Facebook, we hates it preciousss

Several years ago I signed up for facebook as KC Shaw, thinking I probably ought to. But I could never get it to display my name right (it was Kc Shaw, which just looks stupid), so I deactivated the account and signed up as Katherine Shaw. I never used that account either and deactivated it, because Facebook is just stupid. Then a friend convinced me a little over a year ago to sign up for Facebook again, which I did under a third email account as Katherine Shaw. I log in maybe once a month, if that.

Since Facebook won't let you actually delete accounts, just deactivate them, and since I can never remember which account is actually active, I'm forever accidentally reactivating those two old accounts. Today I decided I might as well make the other Katherine Shaw account my 'writer' Facebook page, since the account I've been using is personal--family, old friends, old friends of family. You know, people I don't actually need to stay connected with on Facebook because mostly I see them all the time anyway.

So I reactivated that old account and brought it more or less up to date, and then I went to invite friends. And I only had one person listed who I actually know, a guy who was in my crit group back when I lived (briefly and freezingly) in Pennsylvania. So if you have a Facebook account, I have one too. And this is probably the most pathetic post I've ever written.
