On Facebook...

I have been asked by a few bloggers of late if they can add me or me them to Facebook. However it works.

I hope this makes sense but Facebook for me is a place where I keep in touch with very few people really.  Relations too far away to see often if at all.  Friends who have emigrated.  Plus the odd few that have slipped in.  In all I only have about 19, maybe less 'friends' on facebook.  (now I think about it, it could be 9 and I am too lazy to log in to check).

So by way of apology and explanation, Facebook still worries me a little.  I know I can control my privacy settings except the powers that be ie: facebook god - keep changing the layout and settings.

On my blog I am Achelois and shall always remain so.  Unless I change my mind and that is my perogative.  Facebook is in my real name and most of those who are my friends there don't know about this blog. The reason for that I am not quite sure why. (if you do and are about to comment either here or over there in the F place  - please please respect my wish for annonymity here - you know who you are).  I don't know why I like it like that but I do.

Its not that I mind bloggers that I communicate off blog that sounds quite charming don't you think a little like off piste, with knowing my real identity either- name etc. and those that I email and vice versa do indeed know.  So its not as though I am a fraudulent creep.  I am who I say I am.

Its just that for some reason I just can't cope with the whole Facebook thing. In my world at least growing too fast for me to keep up - also me as 1 amongst 397 other friends on other people's facebook feels a bit spooky.

So if you have recently requested that I add you as a friend on Facebook via this blog please please please don't take it personally if I rather rudely just don't respond to the suggestion with no explanation by just ignoring it.  It truly is nothing personal.  Its just I haven't really been able to find any well thought out reason for why I just can't push that add me/you as a friend button thingy that makes any rational sense.  So I thought I would publish my irrationality here on my blog!

I am just a little bit complicated on my ethos about Facebook which I find hard to put into words in the first place and am happier doing things the way I do.

If I have a revelation and change my mind I'll let y'all know.  In the meantime please forgive me and my eccentricities.
