I know you guys know about facebook, but I thought I share my experiences with you about some of the LU basketball players on fb.
Yesterday, I send invites to Bill Weaver, Jeremy Anderson, and Austin Smith. All 3 of them accepted my friend invite. This morning, I checked my fb account to see if there were any more March b-day reminders because I have about 20 fb friends w/ March b-days. Jeremy and Austin have the same birthday as me and Bill's b-day is two days from ours! Needless to say I was quite surprised about this because I never clicked into their profiles before extending an invite. Anyway...
On another note, I have a cousin who plays for the U of MD. He accepts just about anyone on fb. Jacory Harris of the U is the same way. Both of them have quiet, cool, calm, and collected demeanors. All athletes are different. To give you an example, I was denied by Seth not once, but twice on fb like an Alonzo Mourning shot block! Believe it or not, I wasn't disappointed about it. I kind of figured that because I am not a regular on campus student (I take classes online from LU), he didn't know me enough and is cautious about who he invites. I respect that considering that 1) he seems like a private person, 2) the media attention that his big bro got last year has boosted his own maybe unwanted popularity, and 3) there is an Anti-Seth fb group out there. I am wondering if the people who started that group were denied friendship by Seth as well. Hmmm.....

In any event, I mainly didn't think it had anything to do with basketball. No disrespect intended. I hope you stay. Your skin gets thicker after hanging around here for a while, and that's a good thing IMHO. Actually, the part of your post that "inspired" my comment wasn't the birthdays, it was the stuff about who accepted and rejected you as a "friend". Go back and read it yourself and see what you think.
who unlike many of my peers has resisted participating in the facebook/myspace thing. I just had a close friend who is several years older than me (66) and lives overseas ask me to join and be his friend as an easy way to stay in touch, and I'll probably do it when I feel inspired.
No harm, no foul! lol. I have thick skin. Trust me, after all the anti-Obama posts on here, I learned that you can't take things too personal. But uh, you gotta admit it was way too early in the morning to joke like that bro...I mean seriously....waaaaayyyyy too early!
