Facebook is the gateway drug. I’m now on Twitter. And Twitter makes Facebook seem like the good old days.

Thanks for your ongoing gift of sharing your experiences with readers, especially your relationships. My teenage daughter is the wiser for it. We are both looking forward to reading your new book, and are especially excited about learning How to Spot an Asshole.

I have avoided Facebook up to now, but you being there will make the plunge worthwhile.

I know I’m late to this announcement, but I’ve been battling slow internet service. Before my upgrade, your site wouldn’t load. There you’d stare, unblinking, until I had to jump on task manager and shut you down. So yay — I think I can go back to being a harmless groupie from afar. I promise I don’t fit the pyscho bill, though you sent me a copy of “The Pyscho-Ex Game” when I won one of your shelf-cleaning extraganzas — hmm.

As for your Facebook news, now I’m in a quandry. I was just thinking about pulling the plug on Facebook (I’m cyber-shy). Perhaps I’ll hang-in a bit longer.

Anyway, congratuations on the book. I’ll be among the pre-orderers.

Well, that explains the dream I had last night, wherein people kept pointing at me and saying “Markoe Rapture!”

I guess it’s surveillance for me!

Everyone who was already my Facebook friend will be de-friended. Then I will have my staff of private detectives do what they do best. And depending on the collected data, or dossier as I like to call it, I will re-friend. But this time it will be much friend-ier than before. The annoying psychos among you will be placed in a separate category that involves 24 hour surveillance. My close friend Steve Jobs has assured me that this will be no problem.

I’m all pre-ordered and I can’t wait to read your essays. November seems like half a year away, doesn’t it? But you know how time passes at the same rate all the time so when the time comes, it will probably feel like it’s been six months or so.

Question regarding your new Facebook friend policy and annoying psychos – those of us who were your friend before you stated these guidelines…will we be grandfathered in?
