Now that I've gotten that out of the way, I can get to the reason I'm writing today. Yesterday after the final, I was talking to Sabrina, who is also in the class, and I found out that when she was about 12, she started a Facebook page called Shakespeare Quotes. Here's the amazing thing: she has almost 60,000 followers!
This came up because I mentioned that I have a bunch of Facebook friends through Marvel Puzzle Quest from all over the world. There are at least 4 other alphabets used in names on my friends list, and the only reason these people are there is to get extra Iso-8 (one of the currencies in MPQ). A few times a day you get extra rewards to share with your friends, so many players try to get on as many friend lists as they can. Here's the sad thing: I only have about a hundred of these players on my list, and I thought I was doing good. Of course, I haven't been on Facebook anywhere near as long as she has, but still . . . it makes me feel like I'm somehow not doing everything I should. Which is crazy. I don't really want tons of people on my list; I already get plenty posts I don't want from my actual friends and family without getting ones from people I have no real knowledge of.
I know there's no logical comparison here, since it's not her personal page. I think maybe I felt so deflated because I'm jealous that I didn't think of doing something like that when I was a kid, too, which is just goofy.
