"Can I say you're my girlfriend on Facebook?"

Wow, people really tie themselves in knots over who to friend or not. Unless I actively dislike a person, I'll add anyone. Don't give a shit who wants to look at pictures of me drunk or read my weak witicisms.

My policy is to add people I like. I try not to say anything political or R-rated or personal because my Mormon family reads it, so w/that kind of self-censorship already on hand, might as well add anyone who I think is groovy.

Yeah I'm a lot more brief and non-rude on FB than I ever was on livejournal, where I'll swear up a storm, have started shitfights with ppl and like bringing up challops for people to discuss. Used to anyway - no one is using LJ anymore :(

do people still use AIM?

i <3 gchat

I use MSN all the time! Only cos it's what work people use. Everyone here seems to use AIM but it wont go thru the work firewall poo.

Ahh I want to chat with everyone!!

Trillian will do the lot in one go.

sounds kinky

No thats ChatRoulette

Oh I use Pidgin (nee Gaim). It's like Trillian but is less resource/memory-heavy.

I have it set up w/ Facebook chat, too. Which is awesome because actual Facebook chat eats my system alive, but frustrating because everyone thinks I'm on Facebook NONSTOP

facebook helped me hook up with a girl - "wait until the second meeting", hell no. there was one time a friend of mine was trying to get me to talk to her single (and attractive friend) and I never bothered to say 'hey we should add each other on facebook/myspace' and I just assumed I'd find her on there the next day. couldn't find her on there, never saw her again!

this is really 20th century of me to suggest, but you could have talked to this friend of yours who was friends with this single girl and set something up again.

anyway my rules are somewhat facetious and made to be broken, but if you dead-end on a girl (who is in your social circle) because of a lack of facebook friendship, you need to try harder

facebook helped me hook up with a girl

It's done this for me like four times.

Keeping them it sadly can't help with...

lol omar I dunno I guess I felt a little weird about it cuz the friend wasn't exactly a tight friend and the friend she tried to set me up with was drunk and maybe she was suggesting just having sex with her cuz she waas drunk.

i don't exactly have big feelings of self-worth so i just went home and...took care of the issue, shall we say.

I'm going to repost these instructions that I posted before, because it is really handy to divide FB contacts into groups that have different levels of access to your profile.

You can set up different lists with different levels of privacy and then put your friends on the different lists, depending on what you want them to see. I have a list for family that is pretty locked down, and a "professional" list for work friends that is even more locked down.

Friends > All Friends > Create New List to make your various lists.

Then go to Settings > Privacy Settings > Profile and you can change the privacy settings for each element listed.

So, for example, for "Wall Posts," I click Edit Custom Settings, select "Only Friends" under the "Friends" heading, select "None of My Networks" from the drop down box, and then type and select "Family and Professional" in the "Except" box at the bottom.

Here, let's rephrase this:

i don't exactly have big feelings of self-worth so i just went home and...took care of the issue, shall we say.

into this:

I'm not the kind of asshole who takes advantage of a woman's drunken state for my own sexual gratification, so i just went home and...took care of the issue, shall we say.

See? An immediate improvement to your self worth!!!

It's a shame you can't set different profile pictures for different lists, because I want to change mine to be of a really ugly baby, but I don't want my friends' moms to get excited and think I actually made a baby come out of someone

I could have donw without sadwank.jpg altogether but nm.

never friend request a girl in the middle of your date with her (unless it's going really well)

so mid-fuck then?

Jenny otm

sad wanks are the best though...your tears mixing with...ah nevermind

can't believe you masturbate over a picture of a naked baby on an album cover

:> hey look over there, it's scarlett johannsen

i don't care if the baby grew up to be scarjo, it's still not acceptable

you're supposed to look over there so I can make a stealthy exit, damnit

but scarlett is holding MP4xA's baby

and I can't physically look

i mean, ewwwwwww

tbh LJ, your fb picture looks like you're getting ready to deliver a baby

lol @ your FB group btw. fluxblog will never tire as a punchline

haha true but if I was in the Tate Modern I'd have it delivered INSIDE the awesome dark holocaust memorial box, rather than in a slightly rubbish nearby loading area that I wouldn't have been able to squeeze through the partially-closed door into if I'd been pregnant anyway

xp

yeah Dom's work never dies tbh

Since my father, who is no stranger to idle time, got a FB account I now hear sentence starters like "So I was looking at all your friends on Facebook..." and "I noticed you were talking to Jamie on Facebook, he's sure grown up!"

Maybe it's just because of my family experiences but it really pushes my buttons now that he's spending all his time snooping on me.

Yeah my mum sometimes PM's my facebook with "why did you say that, whats wrong?" which is giving me the shits.

Why don't you restrict their access to your profile?

it was actually healthy that all my family got on FB because now i have zero desire to actually log-in to the site any longer.

if only they would do the same for ILX I would be g2g.

Why don't you restrict their access to your profile?

I did! Should I have given him full access I'd imagine late-night readings of my status update backlog would be in the cards.

My dad will never do Facebook in a zillion years but the other day he used WTF in an email and i LOL'd

Well this certainly won't have any unforeseen consequences at all.

haahahahahahaaahahahaahahahahaaaaahahahahahhahaaaa

I particularly like the BBC's implicit assertion 17 year olds are under-age.

Wouldnt a panic button on FB work like a SB button did on here? (she says with guilty lols)

"You have 51 suggest nonces, the police will arrive shortly"

This is kind of how I look in my mind when I imagine what I look like.
