I don't know why but lately I have really been annoyed by Facebook and seeing people's status's pop up on the home page going from "single" to "relationship" or "relationship" to "engaged". It feels like every time I log on to the much addicting website, that I believe really only cures long work day woes and late night boredom, someone else is now in a freakin relationship or engaged! Don't get me wrong I'm happy for all of you out there, but do you have to post it up and make the rest of us feel a little bad? My goodness, it's funny how all in one website you can learn so much about someone. Even if I were engaged or in a relationship, I wouldn't post the status simply because I think it's lame. Well actually, I might post "in a relationship" to avoid the random friend requests from guys who are attracted to my "whatever I can get" note, but those who know me know I would not ever go on a date from some random off of facebook! I also think it's lame to write comments every day on your lovers page "hey babe I love you, thanks for the great night" or whatever. Are we 15? I don't know why, but it annoys me.
And then, I think it's humorous to go out with a guy or start talking to someone, and as soon as they know your last name they look you up on facebook and try to add you as a friend. Do they really need to see all of my pictures and personal information up front? No. Plus, I would never want another online stalker for that matter. I have had one before, and it was horrible and awkward. I don't need to know or want to know if someone is looking at my shit ten times a day. If that's the case, then please stay away!
Anyways I don't know where this is going and I'm kind of embarassed to even devote a whole blog entry to facebook? But facebook, myspace, they all get old after awhile. And this morning on KIIS FM Ryan Seacrest was having people call in - grown people I'm talking about, tell stories of how myspace and facebook has RUINED their relationships. You know for example how you start to see a comment on someone's page and jump to conclusions or wonder why they add a certain person. Well honestly, I've been there, but I try not to even give a shit about that stuff. It was just sad to hear all these grown women and men talk about how their relationships have been ruined by it! Really? I am sorry for you, but here's a note for you - don't click on that page! haha.
So I just had to vent again. I would like to note that I did date in college the original founder of facebook - yeah, yeah, the one from Harvard who had the idea first and then his roommate stole the idea and basically mastered the website. Well, now that's all in the courts and he's trying to win it over, but hey now - that's my claim to fame. :-)
