Facebook has made me lazy

Jackie, tell me if you agree. Thanks to Facebook I'll NEVER feel the need to attend our h.s. reunions. I never really wanted to go to one but have always been curious about the lives of people I used to think of as friends. Isn't it nice to know that Cindy rose above her slightly slutty rep and got married with kids? I'm still shocked that Heather married that guy that I almost hooked up with on the senior trip until my brain kicked in and reminded me what a tool he actually is. Isn't it great to know that the guys we suspected were gay (Bobby & Dave) actually are?!?! Now, thanks to internet social networking, I can keep up with people and not actually have to make an effort. I really need to force myself to call or email people now and that's bad. My friend Ashlee and I have started actually mailing each other letters, cards, pictures, etc. It's weird to think about stamp buying again. I aspire to be the kind of person who buys (and mails) birthday cards but I end up defaulting to ecards. It's not that I don't love you guys but I'm really, really lazy now.

So I'm going to make an effort to come visit. Katie and Jackie, I'll come to Philly to see you guys this fall (probably in November). Ashley, I'll see you on the way to them or make a special trip this spring. Ann, by God I'll make it to Ohio sometime. I don't know when but I'll be there. Beth, you're easy, you name any Saturday night and I'll be there to hang out with you and my new best friend, EH. Christy...um, I don't know when I'll be back to LA. I can promise that I'll be in San Diego next summer. But you're single too so maybe we could meet somewhere like Vegas or Seattle or Chicago. In fact, let's just start planning a trip now.

This is my vow. It's an expensive vow but it's one I intend to keep over the next couple of years. You have my permission to call me on it if I don't come through.
