the one redeeming thing about facebook

I'm at work. I'm at work and no one is here. It's a slow day. I'm awaiting the theater companies coming in for their rehearsals because until then I really will have nothing to do... And so what am I doing? Perusing Facebook (and procrastinating my life), satisfied that a 24-hour 'bout of melancholy,' as my lovely wife would say (wife being my nickname for my best friend), perfectly suffices for a day of lower than average spirits.

And so, it was in this time-wasting-way that I came across my lovely wife's Facebook page. I was content skimming what she'd listed as her favorite books and movies (counting which were truly her favorite and ones she wished were) when I came across her interests and saw this:

"spending time with thea - the love of my liiiiiiiife who counsels and consoles and makes me laugh until i cry"

AWW! Bout if melancholy over! And Facebook provided the medium!

And for this reason alone, I am no longer ashamed (as I normally would be) for wasting time on Facebook. The mini-feed may make stalking easy and the applications may suck up valuable time, but at least good ol' FB is good for something. ;)
