skills, a-tro-cious. I can hang on to a pair of socks longer than a friend. My husband doesn't count, he is held captive and has no escape.
A good number of the people I look up, good friends from long ago, are not on Facebook. I have a theory that anybody I considered a good friend is probably freaked out by Facebook too!
