Facebook Theories (Why everyone I know likes it but me)

Never had a Facebook. Not much much on social ties, even with family. I'm somewhat well-traveled and have made a lot of connections throughout the years, but I just don't see the point in keeping up with people just for the sake of keeping up. I'm sure I've missed a lot of conversations, drama, and opportunities, etc. but I have no regrets. I devote my energies to those I see in person everyday.

I'd much rather sit down with someone I haven't seen in 10 years, talk face-to-face over drinks/dinner and move on. I like the surprise of finding out "Oh, you got remarried and had 2 kids!?", and dropping my own crazy stories right back on them. Being hyper-connected is draining. I can hardly bring myself to post here, even though I've been lurking for 13 years.

As a CCG player//MMO player for the better part of my life, my friends are scattered all over the world. Facebook's a handy way to stay in touch with them, now that we aren't bitching in group chat in some dungeon, or meeting up after a tournament to drink, as often.
