I'm pretty sure the what-the-heck-are-you-thinking fairy visited my house last week and sprinkled some crazy dust all over me. Because I'm considering doing two things to which I'm morally opposed: running a triathlon and joining Facebook.
Please advise.

I don't even know who you are anymore.
either one of those things would increase your cool points almost infinitely!!!!!!
I love Facebook, especially once I figured out how to set all the filters and hide/block all the stuff I don't care about.
I would rather poke my eyes out with a spork than run a triathalon, but I wouldn't judge you for it.
Facebook: Not so bad. I even ignore it for days at a time.
running a triathlon? I'd never do it, but if you did I would think you were the most amazing person in the world!
Triathlon: awesome. As long as I don't have to join you.
Facebook: I used it to find some of my old high school pals. Haven't really touched it since.
Facebook is fairly harmless. But a tri? Yeah-just don't.
I'm sorry, but it sounds like you're beyond help. Just considering those things is proof.
But not really. I quite enjoy facebook and love to make random, stupid comments on the status of people who really don't care to hear from me (hello, high school acquaintances!)
if you had to choose ONE of those to do which would it be? That is the true test.
Triathlon - ummm... honey, go see a shrink...
Facebook - well, enjoy yourself for a few weeks, eat off paper plates maybe - and then you can get back to real life. (but friend request us all first!)
I really have enjoyed Facebook, finding old friend and mission buddies. A fun way to see what they are doing. A tri-athalon, I would never do but that is becuase I hate running, the rest of it might not be so bad.
upside of facebook--status updates are like mini-blogging (but faster!)
downside of FB--hugest time suck ever...besides blogging ;) I boycott all the games and most of the applications, and mostly just do status updates/comment on friends' updates.
I would say you're nuts on the triathalon, but that's cuz i'm morally opposed to running. ;)
what the heck. life's short. do both!
Facebook... you can actually ignore it for weeks without dying when you return to it. Whereas a triathlon? If you ignore it for weeks, you probably WILL die once you try to swim! bike! run! again.
(My dad won the Tin Man for his age group back in the early nineties. It's a slightly smaller version of the Iron Man.)
You go, girl. Do it. Do it NOW. Don't wait. Give in to the dark side!
I agree with Steph -- facebook is a great way to reconnect with people you haven't seen in a billion years, but it's a quick fix for those of us who no longer have hours to blog every day. I'm a junkie -- I should know.
And again, like Steph, I would rather do the spork poking thing than run to the mailbox, let alone a triathalon. That's just pure silliness talking -- that or the ridiculous Alaskan altitude.
Do the triathalon, and don't join Facebook. It can become such a time sucker...
2 words: chocolate therapy. That ought to cure you of any desire to run a triathalon or talk to friends on line. But only FB friends. You will always want to talk to bloggy friends, right? RIGHT?!?!
Facebook is not all it's cracked up to be and running a triathlon is like, akin to getting exercise. Not sure why you're considering either... I'm hoping this is just a phase.
Hearken NOT unto the naysayers; Do both, AND LIVE!!!!
(and send us all friend requests :-) )
FACEBOOK!!!!
