Maybe cumaeansibyl is right and I should come back over here.

Ways to guarantee I no longer read/specifically hide your posts on FB

I have seen so much less of all this now that everyone seems to have decided that it's what Facebook is for.

I wish Google+ would take off better. I kinda wanted Facebook to work out. I really did. But it's all lies!

I can't even get the creepazoid stalker feed on the right side of the page so I can know every time one of my "friends" reads an embarrassing article on WaPo or listens to Bieber because I don't have enough friends. So I'd have to add MORE people to this vortex of suck in order to fully explore the suckiness of the suck-vortex. It's so DEMORALIZING.

Please do come back over here. I only lurk on FB, and that very rarely.

I may have to re-learn how. I feel as though Facebook has removed my ability to communicate in anything between a blurt and a thesis.

I know, I keep looking for the "like" option, then I'm disappointed when I remember I have to actually write something.

FB drives me nuts. If it's not "Thank Jesus!" for every little thing, it's constant "I love my honey SOOOOO MUCH!! We're SO VERY MARRIED! We're MORE MARRIED THAN ANYONE! No one has a love as amazing as ours!"

(And don't get me started on the women whose sole identity is Jayden's Mommee, or whatever. I mean, I love my kids, but there's a lot more to me than having spawned.)

I realized and commented the other day that the main reason I still read and enjoy Facebook is for the news feeds and people I don't know. Most of the people I've actually met/know drive me batty, and ostensibly they're the ones for whom I created a Facebook account.

Strangely enough, though it's usually those Jayden's Mommeeeeeeeee types who drive me nuts, all of the parents on my FB are wonderful parents with adorable kids I love reading about. I think I subconsciously and pre-emptively filtered out parental-crazies early on, knowing how much that would annoy me, but now I've been further exposed to all this other brand of crazy.

Now any time I see a post that is "LOOK AT THIS PICTURE OF MY BABY SLEEPING," it's not a child. It's not a pet. It's a significant other. Um. Thanks for sharing.

Every time I say how blessed I am or how wonnnnnerful my hub is, something shitty happens. So I've definitely stopped. And I never said it that much in the first place lol

I have to hide a lot of people who have new babies. Too many damn pictures. And before they have them they want to tell everyone how dilated they are. WTF happened to "baby will be here any day now???" If I wanted all the flavor of having a kid I'd HAVE one!!!

See also, using the word "hubby." Ever.

Word UP.
