I am not a huge fan of Facebook, either, although I am on it. I have to admit I recently reconnected with a number of my childhood friends/acquaintances, including my first serious boyfriend (I actually saw him about 15 years ago, though, so it's not like I had no knowledge of his whereabouts). One of the things that was hard about moving in the middle of high school is that I basically have had no connection with any part of my childhood, despite the fact that I now live about 20 miles from my hometown. I've had 2-3 discrete parts of my life and Facebook has helped bring them together. But, I don't use it to keep up with my family; I actually... gasp... call my dad and brother, who are in San Diego. I have to tell my almost 86 year old dad to check his email if I send a link with pictures.
