I used to be against facebook, after the whole myspace debacle I couldn’t be fucked creating a facebook account, I thought why bother? I can’t use Myspace, I don’t need another useless thing to check up on... But I had a mate returning to London, and he knew I wasn’t big on emails, so he convinced me to join... I will give him this, it is easier to use then myspace. But i have come to the realisation that facebook... WILL BE... the DEATH of Me!!!
At first it was like wow cool, a new toy, easy to use and you can find your friends and can have a giggle. The of course people from your high school and primary school start tracking you down... this is a side bar, but wtf?? I had to get out the year book to actually see if these assholes were in my school and not just wannabe stalkers? They were however real people that did attend the same learning institution as me. This is where the line gets funny, I mean do I add them out of niceness? Do I ignore them? No one told me there was going to be these kinds of pressures! I give in usually and add them, ya just never know, plus on the worst days (usually Mondays after a big weekend) I take great delight in looking at their “friends” that I used to have crushes on in high school, there all married, balding and fat... I mean were only 26!!! So being a fag might make me a minority but at least it means at my 10 year reunion next year, I’ll be in a whole different ball game to them.
However I digress, I have come to the conclusion that Facebook is the equivalent to Alice’s (from the L Word TV series) chart. Not only do friends add you, but so to do the fuck buddies, the friend’s with benefits, the friend that don’t give you regular benefits but have slipped up with in the past etc. And since the main point of facebook is to join people together it’s very VERY disturbing to find you and a mate who has at one time shared a fuck buddy. I mean the breeders in the world have saying “You don’t cut your mates grass”, I agree wholly with this!! I don’t want to know where my friends have placed there body parts, I also really really don’t want to think I may have placed then in the same place!
I have had it for a few years now, and while I admit my youth was a bit shady, these days I think of myself as a decent person, this blog was suppose to be about the laughs of our past not the normal day to day dirge that most people write. However, facebook on its own has becomes the biggest green bag of MY secrets all by itself!
How do you talk your way around that MANY secrets to a potential lover... Facebook will be the death of me!!!
