pay attention
i've suddenly gotten several emails about this in the past few days, so i thought i should make a general announcement: i am actively uninterested in having a facebook account [or a myspace account, for that matter]. so don't be offended if i don't show up as your "friend". because it won't happen.
also, i will be extremely angry if i start getting any direct or third party emails as a result of facebook now presumably having my email address.
as a general rule, don't EVER give my email address, either directly or indirectly, to any person or organization that may possibly use it for their own email harvesting uses. i keep a tight rein on my email accounts, and get cranky when that security is breached. i haven't had any spam at my new email address [five months!] and i'd like to believe it's more than just luck.
public service announcement ended.

You can't be a Christian if you don't have facebook.
I'm not a Christian.
i KNEW it.
why the rage? you are generally a calm person.
rage? i was thinking more like stern...
as for why, i suppose it's carrying over from a particularly irritating last couple of days at work. plus a lack of sleep. and i personally think giving someone's email address to a random third party is sort of like giving out their phone number. why would you do that? think, people, think. spam doesn't just magically appear; they have to GET your email from somewhere first.
i realize i'm sounding a little paranoid and conspiracy theory here, but hey. sometimes i just don't love technologyyy.
I just posted your email address on my blog. Don't worry, judging from the number of comments recently, no one is reading it.
I updated my xaxo address book and birthdaycalendar.com so expect a few soon.
I AM JUST KIDDING ABOVE IN CASE YOU DID NOT ALREAY KNOW.
(but I do have a facebook profile)
