Why Facebook is useful

[yendi]

Thanks to The Social Network*, I've learned that A) 'song's birthcousin (who I've known since he was thirteen, some twelve years back) is engaged (finally!**), and B) that an old friend of mine (someone I roadtripped with to Megacon a long time ago, before 'song and I were even seeing each other) is now a brand new dad.

*I mean, it was the first place online where you could share news with people, add "friends," and meet new people, right? So it surely deserves that title.

**They've been dating for at least seven years, and seeing as she's almost as much a part of his family as he is, I'm both happy and relieved.**
