i’ve caved

It’s true. I’m on Facebook. I’m allowing myself to hate myself and everybody else for at least several days. And maybe more. I’m under a fake identity which, for now, is Tracey Credit-Union. Well, it was Tracey Banks and then I thought about banks and got mad, so there you have it. Look me up and mock me, if you will.

I’ll be changing my name regularly. For as long as my foray into FB even lasts.

I’m already feeling itchy about it.

  1. cindy — We’ll see. I have concerns about the privacy issues. I don’t like feeling “out of it” or whatever, but I can’t say I’m feeling “YAY, Facebook!” either.

    I’m wary. I think I’ve earned it, though.

  2. hahahahaha

    Facebook may flag you as a nutball if you change your name too often. I, however, will follow you wherever you go. You could be Tracey Indian-Trading-Station next.

  3. i understand tracey. you have earned your wariness a thousand times over. you are still in my prayers. i travel so much i have a lot of quiet time

  4. I think I should be Tracey Sheen.

    And, good grief, Facebook. Who cares if a person changes her name? It’s her business, isn’t it? It’s still all tied to the same email, right? See, I don’t like that.

    Sheila — Hahahahaha. Tracey Jar of Pennies. Oooh, Tracey Piggybank.

    MB just said “Tracey Coin Purse” which …. sounds like a double entendre to me.

  5. Well, there are these horror stories about people impersonating other people which (if you think about it) would be easy to do.

    Although I think it is safe to assume that there isn’t another Tracey Credit-Union out there.

  6. I completely understand.

    If you ever want someone to walk you through the 50 million insanely paranoid settings you can create – let me know. I have a love/hate relationship with facebook. I love staying in touch with people, but I get completely unhinged about how much info to share / to not share… Resulting in my privacy settings being a complex customized web (my 2nd cousin in South Carolina can’t see half the things my girlfriend who’s known me since I was eleven can.). 😀

  7. RT — I tweeted for about 2 weeks. I wasn’t in the right frame of mind to do that at the time, I think.

    Marisa — Yeah. I’m paranoid. I’ll admit it. I don’t trust what Facebook may do with my information if I were on there as “the real me.”

    Lynne — Hahahahahah.

  8. You’re a braver woman than I am, for sure, Tracey. And I will sign up for Marisa’s paranoid settings class as soon as I have the nerve to take the plunge. Which could be in the next couple months.
