facebook suggests you read this post

i say it all the time.

facebook is taking over the world!

case in point: a girl i work with recently requested my 'friendship' on facebook. since we are not actually friends, and i don't wish to share my personal life with people who annoy the shit out of me, i simply denied the request. logical, right?

wrong.

apparantly, being denied access to my facebook was so traumatic to her, that she had to go around work telling people that i have a slutty facebook profile picture. i mean, i guess i can understand. im pretty fucking awesome. (that's what he said). but seriously, facebook causes this drama? are we back in high school?

(as a sidenote i'd like to point out two things. enjoying nudity and being comfortable in your body are not directly related to a person's level of sluttiness. second, if i was slutty, i'd be a lot less high strung, and in a much better mood way more often. hm. that actually sounds kind of nice. perhaps i should become slutty...)

but now im off topic.

this is just a small example of how facebook has taken over our lives. it's also completely changed the way we speak. it still appalls me when i hear someone, especially an adult, say 'lol'. not type it. SAY it. REALLY?!?? i mean if something is actually funny can't you just LAUGH?? you have to say 'LOL'?!??

and what about "friending"? whatever happened to the word 'befriend'? have we gotten that lazy? (yes).

and there are a million more examples. we're living our lives in the context of a blue and white website where we can announce to our 'friends' where we're going, what we're doing and who we're doing it to.

i say...let's start an anti-facebook revolution!!

delete your facebook accounts!

pick up your landline telephones! (or..get a landline and buy a telephone..)

call your friends! have a real conversation. look people in the eye.

seriously, i'm going to do this. i am. i really am.

after i publish this post to my profile.

and update my status to let people know im doing my laundry and going to sleep.

um. well, maybe i should keep my facebook after all. i mean, people are pretty much on the edge of their seats waiting to see what im up to.
