Facebook makes me feel bad about my neck

As if it's not enough of a blow to see that the vast majority of my high school class has all successfully settled down into smug-marrieds and mommies-with-babies, now Facebook has started adding these updates to my feed:

9 of your friends are now friends with So-and-So

Okay. Great. So, So-and-So friend-requested nine people I know, but not me?

Thanks, Facebook. It really is like high school all over again.

Get out of my brain. I was talking about this VERY thing today.

I think you're way cuter than all of those smug marrieds anyway!

Facebook: bringing all the "joy" of jr. high school to an internet connection near you...

Geez that sounds like an awfully peculiar type of torture too. I did not like too many of them when I was there, why would I follow them around in their miserable little lives now? Pre-spawn, post or anywhere in between, why would I ever want to be updated by the minute on all this? I don't even know this for family!

Cheers & Good Luck, 'VJ'

I've recently decided Facebook is only good for two things:

1. Stalking (which really isn't a good thing.

2. Scrabulous.

That's it!

I used to be so up on these things and then I joined a twelve step program.

How about the stupid link that shows you all of the people you may know?

I keep being told I know this girl that I hate from high school so that I have the option to add her as a friend. It's like, quit telling me she might be my friend. She's NOT my friend, I can't stand the bitch, so stop showing me her stupid ass face!

Okay, I'll calm down and get back to my scrabulous now. lol.

Jill, I know, I have the same reaction. I think if you don't take action after a certain amount of time (a week?), they should take those names down. Like, if I haven't friended them by now, either I don't know them, or don't want to. Why does Facebook feel the need to suggest friends for me anyway? Am I not popular enough as it is?

lol! Exactly! I guess it's all part of the quest to have a gazillion friends on facebook most of whom we'd walk right by if we saw them on the street. The whole thing is pretty ridiculous but then again, I'm constantly checking to see how many friends DG has so that I can beat him! ;)
