Sidebar FB Friends & Fall Meme

I am wondering why certain people show up in my "random 12 friends" on the Facebook sidebar more often than others. I figure if I have 130 friends, each person should only come up about 1 out of every 10 times I'm on there. It is not the case. Is it because FB thinks I interact with them more? Am I just noticing certain people more?

Yes, I'm "pondering" again. I'm finished now.

If you were to take an e-cation (vacation from the trappings of our electronic world,) and assuming that employment obligations would allow it, how long of a break could you take? What would you miss the most, the least?
I can do about a week. I would miss being "in the know" about news and friends. I would not miss the stress of feeling like I have to be plugged in.

On September 11th of this year, I attended a couple of parties and was somewhat conflicted by the fact that this ignoble anniversary shall pass with it being just another day in the eyes of many (and in some ways my own eyes as well.) Thoughts?
These sorts of days have varying significance to different people. It doesn't bother me that some don't consider it a remarkable day. For me, it should be less an emotional reminder through the years. I suppose it will eventually be just a day to take a moment and remember. Time does that.

How high are your walls? Who was the last person to scale them? What tools should would-be climbers have on their belt?
My walls are pretty low. You'd need only honesty and a sense of humor to hop over them.
