And I have to admit I have survived admirably. It’s toughest when I need some technical help and I can’t just post a status message that’d get virtually instant help from one of my very many geek Facebook friends. I have also lost touch with some people that I really felt like being in touch with by just occasionally checking their walls.
But it’s much cooler around birthdays, because I have reverted to sending congratulatory emails and getting an actual response back is much cooler than just getting a “Like!” to my “Congratulations!”. Much more personal.

I strongly doubt that I will be thinking the same when my birthday comes around…
