NEW MOMS ON THE BOOK...kinda annoying

I think it's safe to say that pretty much anyone who can compose an email is on Facebook. What started out as a college social networking site has become the American friendship connector to your past, present and your future. But when do the friend requests cross the web line? Being a single girl living in New York City, it's nice to have my family on Facebook. I catch up with my cousins, nieces, and nephews. I look at their photos and comment on the mommy and me status updates. The question is though, do I want to do that with Stacey Crisco, mother of three who loves her husband of seven years and all things blue? The same Stacey Crisco who I haven't seen or talked to since 4th grade?? NOT AT ALL. Sorry Stacey.
You see, lately I've noticed an influx of friend requests. What used to be the usual suspects of the random guys I've dated has turned into a mommy brigade. And these are not my real friend's becoming new mothers. No, these are the mom's I went to elementary school with, who I have not uttered a word to since our fourth grade graduation. So, why would I want to be your friend, mom? New moms are eager to be on Facebook. It's the 15 minute escape from reality, also know as motherhood, only to talk about, you guessed it - motherhood. I'm proud that your a mom. In fact, if you're happy you're a mom, I'm happy for you. I just don't want to see your status updates about the next time you plan on breastfeeding or know when you posted 250 family photos of everyone in that traditional "say, Facebook" pose. You know the one. The straight line of people with their arms wrapped around each other's shoulders in size order all smiling directly towards the camera. And I don't care to see your comments about arranging playdates and nanny horror stories. So, for all the new moms out there on Facebook, here's a clue:
Next time you go to friend someone you haven't seen or talked to in over 18 years and this person has no kids and lives in a different city than you, rethink it. Because in the end, we are both two very different people. Two people who would never be friends in the real world and on Facebook.

The Best Excuse Ever!?!
you'll never believe what happened to me last night.
here's what happened:
earlier in the day, Frank, Alex and I went to the "Battle of the Marching Bands" at Tad Gormley stadium.
I thought frank would love it, bc of how much he loves the bands in the parades. so it was my idea.
it was supposed to be 12 bands from local schools in nola. like st.aug, easton, etc.
so..
we got tickets ahead of time, and we went.
well, upon arrival it becomes clear that we are 3 of maybe 12 white people there and thousands of black people.
but we're cool. whatever, we love marching bands.
it started out lame, then got really fun.
soldja boy was there performing, along with Doug E. Fresh. and others.
by the end, everyone was on their feet in the packed stands, dancing and singing along, etc.
well, we were getting cold and thinking we would leave a little before it was over. it was dark.
so, we got up to leave and went down under the stands, like in the concession area.
there was a ton of people down there and we started milling around in the crowd, watching the "fashion show" that is was to see all those people there and making our way to the exit gate.
when suddenly the entire crowd started running and screaming from behind us!
so frank grabbed my hand and we started running too.
it was madness!
ever seen that movie Cloverfield?
yeah. kinda like that.
while running for our lives, frank and I and a bunch of people in this one spot fell. we got trampled by other people running over us. ambush. madness.
i skidded on my right hip. cement on skin. scrape. bruise.
i lost both my shoes.
we got back up and kept running. barefoot.
we didn't hear gun shots, but everyone was ducking and running low. screaming.
finally, we hid behind some cement columns, but we were still in the gate. no easy way out.
then, another wave of people screaming and running, so we ran again! up back into the stands, where the show had stopped and the fear was spreading. then again, after a short moment to breath.
another wave of running! people started rushing the field. jumping the stands, running across the field.
other people were just standing in bewilderment.
so, we jumped over the bars and ran across the field too.
found another gate at the far end of the field.
so, with a small crowd we fast-walked out that gate.
the whole time, saying, what the fuck!?!
cops looking like idiots.
nobody knowing whats going on.
we got the fuck out of there.
walked back to the car.
my hip bleeding. me limping.
somehow ALex kept up with me and Frank and we didn't lose each other.
we were freaked out.
drove home slow.
nothing on the news or internet about it.
super weird.
we went back to Alex and Sarah's house and made dinner.
we were too freaked out to go out after that.
especially to the saint. coudn't be in a crowd.
uh.
i've never been in a situation like that.
it was crazy.
I'm fine though. frank cleaned me up when we got home. just a scrape/bruise on my hip.
more later.
got to go to the studio now.
love,
bec
