3 days after drinking the Kool-Aid

I am 3 days into my experiment.  Project Facebook.  Here are my findings thus far.

day 1- sent 1 friend request and received 16 requests
day 2-sent 1 friend request and received 10 requests
day 3- sent no friend requests and received 7 requests

Interesting. . .  

I have checked it each day and reset my privacy settings 3 times to get them right .  (mildly annoying)
I had a dream last night in which Facebook came up (mildly annoying)
The first 16 friends were welcoming and "so glad you joined us" in nature (very sweet)
The next 17 seem to take the tone "finally! what took you so long" (extremely annoying)
I have one friend request from a person whom I do not know.  Not sure what to do with that?
Have discovered 2 fringe friends (those whom I have not seen in over a decade who seem to post multiple times a day.  (one is interesting and the other is mildly annoying)
Have discovered 2 different fringe friends who it was nice to reconnect with them however I don't know if I will want to keep up the relationship for any length of time.  (jury is still out on this one)
Discovered messaging is the only way to talk privately (glad I didn't post anything scandalous in a reply to someone's post, that would have been embarrassing)
There does seem to be some pressure to post pictures (stressful)
***Most interesting discovery, those Facebook fanatics in my life almost seem annoyed to help me and usually just make me move and take over. 

We shall see if this is worth continuing, in the 3 days I have thought of shutting it down 2 times.  That does not seem like a promising start.  But I made a commitment to try for a month so let the countdown continue.
