Just a quick note to say hi to someone I was recently reunited with (electronically anyway) through the power of Facebook (enough with the trumpets!).
So yes, despite my misgivings about Facebook and the deluge of "friends" it seems to attract, empirical evidence suggests 1 in a hundred (approximately) are worth wading through the other 99. All of this excludes the core group of friends you see in real life. They don't count as Facebook friends because, for the most part you sign up as an atomic bloc.
I don't do the friends thing well. I'm uncommunicative, often ill-tempered, not given to long rambling emails, don't do phone calls, and despise smalltalk (the activity, not the language).
The only reason people still talk to me is I cook a reasonable potjie (and they think there's a chance I can get free books from Amazon).
I'm rambling and off-topic. Wait, this is my blog, I can do what I want. If you don't like it hit Ctrl-L (this may not work in Opera or Safari, but that's about 1% of the population so who cares), type in http://www.wulffmorgenthaler.com and hit enter.
Enjoy my sense of humour.
