Facebook Flaw

Yes I have taken some much needed creative
time off from my pblog writings.
Sorry fans.
I know that you are just as busy with facebook as I am.
Its amazing how many old friends I have found on that
crazy new tool of wasting our little spare bit of time.
Its all about curiosity isn't it?
Its all about messing with fate.
I almost don't like it.
Life unfolds a certain way and we are all just supposed
to roll with it.
None of this, "hey lets be friends again
because I never bothered to be yours way back when in
the first place, sorry!"
baloney.
There was a reason why I stopped being your friend
it happened for a reason.
Just because I can use this
new cyber tool doesn't mean
that its right to do so.
Like in that old movie Flatliners
where Kevin Bacon goes back to find that
girl he once teased so much that he ruined her life
and she ended up living in the ghetto.
He went back and fixed things.
Luckily I don't live anywhere near
Jane&Finch,
but my life has turned out alright.
Sure I threw banana's into the crowd in Gr.9 during a talent show
(don't ask),
not because it was funny,
but because my best friend and I didn't like
the "popular" girls that were sitting in the front row
and always insulted us and called us
alternative weirdos.
Sad isn't it, the mind of a 14 year old.
We also wore black dresses to our grad when everyone wore bad
1990's floral prints.
I sent the pics over to my friend last week for a laugh at how cool we were.
Such rebels.
And noticed that I even
wore classic pearls.
Imagine!
I was teased for the way I dressed.
But now I am "friends" with these people? years and years later.
Is the popular girl now me, because I have lots of virtual friends?
no.
I think Kevin Bacon will add me soon enough.
And my life will right itself entirely.
My friend "Taz" in jr. high locked my friend and I
in the basement in the dark of our school once
by accident?
and we never forgave him.
I even smacked him in the face.
And life moved on to grade 10.
Fresh start, new school, new people.
He found me on facebook and we laughed about the incident
yet I am afraid of the dark and small spaces to this day.
Was I supposed to find him again?
Are the creators of facebook indeed playing with fate?
What do you think?
The photo was from Taz, its a "Keytar t-shirt".
I thought it was funny.
He is a Dj in Kelowna now and married.
I suppose we all grow up at some point?
Others just keep wearing bad t-shirts like him.
Sorry if this doesn't make any sense, its been awhile.
