The other day on facebook, I wrote on some friends' walls... note that I hadn't talked to these people in about two years... and (shocker!!!) they wrote back on mine. The problem is that I don't really want to talk to these people anymore... I mean I do and at the same time I don't. I mean they're still my friends and all, but it's awkward now, 'cause I hadn't talked to them in so long. I feel like some kind of facebook stalker.
So, I haven't wrote on their walls yet, 'cause I don't really know what to say. I mean at the time when I first wrote on their wall, I thought i was a great way to regain and restore a old and dying friendship... but in actuality I realized that I have like NOTHING in common with these people any more.
I feel kind of guilty though, 'cause I should write on their walls 'cause they wrote back on mine. But I don't really know them anymore...
Speaking of friends on facebook, my cousin friended me on facebook. So, I was like "yea. sure. He's my cousin and all." Note that he is only 14. He messaged me today and asked me how I was and stuff like that.
But then I realized that their are things that on my facebook that I don't think I really want my younger cousins seeing. I mean, I don't have like drunk pictures or like porn on my page... it's just that I'm the oldest cousin. There are pictures of me on facebook that are mildly inappropriate in a sly kind of way. For example:
This is a picture from summer camp '09.
I don't want to de-friend him though, 'cause he is my cousin and all and I want to keep in touch with him. I mean I am friends with my parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles on facebook. If THEY hadn't said anything yet, I don't think I should go making a big deal out of it. I'll let it go and see what happens.

The fun thing about facebook is that you can have people on your friends list and not have to actually chat with them a whole lot. It's a nice way to stay up with friends and family.
Just a thought....
Yea that's true. Thanks for commenting Amy!
I tend to do a sweep everyone and then and if there are people that I don't really talk to I'll delete them. However, it turns out I'm pretty popular with my status updates so if I delete someone and they actually enjoy them they usually ask for a friend request back. It's a great way to keep in touch even if you don't talk often.
I'm fairly certain you can filter certain people in different ways, but I'm assuming he's already seen it.
I don't have much in common with my bet friends from just a few years ago, but we still get along. We don't have much to talk anymore, but fb is a good way to keep the ties for the once a year I see her.
I know exactly what you mean. FB lets us get back in touch but mostly I want to say a quick "hi" and hear a brief update, but don't necessarily want to stay in close contact. Don't need or want much back and forth. In fact, there are a few too many FB friends who I'd really rather not be in touch with at all.
