How did we survive before this?

This whole myspace/facebook age is amazing (how old does that make me sound??) Apparently I signed up for facebook awhile ago and totally forgot about it. My old college roommate who I haven't spoken to in forever found me on it. Then I found a few more old college and high school friends and then more found me through them. And myspace totally rocks my extremely nosy world. I get pretty annoyed when people mark theirs private though. Why shouldn't total strangers have access to your life (just kidding). It's all really pretty neat. How the heck did we survive before this? Oh yeah - something to do with paper and stamps and way too much work...
