Andrew's on facebook

I joined facebook last night, and officially exited the Anti-facebook alliance (my role was to insert the word "crap" for either the "face" or "book" syllable).

There were a lot of different factors. Friends kept on pressuring me, but for a while that only deepened my conviction that crapbook was a waste time. "But it's good for ministry!" I kept on hearing. Indeed, but so are lots of other things. "It's a good way to keep in contact with your old friends." Life goes on, friends fall out of the loop, I don't need to change that process.

It might have been the night I slept in the same bed as Ethan Park that I started to really consider why I didn't like it so much. People were telling me I needed to do it. That itched me. Anyhow, somehow that night with Ethan started to scratch it. I trust Ethan Park enough to take his advice, even though he creeps over at night.

So yeah, I can't really articulate why I'm joining facebook. I have good reasons either way, I'm just kinda trusting good friends that this isn't going to burn my time or identity.
