Here is a little rebuttal to all of the Facebook haters. (I can really only think of one: my friend Thea. She is just re-dick about Facebook. Drives me f-ing nuts.) And this is just Hollywood-caliber awesomeness. Read on.
A friend of mine was contact via Facebook by someone she didn't know. (I promised I'd keep names out of this, so let's call my friend "Sabrina", and the person who contacted her shall be called "Audrey".) Sabrina was all, "I don't know you. Please stop trying to friend me." (Sabrina doesn't have time for funny business.) Well, Audrey dropped a bomb on Sabrina.
Sabrina's uncle had gone through a very messy divorce a long time ago-- it reached the point where he was put in jail, and his kids were put into foster care. Shitty. Sabrina was really young when this business went down, so she never really knew these cousins that were put into foster care. [Are you already guessing what happens?]
It turns out that Audrey is Sabrina's long-lost cousin. [Jaw dropping. I know.] Audrey is 16 and in high school, actually not that far from where Sabrina's parents live. Since she is becoming a young adult, she's in the position to start discovering her biological family. So, my sistah-friend Sabrina has a new cousin! I hope I get to meet Audrey sometime-- I would imagine that her unique personal story will shape her into a pretty interesting adult. Plus, Sabrina and her family are bad-ass-- Audrey is lucky to be related to them.
Yeah-- FACEBOOK, honey. Not only does it get people through the workday faster, but it brings families back together. Easy on the hating.
