diary of a facebook stalker
So I know I don't post a lot on the personal front anymore. I tend to drift about in my favorite communities and butt into my flists' personal posts when I actually have something relevant to say :) But despite my seeming decline in LJ activity, I DO still love this place. Hearts!
But you know what I don't love? FACEBOOK. Facebook sucks fuzzy lollipops you dropped in the dirt. Facebook makes the baby einstein cry. I HATE facebook.
Here's why:
So awhile back I was trying to be more selective with my facebook friends list and only friend people I talked to or, you know, actually cared about. I did some cuts and got more picky. So this guy requests to be my friend and I don't recognize him or his pic initially, so I hit "ignore" thinking "no big deal" and "they'll never know or care, right?". Wrong. I received this little gem a few days later:
Surely I DID. Fool.
Also? Way to make thing AWKWARD. So THEN I realize facebook is a little beeyotch and I don't hit "ignore" because apparently it has a way of letting the requester know you did that. I don't hit "confirm" either, I just let the friend request sit there. By this time, I've recognized this guy, we both went to the same church as kids, but he was a few years older than me, popular, and I was a nerd. He never really talked to me, and I clearly remember that his sister played an awful prank on me. Not really a fan, you know?
Next!
Of course I'm not "upset" at you- we're complete strangers. And why do you care so much?!
Next! (Please keep in mind, I still have never responded to his messages :-/ )
I know he seems very nice and all, but this was so frustrating to me!!! If I hit "ignore" it's all "why did you ignore me". If I let the friend request sit there it's "could you please 'ignore' me?" AGH. I'm sorry if I sound awful but by this point I was so ticked off by this guy in particular and various other people with the "why don't you accept my friend request?" that I went in and FRIENDED THEM ALL. There was seriously like 30 of them sitting out there and I accepted all the requests. Go ahead everyone! Be my facebook friend. Joke's on you. I hardly ever post anyway. :P
So, then lastly:
(and the reason why my ire has come here to LJ to vent and die)
You're kidding me, right? First you ARE ANNOYING. Second, ARE YOU NEVER HAPPY? Third, thanks for confirming that you only friended me to LOOK AT ALL MY PICTURES and STALK MY LIFE. (Did I mention Facebook sucks because that's what it's for? Well it does. And it is.)
Also? Not really a big Rangers fan. Only go to the games because they're cheaper than Cowboy's tickets.
So I probably sound like a total shrew here but MAN do I feel better. THANK YOU LJ!!!! For being a place where I can converse about things that interest me, have intelligent discussions, share music and art and have fun with fellow fans. You...complete. Me. :D
