TJ Thyne

I am on facebook - and friends with TJ too.

Think it's very cool that someone would make themselves available to their fans in that way.

I commented on his status once and quickly regretted it.

Everytime someone else commented I got a notification. :/

Oops!

I don't feel banned from it. David has grown up a lot at uni and already talks to his aunt regularly on FaceBook, so I don't think he'd mind especially. But the same things apply as to MySpace. I get about an hour if I'm lucky per evening on the comp. That's used up doing school research and preparation, keeping up with emails and maintaining and reading this and my other, support, site. Eating, marking and a little bit of telly occupy the rest of the time. I have two choral rehearsals per week too. Occasionally go out with my partner, but family socialising in general, forget it. Why do you think I don't have an LJ? Don't blog? I love writing and used to be a very good diarist; no time now.

I would love to have enough day to create and update a little page of my own. But not being able to keep it up would frustrate me. So would the constant demands of people dropping by just to say hi. That sounds churlish, but it's not meant to; I like to have proper conversations with my friends! I am not of the textminded generation, though I can do it with the best of them. And then there are the people who find you that you wouldn't particularly want as 'friends', probably including a lot of those I have taught in recent years. Maybe some time in the future....I don't discount it. But for now...networking isn't really my thing. I am sad that I don't have that casual TJ access, but it's not enough to tip the balance at present, girls.

Maybe. Life is tending not to feel much fun at the moment though *glances round at chaotic state of surroundings and pile of waiting admin and oral exam tapes to mark*. Sigh. Back to the treadmill.

I'm on facebook too...I can't say I'm much into the apps though.One of my best friends is online 24-7,usually on pet society.
What I like is how easy it makes it to be in touch with people.I actually found some classmates of mine I had completely lost touch with.
So TJ accepts fans in his original facebook page?Well,that is cool!Although I wouldn't feel comfortable requesting him...

I understand the crunch for time, Steph. The great thing about Facebook is that it requires no setting up, and a photo is optional. It's generally quick to read your friends' updates, and just as quick to shoot off a quick response. But I'll stop pestering you about it for now...

I added him as a friend on Tuesday and he accepted me today. Strangely enough, I just kind of feel like a stalker

EDIT: I was going to ask if we're sure that it's really him running that facebook account, but then I saw all the candid photos.

I totally agree with you Sharon.When I saw how many friends he has I realised it isn't a big deal to him,so I requested him as well.
And I think what he does is great,giving his fans access to his everyday life.It's not like anyone could blame him if he wanted to stick to people he actually knows.

I've been tempted to add him, but it freaks me out that I might feel like a sort of stalker. xD I already kind of stalk this show enough with all of my psychotic blogging that I do! LOL But I so want to see little baby TJ with his curls and big blue eyes. I bet he was one of those kids that you stopped and thought, "He's gonna be a heart-breaker some day!"

I will think about it longer.... haha. xD

So Mama, did you ever join facebook? See the baby TJ??
Had to share TJ's update from facebook tonight...poetic as always...

Tj Thyne Spent the eve, below the fire cracking skies, of the cutest of anywhere-usa towns nestled deep in the tree lined neighborhoods of a place called new and jersey. Thanks brother Tone! Had lots of fun with you and the fam. Happy 4th everyone! Happy of all independence days.

I did join! And he finally accepted me, which is great. You know, I don't recall seeing any baby pictures of him! Sad. I'll go back and look again!

TJ: "working with Habitat for Humanity and reclaimed spaces in the hopes of creating a community of homes for temporary living of families in transition here in our city of lost angeles. Happy Friday everyone!"


Wow, that's great! You're quite the inspiration, TJ.
