I didn't want to tell you guys this... because I've talked a serious load of shit about it...
But,
I got my Facebook account back.
BEFORE YOU JUDGE ME THOUGH- let me tell you why...
Apparently, (well not apparently because I knew it, I just didn't realize so many people I know were aware of it too) I am a huge asshole who makes it infinitely complicated to communicate with. I honestly only communicate with maybe 10 people on a regular basis. And regular means weekly, some of them monthly.
But, after my biological father passed- it was brought to my attention that doing things like NOT having a Facebook page, really pissed some people whom I care about off. Like a lot. I really had no idea that it was such a big deal. But, apparently it is.
Anyway, I got it back and it's been fine. I have made it a point to post NOTHING political (I do not want to fight with anyone) and to keep the status updates to a minimum. I post my liberal crap on TWITTER! (It's better, I don't care what you say!)
I will say, having Facebook has really opened my eyes to petty entertainment. People are fucking CRAZY and it is hilarious! It's like that one car crash metaphor- you shouldn't look but you can't help yourself or whatever. It's that.
It's also a great tool for filtering your social connections. Facebook is allowing me to have have the opportunity to peak into people's lives and ween out the crazies from ever being part of my inner circle. (Huge plus!)

A few trending things I've noticed about Facebook:
If you do this to your friends... you are kind of a dick.
If I have to look through our mutual friends and then through about 25 pictures of you to even slightly realize who the fuck you are, WHY are you sending me a friend request. Bitch, I'm gonna "not now" that shit permanently!
I thought this was a MySpace thing? I am so surprised at how many people randomly post pictures they took of themselves... I have some people who do this DAILY. If you do this, I kind of pity you. No lies. GET A LIFE AND STOP DOING YOUR HAIR AND MAKE UP JUST SO YOU CAN POST IT ON FACEBOOK AND GET 20 COMMENTS ABOUT OMG UR SO SEXY ILY!
I have noticed 2 things since returning to Facebook... Liberals NEVER post anything Political. They keep relatively quiet and respectful on the old book of face in regards to this. There are 2 types of Political Posters on my Mini-Feed: suuuuuper anti-Obama conservatives and crazy ass Ron Paul supporters who do nothing accept post videos of Alex Jones. GET YOUR OWN OPINIONS!
And finally... everyone tries to make themselves look SO COOL:
But, I wish them all nothing but the best in life.
And also, just to clear things up:
Have a wonderful day everyone! Off to Southern Politics I go...
Haha you got sucked back in! I don't blame you, I never escaped...
ReplyDeleteYeah, neither did I. I'm pretty much in it for the long haul. (I've had people friend request me that I barely knew, and ended up keeping them because I found them amusing)
ReplyDeletere: Opinions. My favorite one of those says something along the lines of "You have a right to express your opinion, and I have a right to tell you how fucking stupid it is." or some such thing.
HA! This was the best laugh I've had all week. I love how you write and I can literally hear your voice and amazingly sarcastic humor. Loves.
ReplyDeleteLOLerz. I'm actually giving some pretty intense consideration to making a Facebook fan page for my blog and I loathe everything about Facebook. Really. It's the equivalent of cutting myself open with a rusty blade! I don't want to, but I feel like I have to. UGH.
ReplyDeleteHow very true that political one.
ReplyDeleteOne of my cousins does that self-portrait shit every day. The life of a 14-year-old, I suppose. I almost posted a picture of myself yesterday, but it would have gone along with my tweet about a co-worker asking me to take of my glasses and then telling me I looked "like that guy from The Hangover." As she was referring to Zach Galifianakis, I'm hoping it's because of this beard I've grown and not the abdominal area.
Love it! I always wonder why people add me on FB when they were total bitches to me in high school. Pfft! Screw you, perky cheerleader bitch! Haha!
ReplyDeleteyou found the best ecards about fb!
ReplyDeleteThis is great! You're absolutely right. I stay "friends" with some people just to keep from offending them, but the stuff I see them post is ridiculous.
