I agree that Facebook's status update system is superior to Twitter. Facebook is so cluttered with photos, notes, lame ass gifts, applications, advertisements, event requests, and a downright horrendous design, that I'd rather hold on to that tuna fish sandwich i just ate and go to Twitter. Just give the Twits time. they'll come around. Nice work! I agree that Facebook’s status update system is superior to Twitter.

Because I have known you since, like, 6th grade or something... and you should have been writing snarky prose then. In fact, I think you were. They were just not published. You got any material from circa 8th grade in Ms. Post's anthropology class? Because that would be mint. By the way... I married a journalist. Emily…. when will your book be coming out?

I promise not to abuse this trust, and further promise to exercise loving restraint even if Emily reveals to me that she is friends with Sarah Palin. Bravo to commentator Phil Miller for his dark but insightful hint that Dad may have a number of potentially scandalous indiscretions in his pre-Facebook memory lock'd.

This involves censorship but also a letting go of the more comfortable, guarded versions of ourselves that we put out there. Ultimately, we realize that exposing ourselves is not only a way to truly connect with people but also, kinda not that big of a deal.

By your age, either a dad is trusting and accepting or not. You probably haven't done that many things that are shocking by comparison to the things he did when he was your age. Conditional love has its place in child-rearing, perhaps, but unconditional love is what works between a mature adult offspring and his/her parent. So trust him to accept you.
