I joined the dark side.

That thing could eat up the entire rest of my life. Fortunately, I tend to lose interest in between clicking on something and seeing the results.* This allows me to continue to do homework.

Now I think I need the basic two-minute tutorial. Rob's been over the initial setup with me, which is good, or my e-mail inbox would be dead. But I don't really know how to use anything yet.

- When somebody does a "wall-to-wall" at you, how do you reply to their comment?
- What in blazes do you do with "gifts" (not!) of "things" (virtual) that want you to enable some app and donate even more of your time? Is ignoring these considered rude?
- When someone you do not recognize at all asks to friend you, what is the socially acceptable way to say "I haven't the foggiest who you are"?

I've found some old HS buddies -- and a cousin I'd lost track of. Like it for that. Don't do the games and stuff -- I'm told that folks don't know when you click "ignore".

Writing on walls is kind of public -- it's a bit embarrassing (for me) to read "were you the guy I made out with..." when two folks are re-meeting each other... But I don't want to not-see writings on walls, since sometimes they're cool.

There are a lot of you: Displaying 1 - 10 out of over 500 people results for: Cj Smith. Should you wish, I'm the only margaret bumby there. Pic of me in an empty storage cube.

I can quickly scan what's there -- and not look at most of it more deeply. LJ I'll read... all of ... and you can see how far behind I am now...
