    I must've found the one guy under 30 who has never had a facebook.

We are the few, the proud, the paranoid.

I have so many questions!!

Okay.

So.

How did you never create a facebook? I completely understand people who have deleted their facebook or rarely post anything. I don't understand how you could never have made a facebook when it was all the rage.

Do you ever find yourself missing out on things? Did you ever find yourself missing parties / events when Facebook was the defacto mode of event invitations?

Have you dated someone with a facebook and did she find it weird that you didn't have one?

How do you get access to photos of yourself taken at parties or by friends?!

I'm obstinate, and most of the people I was hanging around with back then were too. None of us had Facebook accounts when it was all the rage because it was all the rage. Or at least, anyone who didn't wouldn't have admitted it to the rest of us. People I'd known in high school had Facebook accounts, but the ones I wanted to keep in touch with I kept in touch with via im/email. By the time anyone I might have listened to was pressuring me to make one it wasn't just for university students anymore and there were already stories about employers Facebook-stalking employees, so I was more firmly opposed.

    Do you ever find yourself missing out on things? Did you ever find yourself missing parties / events when Facebook was the defacto mode of event invitations?

Probably, but nothing comes to mind so probably not anything I really regretted missing.

    Have you dated someone with a facebook and did she find it weird that you didn't have one?

I have dated people with Facebook accounts. I've never owned a cellphone either, so by the time Facebook comes up anyone who'll think I'm weird for not having one already thinks I'm weird.

    How do you get access to photos of yourself taken at parties or by friends?!

I don't like having my picture taken. There are probably a few pictures of me out there, but I'm not interested in seeing them.
