Better Than Facebook

Yesterday, I was thinking about how much I enjoy phone calls. I had received a wonderfully random phone call the night before and was still in awe of how much I miss real conversation with my friends back home. Yes, I see people everyday, but this summer has been full of IM, texting, and Facebook since I have been so far from my closest friends. I've become a facebook junkie.

Today, I jokingly asked one of those friends back home, Ben Reed, "What's better than facebook!?" What he began to do was the highlight of my day. My buddy Ben began to make a list of things that were better than facebook... and I made my own. Here is our master list. Enjoy.

And indulge in them.
