Actually, I was on it for a while, then took a year and a half hiatus from it. Each time I log in, I am reminded why I deactivated my account in the first place... for me, using the 'block' option helps a lot. I recently joined too, last week.

Now that you are on The Book I know some of us will find many an interesting e-mail in our inbox about nocturnal bike rides and hip dinners with riparian entertainment (though I never participate in said events I love knowing that they exist). You are doing this for the greater good! And, if I ever join The Book, I hope to be your friend on it, even though I bullied you into being my token white friend at university. Congratulations feral friend!

I've made a few friend requests, but it's already creeping me out...after so many years of saying "I'm not on Facebook" it feels WRONG. I'm itching to delete the profile already...I don't think I'm really cut out for being in the loop. OMG I joined two days ago, with all the same reservations!

]]> Comment on In which I wonder if I can finish school in seven weeks by feralgeographer http://feralgeographer.wordpress.com/2009/11/02/in-which-i-wonder-if-i-can-finish-school-in-seven-weeks/#comment-530 feralgeographer Mon, 09 Nov 2009 06:46:41 +0000 http://feralgeographer.wordpress.com/?p=1307#comment-530 thank you for the lovely comment, kama... i honestly never expected to have this sort of supportive relationship, and i think it's amazing that you've thought about it already. me, i was lucky enough to wander into it! oats is also the first person i've been with who wants kids as much as i do, which has been a huge shift in my own ideas about that future investment... i hadn't really planned on sharing this much with anyone, ever. it's been a growth experience, to learn how to accept help and how to incorporate space for two (or more!) people's dreams, but an extremely rewarding one. i've never treated school as a job, but then i also never got scholarships or bursaries... i bet would have though, if i'd studied harder and achieved higher marks in university. instead, i was constantly distracted by my external employment, which i was doing so that i could afford tuition in the first place! looking back, this was not the smartest move. thank you for the lovely comment, kama… i honestly never expected to have this sort of supportive relationship, and i think it’s amazing that you’ve thought about it already. me, i was lucky enough to wander into it!
