16 things

You already know (assuming you've been reading my blog) that I have questions about how relevant a connection can be formed using Facebook as the venue, "the commons" cyber version if you will. So playing the game here is as sample of what goes on in my facebook circle: I was "tagged" in a "note" by a friend in Facebook. This is what one person started to get a conversation going:

Rules: Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 16 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 16 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it’s because I want to know more about you. If I DIDN'T tag you, it is only because 1) you don't post a lot or 2) I assumed you wouldn't be into this.

-And this is my response to 16 things-
