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

Ruh roh scrappy

"swatted away collywobbles "
what the?

I went away for five days and got about twenty app requests argh. When will people learn not to press "select all"?

My mother is now aware of Facebook as I had forwarded pics my cousin posted on her profile.

Mom: "Oh, yes, I read a piece aboutr that in the NYT, they said it was a potential threat for pornography and luring teenagers into it." (Sth like that.)

Me: "?"

Roz very much OTM!

that is just wrong. facebook should be logan's runned.

I thought that too but then my neices and cousins were saying to me "Why aren't you on facebook so we can laugh at you being so old" (actually they only said the first bit to my face).
So now I am.

And my only friends are my nieces. And two other people.

stevenixed's mum OTM.

Fuck an X Me application. "Someone decided to hug you" "you decided to hug someone". No, I didn't, stop spamming me.

so they're getting sued now?

updates for me today, guys?

my fucken phd supervisor is on facebook. really want to quit it.

you should hit it first.

p.s. i didn't you know are on facebook

Oh noes it is broken :( Who is this mysterious individual who has poked me? Sigh.

I'm thinking of getting off Facebook, already. Too many people I don't really like but have to pretend to care about! Cousins! Exes! Friends of friends!

Too much like real life. Do not want.

Is anyone else's login saying its down for maintenance "for a few hours" wtf?

noo..oh

Yeah it just happened then. And then if you retry it says yr password is wrong. But it isnt.

is your caps lock on?

I just get thrown back to the login page time after time. :(

No I really was doing it right... its working now. Weird.

Oh noes it is broken :( Who is this mysterious individual who has poked me? Sigh.

Accentmonkey, was there one person you added and all this stuff followed on? I had that and am thinking of quietly telling them irl that I think they're great but I'm letting them go because I'm sick of people going: "Oh here's x, oh and there's y. Let's add them both."

I added my first bf who i havent seenin 15 years and now I kind of regret it... he's just so different to me now it is weirding me the fuck out.

Then un-add him. No need for drama, he won't be hurt. You can also put him on limited profile and reduce the amount of news you get from him.

Eh, its no big deal. Ive added a heap of ppl I never engage with. Its not like I do anything deadly important on FB :)

Wait, how do I limit the news I get from people? Cos I'm really fuckin sick of getting status updates from school menks every ten seconds going "IS WISHING THAT CERTAIN PPL WOULD JUST BE HONEST GOD MEN ARE SO STUPID"

the top right of your news feed there is 'preferences' - click on that and there are a bunch of dials you can adjust. just turn them all down and you'll get no news at all.

Chrz!

if only there was a dial you could turn down on all the stupid apps. wtf is the point of being a ninja, werewolf or vampire? why would i want to come to an imaginary happy hour?

I just ignore most of em.

Tho I have scrab, sudoku and astrolgy/tarot apps... and i like the ask a question thing, thats created some amusing creativity from friends. My latest question is "lads: are you impressed by a girl who can out-belch you?"

Only my ex has answered it so far though :(

I would be, Trayce!

I removed the Ask A Question app because it seemed to have asked questions automatically for me, which was annoying.

I removed it because I couldn't find a way to get it to stop emailing me every time one of my FB friends asked a question, and even now I keep getting noitifications in FB to tell me that so-and-so has asked a question. I'm sick of it.

I think you can turn some of that off... people are nongs and leave everyone ticked when they ask a q'n.

ken c has asked a question "shall i turn the notifications for ask a question off"

I have been avoiding Facebook because a) it annoyed me by being students-only when I wasn't a student, b) assumed myspacesque "who can win most friends by how hot their pouting emo teenage bathroom mirror photo is" competition reasons, and c) it seems kind of OLD now and if I can't be an early adopter then I don't want to know etc, but last weekend I met some people I hadn't seen in ages and would kind of like to see again, and they asked if I was on it, and joining up now to say hi seems marginally less creepy than trying to google up an email address, maybe.

This makes me very depressed. A lot of old friends are on Facebook and it hurts to see them all still friends, while I have been forgotten

Oh God, I find livejournal super-depressing for this reason so maybe I should be happy with not getting to spy on their Facebooks. Everyone I ever knew or thought seemed interesting even though they were too cool to talk to me from like 4 or 5 separate groups of long-lost friends is now in the same LJ friend circle (and there was me trying not to mix a couple of the groups when I knew them under the assumption that they wouldn't get on).

Meanwhile I don't see any of them except some of the too-cool types from a distance and one once-friend I bump into maybe twice a year who gives me that busy "oh yeah, I used to know you, but I have much better stuff happening in my life now" vibe each time. Then again maybe she would be nice and chatty except she thinks I'm giving off that vibe too? Arghs etc.

dude pouting bathroom mirror photos are GRATE!

ken who are these two american girls you are in the shower with? did you pick them up in vegas?

i can't log in either. and i have a MESSAGE from a crush awaiting me inside. facebook, y u torture me like dis?

OH WOW poor you!! i'm not having any trouble logging in over here.

i picked up those two american girls when i was in a mars bar eating competition (i ate 6 in half an hour!), this was the day after i unearthed a bomb while working on a site

i hope a crush will have messaged me next time i log in :\

* After the maintenance is over, you will still be able to login with the same password
* Your profile and account will not be affected by the maintenance
* There is no need to notify Facebook of the site maintenance. We're the ones doing the work, so if you see this notice, it means that we're already aware of the issue.
* We don't do site maintenance on all accounts at the same time, so it is possible that some of your friends will be able to access the site while your account is unavailable.

fucking hell, phd supervisor has friended a mutual friend.

this shit is wrong.

but it's too late to block him now. i just hope he has the good sense and tact not to friend me.

there is a time for earnest academic discussion of bullshit old movies no-one cares about, and there is a place for mondeo pop and... they're not in the same place.

Dude I've seen I Love Film, I'm calling bullshit.

no crush has messaged me yet :\

I'm too shy and scared of rejection for facebook.

I'm too easily swayed by peer pressure *not* to be on Facebook

i'd totally reject you ned trifle ii as we had never met

although sometimes i make exceptions so you may get lucky
