SILLY KOOKY FACEBOOK

[Ωbright]

I finally joined. I already despise it.

Hey! There's some of my old friends! And hey! They're still friends with A BUNCH OF PEOPLE THAT I HATE! Yay! There's that guy that stole all of my crap! There's that guy that went around telling everybody I was obsessed with him, when I actually couldn't stand him! There's that other guy that did the same exact thing! There's that guy that only hung out when he needed a place to drink!

[EDIT] OH GOD...THERE'S MY ENTIRE GRADE SCHOOL CLASS. What have I DONE? KILL ME.

I sent friend requests to people that I still liked, and now it's only a matter of time before those other guys try to swirl me up in their newest can of worms and coat me liberally in slime.

Accept their inevitable friend invites = DRAMA.
Reject their inevitable friend invites = DRAMA.

YUCK. PEOPLE.

...but you guys are cool so add me. (Loren Hall)

No man! I swear, it was MyFace! It is evil and it KNEW.

Oh, and I AM working on the cover! I have a lot of time right now while I'm still waiting for the last food survey results to come in.

Re: STUPID RETARDED FACEBOOK

I sent you an invite.

*Insert somewhat topical reference to South Park's recent episode about Facebook here*

Re: STUPID RETARDED FACEBOOK

That was YOU! You are the one who likes Radiohead, Harvest Moon, and something about farms.

I NOW KNOW ALL ABOUT YOU.

And OH GOD... If you send one friend request, you get "HI! Here are 27 more people that you haven't thought about in 30 years, like that girl that got stung by a bee on her leg in Ms. Cordle's room and sent you a note one day saying 'I really like you, but people would be less mean to you if you would wear penny loafers and izods and crap.'!"

I went to a private school.

MAKE IT STOP.

I might need to make a request to have this thread moved to the PG because I'm about to have a midlife crisis and I'd like to use some explatives.

[EDIT] And NO, I DON'T want to 'poke Julia'.

Re: STUPID RETARDED FACEBOOK

No offense, but now you're starting to sound a bit neurotic.

Look, I (kinda) felt the same when I first joined up (actually I didn't really care about it at all), but the pain dulls, trust me.

Worst case scenario, you end up like me where one of your closet friends (though you love them to bits) tries to push her newfound heavy liberalism onto you by sending you links every other day to government follies in articles while you try your hardest to support her. (Even though she JUST adopted this lifestyle and kinda acts a little bit high and mighty.)

...Did I say that out loud?

Why'd you join up with Facebook, by the way. (Actually, me and my film crew kinda communicate through it.)

Re: STUPID RETARDED FACEBOOK

YOU HAVE NO IDEA.

Midlife. Crisis.

I joined because of my good friend Meghan. I'm friends with her and her brother and sister. They ALL have been on me to join. THEN THEIR MOM started in on me. I resisted for a long time, but I really got to missing Meghan last night and caved.

Now all of Darlington Lower School wants to chat with me RIGHT NOW.

Just wait until you're almost 40...YOU'LL SEE.

Re: STUPID RETARDED FACEBOOK

naw when we're almost 40 we'll be used to being connected with not-really-friends from middle school

Re: STUPID RETARDED FACEBOOK

I have the facebook

im scared of it and never check it though

so that kinda puts a damper on things too

Re: STUPID RETARDED FACEBOOK

Okay, I'm not going to rant about this any more.

It's really kinda hard to explain exactly how I feel, or what's happening to me, but I'm gonna go do it somewhere else.

Sorry.

Re: STUPID RETARDED FACEBOOK

You can make a "Note" about it on Facebook.

Re: STUPID RETARDED FACEBOOK

D'OHH!!



Originally I was just trying to make light of a bad situation with humor. I didn't want to turn this into a 'watch Obright freak out live' topic. I wasn't taking it seriously, and I didn't want other people to take it that way. I was just trying to work through it all because it was kinda overwhelming, and I thought someone might understand what I was feeling.

And give me a break... it's not like I freak out every day.

Re: STUPID RETARDED FACEBOOK

I also dislike facebook. people I hate send me friend requests all the time. people I don't know send me friend requests. facebook constantly pesters me to add people as friends just because some of my friends know them. when I do add a friend, I have to see a few dozen notifications from their stupid games show up on my page. MY DAD IS MAKING BUTTER. HE NEEDS INGREDIENTS.

Re: STUPID RETARDED FACEBOOK

I sent you a friend's request Valk.
