First of Twenty-Three!

OK - Not sure if this counts, although I suppose I'll find out in class tomorrow night. I actually signed up for facebook for the first time. Funny story here: I actually did it to locate some lyrics to a song I have really loved over the years. The song is from the movie Swept from the Sea; it was meant to be the theme song but it was apparently (per IMDB.com) cut ("swept from the flick"?) from the final credits. The song is called "To Love and Be Loved".

Anyway - the lyrics were nowhere to be found online. I did a bit of quick research, and found out who sang the song (which was written by John Barry, with lyrics by Tim Rice). Her name is Corina Brouder; I found that she was on Facebook, so I thought maybe I'd just ask her directly if she could share the lyrics!! So, I went to Facebook, and set up an account (I used my two dogs' names, instead of my real name... ) and then messaged her! I figured, what could I lose?

Here's the really cool part: she e-mailed me right back, and is going to actually send me the lyrics!! I also have my first "facebook friend". :>)

Pretty good, right?! Like I said, I'm not sure if this will count for one of my 6 things, but it was something I'd never done before, and I think it does go to show that SOMETIMES you've got to go right to the source for information when you can't find it!!! And certainly social networking sites like Facebook can facilitate that.

Cheers
