The Facebook Experiment

I truly enjoy when Facebook peoples come up with fun ideas!  The latest is as follows:

"Facebook experiment - if you are reading this, even if we don't speak often, POST A COMMENT with a memory of you and me.  When you've finished, post this paragraph on your own status and you'll be surprised at what people remember about you!"

My friends and family posted as follows:

Tiffany - Front door. No keys. Nuff said.
(We locked ourselves out of the house one night going out for a late night snack. Ended up paying a locksmith $90 to get back in the house.  I think it was 2:30 in the morning.)

Amanda - Playing Gone With the Wind with Barbies and making carriages for them out of shoe boxes.  And calling Rob "Maid Marian".
(Yeah, my bedroom was the Bermuda Triangle of scissors and tape when I played Barbies with my sister.  The Rob thing, well he's my brother and he called me "Christmas Karyl" - we're even.)

Tiffany - "Before you say anything it's not that bad and we can clean it up" followed by a pissed off stomping walk around campus.
(I have very rarely seen her that pissed! And it was funny, mainly because it wasn't directed at me. The reason? Well that's a 30 year story, it's only been 13 years since graduation.)

Kris - I still have a blanket that you crocheted. It is made up of lots of different colors and I keep it on my bed to this day.  I think of you whenever I remake my bed.
(I was kind of known for my afghans in college.  I crocheted to relieve stress.  I couldn't possibly use all the afghans I made, so I gave them away.  Some friends made requests, but most just kind of came along and took an orphan home.  This particular afghan has a defect.  Toward the end of the pattern - which is still a favorite btw - I insisted on using a particular color that I didn't have enough of.  To strech out the color, I adjusted the stitch instructions by skipping every other stitch.  Because of this adjustment, the afghan will not lay flat.  It "hugs" who ever is under it.  Kris claimed it because of the "hugging" - if I remember things properly.) 

Sandy - Holding two very special gifts from you and Paul for the very first time Amber and Robert.
(My kids are a gift to me too, sometimes I just forget.  And Mom has the prespective of being the Ama and spoiling them shamelessly!)

Tina - glass elevators.
(Well they are the fastest elevators and have the best view! And that's all I have to say about that!)

Gloria - Wikiki Beach - Gold Award
(We spent the night at downtown hotel before the GS Gold Award Banquet.  The Moms stayed out too late)

Miguel - gaming in a 3rd floor classroom of Ketner Hall!
(I wonder if that was the time I thought I saw a ghost)

Tiffany - One more: showing up at Myrtle unannounced where everyone knew I was coming but you!
(The year we turned 30.  Paul, Tiffany, and my parents arranged this.  Proof positive that I married a sweet sweet man and have a great great friend and great great parents!)

Nicole - singing Girl Scout songs, drunk, in front of Woodson.
(There is a wall in front of Woodson Dorm that is perfect for drunken catterwalling.  I'm pretty sure I did that a couple of times while residing there.)

I was genuinely surprised and touched by the people who commented and the memories they shared! Thanks again friends!!
