no, seriously. i really want to know this.

What's the point of Facebook? It seems to be getting quite popular but I still fail to understand why. You can't really do much with it except turn people into zombies or whateveritis.




I have spent most of the past few hours playing with my new ball winder and yarn swift. They are named Denna and Richard, respectively. I have so far wound most of a ball of yarn; my mind is actually quite calm except for the niggling part that keeps pointing out what else we could have done with those four hours.

I swear if there weren't guilt in the world I wouldn't know what to do with myself.

Adopt one today! Adopt one today!

(the other two wee dragons/eggs are 'hidden' due to sickness.)

Well, I think Facebook can be fun for the games and virtual gifts and goofy stuff like that. And I did actually reconnect with a couple of rl friends through it, though 95% of my friends there were friends here first lol. (Myspace is utterly worthless imo and not fun in the least...) I haven't logged into Facebook for weeks though, I mean it's not like LJ where I want to check it every few minutes day.

...Dragons can get sick? D:

Yes, they can - if you go to their view page and it says something about 'the shell of this dragon is soft like there's somtehing wrong with it' or that the hatchling looks sick and it hasn't eaten and it doesn't move (i forget the exact wording, but whatever) you go to 'actions' and then 'hide'. Leave them hidden until the message goes away. Does that make sense?

Yeah, it does...but does it alert you that they're sick, or do you have to keep reading their description?

You have to keep reading their description.
