Is it weird when your mom is more "with it" than you are?

[brendala]

My mother (who up until a year ago couldn't even turn a computer on) has just set up a Facebook account to get in touch with some high school friends of hers (so far, she's reconnected with 4). Mom, my sister, and my friends keep telling me to get on it. But I just don't see the appeal. Though I may have to jump on the bandwagon soon because many of my real life friends have taken on the habit of announcing big news via facebook only.

Now I kinda feel like an old lady for thinking "why doesn't this generation just TALK to each other anymore?"

Oh well. :-P

If you haven't noticed, I've been perusing your LJ posts (sorry, am I being a weird bother?) and I've noticed that you and I are very similar in this stuff! I never had a Myspace, don't have a facebook, and honestly, I don't see myself having one in the near future. I don't even text my friends, unless something urgent I need updating on is going on and I or a friend is put in a situation where we really can't talk to each other (which has only happened like... once or twice). I just have no interest in that sort of stuff... I keep wondering if I'm just way behind my classmates or way ahead o_O.

LOL. Don't worry. I don't think you're a creepy stalker.

My aversion to Facebook and MySpace is partly due to lazyness (checking/updating them in addition to my e-mail and LJ would take too much time). But it's mostly because I know for a fact that employers check up on Facebook and MySpace and that a goofy cosplay picture on one of those pages could cost me a job.
