Facebook and I? We have a bit of an interesting relationship. By "interesting," I mean that Facebook semi-rules my life, and I allow it to — for multiple reasons. The main reason we remain so close is that when I want to procrastinate from doing work, or cleaning, or paying bills, or any of the normal things that inspire procrastination, there is Facebook. Waiting for me always.

Yes, I know that some of you are avowedly against social networking sites or think that Myspace is better (ha!), but I also know that some of you are just like moi, even if you won't admit it. Anyway, our friends at Jossip have come up with a handy Facebook survey for you to take.

Great procrastination material.

I actually did read it, and will be sharing my thoughts with you on it a bit later.

After the jump, peruse her astute party observations, which cover everything from Kimora Lee Simmons formidable height, to gift bags, to Nigel Barker, noted fashion photographer.
