Say "NO" to Facebook!

Darren, my Canadian neighbor/newest US citizen asked Brian and I to sign up for Facebook months ago. In fact, he brought it up numerous times but Brian and I weren't interested. Then, I got to Fort Lewis and I had an entire company of Soldiers asking me if I was on Facebook. I decided to stay strong but I was getting harrassed from every angle. Even one of my high school friends, who I hadn't heard from in a year, emailed and asked if I was on Facebook. Just keeping up with this blog has been a challenge but I would soon find out the joke was on me...

My good friend, or should I say, the sneaky bastard, Gene, decided he would sign me up for a Facebook account. I got back to the office and my internet page was opened to my own Facebook account. Nice! Gene was having a good laugh especially of the picture he put on the opening page (yes, I'm wearing my super cute goggles). I immediately deactivated the account and felt good that I had been able to divert this disaster.

Once again, the joke was on me the following day at our training meeting. The meeting had almost concluded when someone mentioned that they were glad that I had finally joined Facebook. Of course, I told them I had deactivated the account but they insisted I still had an account. Sure enough, Gene had gone and set it up again. The laugh was definitely on me when he even had a picture of me sitting with him and he had labeled it, "Signing up for Facebook".

I give up! However, beware Gene...


The Culprit!
