oh facebook

unless you're over the age of 40 or living under a rock you know what facebook is. not collegefacebook.com either. i'm talking the original facebook. hell, i know what it is and my school is not even on there (i go to a small, all women's catholic university that is squashed between the university of pittsburgh, carnegie mellon university and duquesne university) but i know. thanks to my wonderful LS, my number 10, my tail, my spring tide who so graciously shares her password with me and allows me to share her facebook i have been able to experience the wonders of the facebook. let's face it. without facebook i wouldnt have been able to follow up on my regionals connections. one in particular turned out to be great. i have been noticing, however, that there are certain types on facebook that are quite annoying. its like: you're on facebook because you're in school but you waste your life away by spending hours on it. i dont get it. let's outline them shall we?

1. facebook slut: this is the chick who searchs random keywords to come up with a million different matches at various schools. she friends them and then proceeds to glorify people she doesnt know on their wall. they come back in return mentioning phone calls the two have made to each other and outings they have planned. oh 9 times out of 10 this chick has a boyfriend but who wants to bet that she's not satisfied with him and facebook is helping her to find a suitable replacement. you can tell her by the wall that has more messages than can be displayed and friends at schools you never even heard of and you're quite sure they never have either until they found facebook.

2. facebook snob: these are the people who are members of groups like you might see me on facebook but you dont know me or why are you trying to be my friend on facebook but never spoke to me okay so isnt facebook a NETWORKING tool? why cant people try and be your friend on facebook? you might meet some interesting folks you never knew existed at your school. get your nose out the air and embrace them. i mean really, what is the fun in facebook if you are only friends with people you know in real life?

3. facebooker in denial: these are the people who say they were forced to join. they are so against facebook and they are part of their local branch of the anti-facebook group. if you're so against it why did you even join? i noticed these types are the ones updating their profiles 50 million times to include every quote they get off aim and every new pic of themself. they also got every little detail of summer vacation and a link to their myspace and blog.

4. group whores: these are the people who create tons and tons of useless groups just for the sake of creating them. they get abanonded by the second day. take for instance the light bright damn near white group or the i hate wackass parties group. it just sucks up space y'all. give it a rest.

give it a rest y'all. just let facebook be what it is. a fun networking tool. some of you all take it toooooooo far.
