Creating a Facebook Addict

It's been almost a year, I think since I joined facebook after my friend Adela kept talking about it and telling me about her fun. (funny thing is, my parents joined before me because my brother, who was in Russia, was posting pictures on facebook, so they wanted to see them!) I've been telling Phil since then that he should join. He had an account previously, but forgot to change it over when he moved from Ithaca College and no longer had that account. He's been resisting it completely. Earlier this week, I was showing him something on my account during lunch, and he was surprised at all their was to do, see, and check out. The other night, I came home and found him on the computer...on facebook, none the less!

Last night, I kept trying to get him to go to bed (much as he does to me each night) and he said, "You've made an addict out of me!" I just laughed and said that I knew I would. He is now enjoying finding friends he hasn't talked to since elementary and high school.

I have yet to get him addicted to packrat, but he was playing scrabble!
