A picture of me and my 8th grade girlfriend (she was in 9th!) showed up recently. I actually was happy to see it. I have just allowed my name to be seen by people who aren't my friends on Facebook. When I signed up you still had to be affiliated with a school/university and I just didn't want to deal with it. I checked it out mostly to see what my tech-happy friends were so excited about. It creeped me out when a female out-of-town friend asked me to dinner as a comment on my status. Today a student, whom I don't know well, asked me if I was on facebook. I don't think I'm ready for students-who-aren't-really-friends to be my facebook friends. Well, I had to check the picture and, no, really, it’s not bad at all.
