Life is busy. I've got tons of school-work going on, although nothing in particular, just the usual bits. And I just found out that we get Global on the rabbit ears which means that I can watch Heroes and NCIS and House as they come out on the actual TV. I haven't been able to do that in a while so that's really cool! Plus I'm waiting with baited breath for my Stargate season 10 DVDs to arrive, since they are apparently in the mail right now! I am so excited about this that I may burst! (And possibly miss out on the next few readings I'll have to do after they arrive ... I mean, I'm a good student...) I haven't seen the last half of the season yet and I really want to!

Also my uncle just added me on Facebook, which was kinda weird, but he's a really cool guy so I added him back even though I had a moment of worry since most of the picture of me are from parties where I have ... er ... shall we say "imbibed"? I think we shall. (And here we see the humiliating aspect of Facebook for those of University age, our reunions are going to be so embarrassing.) Anyway now his oldest daughter has added me as well. And she's probably twelve or thirteen by now, but in my head she'll always be younger until she's actually an adult. So I don't know whether or not I should add her. On the one hand, I like having amiable relations with the family, on the other hand I don't really want her to see all the obviously drunk pictures of me... (strangely enough I'm not sure I'd have this kind of worry about her younger brother... maybe it's because I like him more?). Anyway do you guys have any thoughts?

Thoughts ... of course I have thoughts.

Limited Profile. For little cousins (and I think she's 11 or 12 - same as Teigan) definitely, whether or not you do it for your uncle.

Facebook sucks relative to LJ in many ways - one is the way more subtle privacy settings on LJ. But Limited Profile helps. And once you get it set up for snoopy cousins, then you can use it later for employers or whatever.

One of my brothers is on FB now, which is also a little weird for me. He's odd himself, in an unshockable kind of way, but still.

I don't have a Facebook, but on MySpace there's a way to filter photos and blog entries so they're only visible to the people you specify...so you can friend someone but not give them access to everything in your profile. Would that be an option here?

Given your past adventures with LJ, caution may be warranted ;-)

You could consult with said uncle who might have an opinion and could also consider that the cousin is using an email address that ends in "_hottie" when writing to her uncles, aunts and grandparents. She may (or may not) be more worldly than you remember ;-)

I was also watching NCIS the other night, but I'm not about to friend you on facebook, so don't get too creeped out...
