Facebook Observations

[dragonlilyfly]

Anyone else get that, "who? Oh...yuck...YUCK" feeling for some of the names that FB suggest you friend because you went to school together?

Is this just a passing phase for all of us? Like LJ and before that, diaryland?

Is everyone on FB? I mean, SHEESH!

Comments

and..

And before that .plan

Oh, and for a few months there were the AIM profiles that people were changing around!

Re: and..

[dragonlilyfly]

I dunno. I remember .plan being mainly for "snark". I had entire arguments with people over it, but we never said anything in person to each other.

[kbhakkoah]

Yup... there will be another one in the mix there after some time.

I actually don't like FB at all. I only joined to stalk my friend's wife because she had put up some weird stuff. That was like 2 years ago. I basically stopped using it unless people 'friended' me.

[dragonlilyfly]

oh, it's the "new" sensation. Actually, I'm updating that more often than over here, because it takes way less effort. My one liners here would be pretty lame posts.

[wishiwasnt]

I find it works like twitter for the one-liners, but is less annoying.

Also, I removed my high school from my profile when I realized that I really don't want to see those people again.

Ha, luckily I liked almost all of the ppl I went to HS with, but yeah, a couple of people I've been like "bleah!". And an old friend/college roommmte of mine has tried friending me for the second time. Not interested! There were reasons why I cut her off years ago, I do not need to have give her crazy ass access to communicating with me!

[dragonlilyfly]

Wow, didn't get the hint the first time? Could one of the reasons you cut her off was the STALKING?

[yolen]

Ha, no, one of the reasons I cut her off initially wasn't for stalking. It was for being annoying, unreliable, needy, prone to too much damn drama, and pretty nutso. I guess she tried again as someone who I'm still friends with from college added her on FB. I guess it gave her renewed hope. I almost feel bad, but I don't need emails or IMs from her.

[mizerychick]

I hate Facebook. There are few things I want to do less than have people I don't like know the minutiae of my life.

[dragonlilyfly]

But what about the rest? People need to know that you are blowing your nose...

[grayflannelsuit]

Absolutely. I need those nasal clearing updates!!!
