faceboooook D:
Within the last few weeks or months I have gotten FB friend requests from:
- A guy that I went to grade school with, for one year
- The little sister of a close friend who was a horrible spoiled brat slutty bitch to everyone, always
- A girl I barely remember from high school and who probably just remembered my name
- A guy who used to bully me off and on during various school years
- Weird people who I don't know, and I have no "Mutual Friends" with, or "likes" in common with, at all
I feel kind of bad deleting or ignoring some of them. What do I say to these people? "I'm sorry I don't remember you, because high school was 12-15 years ago and I am terrible with names, and all you have for profile pictures are blurry cel phone shots of your dribbly offspring doing something that only you thought was adorable."? Or maybe "I don't want to friend you because I don't know you that well, and I don't use apps so I don't need more FB friends, thanks." is slightly less mean sounding.
Or I could just delete their requests and deal with the occasional small twinge of guilt. Which I do.
I can't really say anything about the profile picture thing. Mine is Voltron, and I am not a 500-foot tall robot made from smaller robot lions. I am also not Kari Byron or Christina Hendricks. Being any of these things would be awesome and fun, but alas, impossible.
Still getting app requests in spite of blocking damn near everything. But it's usually from the same few people, and I know they're probably just hitting "Send GRILLED TURKEY SANDWICH BARN FORTUNE COOKIE MACHINE GUN ESPRESSO to all 219 Friends".
There are times I come very, very close to just SCORCHED EARTH DELETE FUCKING EVERYTHING with Facebook. Sadly it has become the sole way I have of keeping up with some friends and my family in WV.
