Of course, all of this makes for incredibly entertaining gossip among roommates at three in the morning, as well as hours of fun playing the Facebook Game two years later, when you count the number of people you've met on each page.

My mom wanted to drive by Kirkland when she picked me up for spring break and has already read the Kirkland facebook cover to cover. It is nice that she now knows the biographies of all the resident tutors, but it is also noteworthy that she hasn't spoken with or heard about my proctor in months.
