How do you become an active Facebook user again without looking like a needy loser?

[Christina]

If I had a friend who wasn't active in Facebook for a while and they came back, I wouldn't think, "what a loser", I'd think "yay!" because obviously I'd be on Facebook, too. That's what it's for - to use it and keep in contact with people. Just come back and make a joke status update like "*dusts off the cobwebs* and your friends will "like" it and say things like "finally!", etc. etc.

Also, post random, funny thoughts or observations and tag yourself out at places if you have a SmartPhone, etc. Just ease back into it.
