I haven't gotten to know people in the manner that I'd hoped for originally because so many people have become my friends, and so many of the people that I'd already known have become my friends too. Trying to get to know people is a tad bit more complicated than I'd anticipated only because everyday people are posting all kinds of things that's going on in their lives that it's kind of hard to keep up with. And don't forget all of the games and groups that you can become involved in.
I have to admit that I wasn't too excited about Facebook at first, but it's better than I'd ever imagined it would be. My brother's dog, Solomon, died yesterday and I was able to share my experience with my friends.
I absolutely love Facebook! But, be careful because it can become addictive, if you allow it to overpower you.
