Journal #9

One of the fun things about Facebook is that I never know who is going to show up on my wall on any given day! There's a group of four or five people who write on my wall most frequently, but every now and then, other totally random people will show up. For example, I had no idea my high-school French teacher was going to comment "Il pleut, il pleut, il pleut!" on my status update complaining about the rain. That might be the first comment she's ever left me. Also, two friends from high school commented on my wall for the first time in many, many months. I guess it's fun to get surprises like this! Also, it's nice to know that just as I follow the lives of many old friends without them knowing it, people are also following my life without my knowing it. So even when I think everybody has forgotten me, they haven't: they'll still randomly see my status updates, and think of me....

The other day, I was Skyping with a friend in another state when I decided to try to befriend him with my fake account. Being the friendly person he is, he accepted the friend request from this strange Sara O'Donnell girl. Sara proceeded to start commenting on his wall and clicking Like on her own wall posts. Meanwhile, through Skype, I was hearing my friend's reaction as he told me about this funny girl on Facebook (who he thought was flirting with him). It was a very funny experience! It wasn't until the next day that my friend asked me if I was Sara, and I'm so bad at lying that I immediately told him yes. Being the playfully annoying person he is, my friend started posting things on Sara's will like "SARA IS A LIE," "THIS IS A FAKE ACCOUNT," etc. So I deleted his posts and had Sara defriend him. And that's the end of that!
