I'm pretty sick of people I don't know trying to befriend me on facebook. Why do they even want to be my friend? I've never met you. We have no friends in common, or for that matter, interests. We don't even live in the same state.
I try to keep my friends list pretty short. I'm pretty private about myself on the internet, the exception being facebook. If you're my friend, then you have access to my pictures, my phone number, my email and home addresses. This is probably because I trust you with this information. Also, this is because I know I am sometimes _extremely_ hard to get in touch with or find, so I figure I should have it out there.
I've been pretty strict with who I let into my personal bubble in LA - I can't have crazy people showing up at my door or holding on to drunken pictures of me at karaoke to later distribute if and when I am famous.
There are a few folks who have fallen through the cracks - people I went to college or high school with that I haven't talked to in over 6 years - or have never had an actual conversation with. This is fine, I'll keep up the façade that we're friends because we probably have a lot in common - including friends.
When these "pseudo friends" start sending me farmville requests or surveys about what Disney princess I am, I get annoyed. That shit isn't worth my time.
When you suggest that I become a fan of your home sex-toy business or send money to your oh-so-important charitable cause, I may visit your site out of curiosity, but I will quietly and respectfully decline. I don't have the money to toss out the window, and I'd rather give my time to a charitable organization - as I have on several occasions.
However, when you repeatedly suggest that I become a fan of the above-mentioned shitty website in the same week, you're at negative points. We aren't real friends. Thank god all it takes is clicking a button to never have to hear from you again.
