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

i was there when mandee first asked out jon

Getting REALLY annoyed by the following sequence:

1. Person I haven't thought of in years adds me as friend
2. I send message that says "hey, what's up, how've you been"
3. No response

Should I add a step 4 here where I un-friend them? I mean, seriously, if you don't like me enough to return a polite "how are you" note, then why are you adding me as a friend in the first place?

maybe s/he is with the family, celebrating some holiday, not checking fbook msgs?

"Getting REALLY annoyed" should be read to indicate that this is very much an ongoing pattern. The best was a girl I could faintly remember being in high school with when I was 15 -- adds me, I write ("wow, how've you been, what are you doing in NYC now"), nothing.

me and jon are in a facebook relationship

here's a peeve: unless you already had it on your 'Looking for' section before they got rid of it, you can no longer change your 'Looking for' to 'Whatever I Can Get.' thus, all these people can look for whatever they can get, but i cannot. UNFAIR.

i even wrote to them about it, to no avail.

so to be a smart-ass, i changed my religious views to "whatever i can get." heh heh.

seriously though, why'd they get rid of that option? don't they think that some people might have gone from looking for a relationship to looking for whatever they can get?

I am periodically updating my religious views -- right now it's at 2897. Next week I'll up it to 2904.

i just friended everyone i met in ny last week (that i can find!) hi guys on facebook

i just deleted ex bf who's been sending me slightly creepy/flirty messages for a few months. i never replied and he never got the hint, so time to obliterate him.

:(

Better hint: actually reply and say you found messages inappropriate and bothersome

nah he's way too stupid to understand that.

oh no, was that me?

of course not!!!

phew! (resumes filthy messages)

you don't send me ENOUGH creepy/flirty msgs :( :( :(

eww

j/k

The majority of the flirting process for my most recent, short-lived relationship was done via Facebook, and I must say it was a lot easier and less stressful than doing it in person or even via text, so hooray for that. Double-edged sword, though - I got bluntly informed by the internet the other day that she is now 'in a relationship', grrr. And I couldn't resist a bit of spying and having a look at her new bloke, which didn't make things better.

rubyredd totally made me blush with her rude message

the weird thing about that msg is that it's the middle of the day and i'm at work...

your work sounds fun!

lol

rfi: where do I get these applications?

damn the hat is so close to being on the bear's head resulting in best facebook app ever

I want out of facebook but can only seem to de-activate it. Is it deletable?

if it isn't, just delete all your friends and change all your personal details (name, email, age etc.)

that's pretty odd that you can't just delete it.

Doesn't that just make another facebook account?

I was so excited about Facebook last year. Now I can't stand the fucking thing. If it weren't for invitations to important things I wouldn't bother using it at all.

People just can't resist plastering their pages with tardloads of useless crap, and of course they have to send every one of their contacts a billion impersonal Pokes or Whacks or Are You Stronger Than a Dog? requests... so weird.

also: sky blue, sun rises daily

Two people I know send me literally hundreds of these shit invitations every month. One of them works in my company: if you email her a support request you NEVER get an answer, but she has enough time to invite me to all these bloody applications. I put in a request for some hardware TWICE last year and I haven't had a response, much less the hardware I asked for, but it's okay because she invited me to What Housebrick Are You 500 times. I mean for fuxake.

Yeah, that's partly the reason for my going, people using facebook as an alternative to email/phone/letters. Maybe I'm just too old but I just don't get it.

I used to get it. It's when (a) people went application crazy and (b) my mother started passing me messages through my cousins that I withdrew.

Also, you should know all this before you make an account. I did. That's why my address and phone number are not there.

jesus, dom. i just posted this in reply to the person who sent me the link:

oh for fuck's sake. "dudes bankrolling successful business venture aren't actually hippies shock; next, the weather."

:)

Great line in "sitting in a darkened room sending "e-mails" backwards and forwards doesn't sound like bringing people together to me - I'd rather go to the pub!!??" point-missing to establish that credibility early on though

also: is it just me or is there some kind of nose/knife/spite interplay going on there, ned? i mean, if you wipe your account, it's not going to change anything. except that you'll be even more pissed off that you miss out on something.

i dunno. i refuse to have any of this funwall shit going on (i think i've got a superwall, but it isn't displayed on my profile) and on the odd occasion that i do get some stupid invite to some daft app, i hit "ignore" and forget about it. as i've said above: i like the fact FB has put me in touch with some long-forgotten friends, and provides a very simple way of keeping in touch with dudes. the trappings are unimportant.

xpost: yeh, i bet the author of that piece is the life and soul of his local.

why be bored at work when you could be in the pub? honestly, some people.

One of the long-lost friends fb put me in touch with told me she's been crushing on me for 14 years. Um, great.

Other reunions have been less scary.

If he's the guy I think he is, he's editor of smug-as-fuck "Hey, who needs to work we all have enough money" piece-of-shit middle class rag The Idler.

oh, a professional cunt! that explains a lot.

that's the feller. he wrote an article about quitting email last year. lives in the west country. fuck him.

is it just me or is there some kind of nose/knife/spite interplay going on there, ned?

Ha! Probably. Something will have changed though, I won't have a facebook account.

xp. Actually, I like Tom Hodgkinson but then I am middle class, I like the west country, and I am mostly idle. Also I don't like right-wing libertarians, I don't like facebook, both of my friends know how to contact me without using facebook, why should I stay?
