FACE!

I got talked into putting up a profile on Facebook. 

I've gotten a bunch of Facebook requests in the past and I ignored them because I didn't know what they meant.  (And I figured I was on enough goddamned community networking sites already.)  However, my friend Wendy (who is smart) convinced me I needed to be there and promised me Facebook was WAY less seizure-inducing than MySpace, so here I am.

Anyway, now you can friend me or network me or something me, because I still don't fucking understand what it is or how to direct you there.

I don't really have a follow-up statement here, so, um, carry on?

Edited to Add:

Here's my profile link if you didn't see it in the comments section.  Also, people are sending me sheep, drinks, and triva.  AM NOT RUDE FOR RESPONDING - SIMPLY DO NOT COMPREHEND.  (This has to be why I've been more comfortable with an application for 13 year olds.) 

Edited to Add Again:

I guess the link only works if you're logged into Facebook.  In related news, Facebook ate up 70% of my day yesterday because it's addicting.  In more related news, Fletch and I had to have a chat last night about reasons it is appropriate to call him out of a meeting.  Fire, felony, flood?  YES.  Finding your sixth grade boyfriend on Facebook - the one you 'went with' for 48 hours and never actually spoke to because you were a socially awkward eleven year old?  NO.

I was totally excited when you asked me to be your Facebook friend! (the feature that allows you to search your gmail contacts is great, isn't it?)

Hmmm...so were all 6th grade relationships that way? My "boyfriend' looked like "Zack the Lego Maniac" from the commercials. I think I talked to him once in person in the month that we "dated." Otherwise, my friend played go between - passing notes between us - and I ran interference for her and her boyfriend. Ah, love is complicated. hee

One word of advise though, keep away from the FunWall Application. Before you know it every Tom, Dick and Harry will be slapping up videos and pics of complete crazyness! I can't even go on some of my friends pages while at the office because there is so much stupid nudity on their funwalls. Really? I didn't need to know that men can help themselves out like that.....

[Rebecca]

I was having problems with the "page not found" too. What you have to do is log into Facebook and then copy and paste the profile link that Jen has so lovingly provided for us. Then it comes up.

If you add the Graffiti application, we can also draw you pictures! Just what you've always wanted...

[Karina in T.O]

I tried to find you! But that isn't the proper link...comes up 'Page Not Found' like Serenity said.... :( me sad now...

[Serenity]

Every time I click on the link either in the post or from the comments section, it says "Page Not Found".

Oh well.

[Susan Morris]

I am learning Facebook right along with you! Do you get any kind of notification by e-mail if there are updates to your FB page? I am stoked.

[Karina in T.O]

Oh my God! I'm so excited!! I checked out your MySpace profile that you gave before, but I'm a FaceBook kinda kid, so I didn't have the heart or the brains to do up another profile!

I agree with Dani, the Books application rocks, I have you as a favourite in mine. (Sorry, I'm acting like a total wank, but I'm just giddy about you on FB!) The Photography and Vintage Apps add awesome visuals too!

[Dani]

If PETA is monitoring the site lets just hope they are swayed to look the other way by the amazing shoe-balancing dog photos (How could anyone with such talented pets really be a threat?). As for finding you on Facebook, its not so difficult, just a guess but you might be the Jen Lancaster from Chicago, IL whose photo looks like the back of my well worn books. Good luck figuring out all the time wasting features. I sincerely recommend the Books application, but thats just me.

I have to agree with the majority of the people that have commented when I say facebook is much better than myspace. I like it because random weirdos cant ask to be your friend or send you messages about how beautiful my lips are (I dont think there is anything special about my lips). Good luck figuring it out. There are so many different applications to get and people are always wanted you to add more. Just pick a couple or it can get kinda overwhelming.

[Jenny from Chicago]

These comments have an alarming number of references to animal torture (throwing cows and sheep is never the answer people). I just pray to God that PETA isn't monitoring this site right now.

[Jennifer McKenzie]

NO NO!!! Now I have to join SOMETHING ELSE!!! Ack! *continues overuse of capital letters and exclamation points*
I give in. I cave. I'll go.
*goes quietly in front of the firing squad*

[Jenny T.]

to throw random farm animals you have to add SuperPoke. I added a Jen Lancaster as a friend so I'm hoping it's you - and if it is I'll throw a sheep or something so you can join the fun!

[Emily]

I agree...there are too many Jen Lancasters on facebook! Give us a profile link :)

[Sleepynita]

I am SO looking you up! Your site and books crack me up!

Seriously, Facebook is much better then MySpace, my MySpace account lasted 5 days before I was sick of it, crackbooks is much friendlier.

[the governor of jennsylvania]

Wait - I can throw cows and drink sheep and WHAT? Do I just need to fool around with this thing to understand it?

[Carrie]

Jen...I promise you will like facebook way better than myspace. There is no way for people to make obnoxious hard to ready colorful backgrounds. Plus, like was said previously, you can send virtual drinks! And, most importantly, Facebook is NOT blocked at work! yay!

[Jenny T.]

I've had Myspace and Facebook for about the same time and Facebook is so much more addicting.

Jen: I'd recommend adding Superpoke and Happy Hour cause what else does a girl need then to able to throw sheep and cows at their friend and by them a virtual drink?

Good luck figuring it out!

[paigers]

My Space. . . FaceBook.... can't we stay simple and just blog and respond to blog....

It seems these two items are the Internet's version of scrapbooking . . .and I m.f.h. scrapbooking

[Christine]

hahaha I'll have to ditto Heather!! Facebook is seriously more addicting to me!! :) Enjoy and welcome!! BTW - you have another friend. :)

[Kristina]

Jen I don't need to wait for the McRib, you just completed me.

[Megan]

I find that Facebook is FAR more seizure inducing then MySpace will ever hope to be. The only application on Facebook I use on a regular basis is the SuperPoke! feature. Because, really? Who can resist being able to engage in such activites as throwing sheep and cows at ones friends? Not me!

[Heather B.]

Ooh, ooh! Friend me!

Actually I find it odd how popular facebook has become since it first started. I almost want to delete my entire profile because now EVERYONE and their mother is on it.

[the governor of jennsylvania]

Seriously, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS APPLICATION. I keep getting requests and stuff and laughing each time I see the option "we hooked up" under how we know each other. Which I want to add to everyone's but I won't because I suspect my mother is going to find her way onto my Facebook account and then freak out.

I think my profile is:

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=582565298

Also, the amount of email I get just went up exponentially because of Facebook. Nice job, self.

[sweetney]

i too drank the kool aid recently. am off to track you down...

[tutugirl1345]

Jen,
Tried to find you on Facebook, but there are a lot of Jen Lancasters. Could you post a link to your profile so we can friend you?
Thanks!
