I am irritated with facebook. It should be renamed to stalkerbook. I used to have a simple page that I could check and see if friends had left me notes, and I could leave some for them. Now, it tells me what everyone is doing...who is friends with who else...who said what on someone else's wall...who is attending what party...
...and worst of all it shows who is online now. Now I realize that this is the nature of the beast. Online sites are not the best way to have a private life, and I should just delete my facebook account if it bothers me that much. However, there are some people who I would never communicate with otherwise, such as my friend Jacob who is studying abroad in Scotland. Also, I like sharing pictures with friends that I took when we spent time together. But it still sucks that I cannot have a day off from work without all of my co-workers seeing if I am at that moment commenting on my friend's page, or have the whole world know that I am an insomniac and am checking facebook at 2 a.m. Sometimes, no sooner do I decide to pop on and check my inbox, than my phone will ring.
Dear LJ, at least I can check my friend's page and communities without you announcing it to the whole world.
Anyway...I am ending this rant now.
