To face or not to face?

My daughter is encouraging me to start up a facebook account, but I find I already have my plate full just vaguely managing to keep up with LJ... Have any of you ventured into Facebook? What makes it any different from here?

Also much happiness here as we've finally a new pastor and he and his family are moving here this week - they'll be staying with *us* for the next week or so until a rental house is available for them, which gives us a whopping 10 people plus randomly cycling friends and visitors. Somehow I foresee a lot of time spent in the kitchen!

Yikes...getting down into the 30s at night... time to finish patching the holes in my greenhouse so I can bed down my plant children for the winter. Duct-tape is my friend.

Facebook, well, I have one. It is different from here in that it is quite possible to use up several hours accomplishing absolutely nothing doing games and memes and passing people virtual whatsits without the benefit of blog-ability (unless it is hidden somewhere I haven't found). But if you want to shout at a friend to see if they are alive and well it's handy and sometimes mindless games and quizzes are just what the doctor ordered. It also offers a little window into my nephew's worlds because really, if Aunt Gina asks you to friend her you really can't say no, now can you? LOL

I have it primarily to make sure that old friends looking for me by name can find me, then I point them over here where people speak in more or less complete thoughts. ;)

Have fun with your guests! It's an exciting time and a big transition for the church and I hope it is going really well.

How is that different? LOL! I'm forever getting pulled off into memes and icon collections and lolcats and.... Sounds like a good tool to add to the toolbox, and good for keeping up with the kids too. I've already had some of my kid's friends connecting with me on Runescape ("no way! your mom plays Runescape with you?") so yeah... I think so.

Should be a crazy time with everyone, I think we're ready - dusting done, beds set up, fridge is full - bring it on!
