I know this will sound bizarre, but I think about this episode <B>ALL THE TIME.</B> It's like a memory fragment that rolls around my brain. I didn't even watch LHOTP that much as a kid, but there it is.

I swear, I think there is a lesson in all of this. And it probably has something to do with controlling my temper.

I actually felt guilty and mean spirited when I defriended him--like I was the one being rude. Seriously, though, I don't think online social networking etiquette requres you maintain connections (or see posts) from people that you barely know and that kind of hate you (you being the most pluralistic sense of the word...) Reconnecting and talking to people from the past can be great... And I've actually enjoyed a bit of real political dialogue from a few old friends who I haven't talked to in years and who have completely different world views from me and who I still respect. There are others, though... They just need to be blocked.<BR/><BR/>If it makes you feel any better--you lasted a long time. Angela was on Facebook for all of two and a half days before she was on the phone with me trying to figure out how to defriend someone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2350344815816299228.post-14213846596560404742008-11-08T09:34:00.000-05:002008-11-08T09:34:00.000-05:00I have the very same facebook friend.

All was happy when we friended each other after the reunion, and then came the signs: she joined the group "fans of Sarah Palin" and donated her status to McCain. I'm pretty sure there is a pumpkin patch (or at least a pumpkin) picture with her and her red-sweatered spit-combed sons and her country singer husband (who is pretty cool, his politics notwithstanding). but hey, this is the life i escaped, i tell myself. and it's not terrible to be reminded of that.
