25 Random Things- Facebook strikes again with something so addicting you just can't stay away

Posted by Allison Kukla

If you haven't heard of the "25 Random Things" note that seems to be everywhere, then you are either a)not on Facebook, b) live such a productive life that you don't check Facebook religiously, or c) a combination of the two.

If you want a better idea of what it is, check out this NYT article:

I have to admit, I love the idea of having the freedom to share 25 random things about myself without feeling awkward doing it. For example, no. 10 on my list is that I once had a dream about going on vacation to catch salmon with my bare hands and now I am obsessed with the prospect of going on vacation to do just that.

Although this is a very strange and random fact, I have a secret purpose for divulging this information- that someone will know exactly where I can catch salmon unaided by any conventional tool without getting tossed into ye olde gaol for violating some fish and game law.

I'm still waiting for one of my Facebook "friends" to come through on that one. Until then, this was a fun exercise and further proof that perhaps the world isn't getting less personally connected because of technology.
