I’m working on expanding my Friend network via social media. I don’t necessarily need new friends right now, I just thought I might put myself out there as a possible friend to someone (John Stamos)who might like to have a really really great friend. I’m friendly.
Here’s how I’m working on expanding my friend network (to plus one: Stamos).
Like the rest of the masses I joined Twitter months or years ago. I wasn’t really into it. Mostly I didn’t understand the format. I follow people (John Stamos), got that part. Then when I want to write something about what the people I follow (Stamos) said it comes up as my status? Maybe I don’t want anybody (Stamos) to know that the sole reason I signed up for Twitter was so that I could get in touch with, you know, people (John Stamos). Would it be weird if ALL of my tweets use the little @ sign (@JohnStamos)?
This is just an example of a possible “tweet” one might write.
I’m also doing Instagram. Val mentioned that you could follow people you don’t officially know (Stamos) on Instagram. I did some scavenging around. I found a few people I don’t know, but no one, you know, worth knowing (John Stamos). I guess I’ll follow a few celebrities, just for fun you know? Zac Efron will do (poor Stamos substitute).
Just an example of a possible Instagram search for things you’re interested in that have been #hashtagged.
Then I thought, hey, well, maybe I could just add some new Facebook friends (Stamos). But I guess I’m not spelling people’s names correctly (Stamotopoulos) or maybe they use an alias (Uncle Jesse)? Either way all I can dig up is silly Pages to follow and they always ask me if I want to “Like” the page (yes, I do like John Stamos). Perhaps I should look through my friend’s friend lists to see if we (Stamos and I) might have some common friends that maybe I should add (for the sole purpose of getting to Stamos).
This is an example of a “Page” that people “Like”. There is no “Love” option.
Social media is all about making friends and connecting with people who have things in common with you (Stamos likes Stamos, and so do I). So it’s not weird at all to spend unusual amounts of time looking for new friends and who knows? Maybe even relatives (Uncle Jesse)?
Oh, by the way. Are any of you familiar with that old show Full House? There’s this one character on it that I thought was super cool and had great hair, but I can’t remember his name. Have mercy on me and let me know what he’s been working on and you know, where he’s ended up making a home for himself? I just want to know he’s settled and happy. Just the town and street is fine, I’ll find the right house.
PS, Just kidding. I’m not really stalking you for real, esteemed Mr. Stamos.

I can't believe I have the perfect solution for you. I used to be involved with a charity called Project Cuddle. They rescued babies from the garbage. Can you believe that? And guess who the spokesperson was? John Stamos. I literally got Christmas cards with his picture on them, although he and I never became besties. Maybe he's still involved. Maybe you could join! Forget social media! Get the real deal.
Holy smokes, Circe, I would never have realized that was a cause that needed a project, let alone that the project was there. Thanks for letting us know about it!
I followed you, Lenore. You are my John Stamos. (Consider that I know approximately 0 about John Stamos as you weigh that sentence.)
"Anonymous," let's not talk about our president that way. And I am 95% sure Stamos is a promise keeper.
