Be Careful With Facebook

The other day was Sean's birthday and we had a birthday party for his after the first interdepartmental basketball game. The Foreign Language team was matched up against probably the best team in the first game and even though they played pretty well they lost. Sarah ordered party subs from the new Subway that just opened up downtown. They don't do real part subs exactly so they basically just delivered a large number of traditional subs. I think it actually took two people to bring them all. Sarah also made cupcakes which were great. Sarah invited a number of people both with a mass e-mail. But when she was trying to invite Ken girlfriend she got the address a little wrong. She had been friended on Facebook a little while ago by someone she thought was Ken's girlfriend. But it turns out while the name of the person who friended her was similar it was slightly different. Instead of Ken's girlfriend Sarah had invited a teacher in the Foreign Language department. In fact Sarah had been having a conversation with her for a while thinking she was Ken's girlfriend. This other woman the teacher even showed up which was fine. She was actually someone I had met before around campus. Still I've never heard of someone being accidentally invited in the US.
