facebook is making me crazy [uww chapter]

facebook is the devil.

i just recently registered or signed up or put my stupid picture on it or whatever, and i just wanted to say that it is not only useless, but it is, in fact, driving me insane.

alright, so it's clear it serves no purpose. it is an ego booster for those with many friends around the country b/c oh look at all their pictures in your profile. that's awesome. look at the big number under your name. it is an ego diminisher for those that have four friends but wanted to be cool and sign up... you guys apparently have no place and deserve to shut down your profile.

what i don't get is, if in reality i really only have about four friends, and none of them are on facebook, how do i have a number over ten? well, this would be because people from high school, that i've never spoken to ever, and i mean EVER, ask to be my friend. okay, so that's only happened a few times. whatever, it's still obscene.

for those of you without the priveledge of facebook, let me explain the concept to you. you put a picture of yourself up and write a profile. you then ask other people who also have it to be your "friend". your page then has your profile and your friends. that's about it. it serves no purpose whatsoever.

i have now been talking to brett about this for quite a while and have decided that there should be a prereq for asking someone to be your facebook friend: a conversation at least once in your life, as well as a list of the reasons you are asking to be a friend. b/c i'm sorry, i can't handle any more randomness. i avoid small talk in real life, and i hate random people. if i'm not your friend, i'm not going to accept you. i'm going crazy. seriously, crazy.

maybe it's because it's 2am and i'm dying of exhaustion, or maybe it's because brett had to ask me which girl in the picture was the one he just accepted as a friend, but this random facebooking has got to stop. come on people. if i was friends with you even for a day, fine. i want to be your friend. however, if i have never spoken to you before, please leave me alone. i wasn't that cool, nor have i gotten cooler.

another thing. if i know most people that you're supposed to be good friends with dislike you, and you have 40 million "facebook friends," there's something wrong with you.
