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

wtf?? the ILE group is 'currently unavailable'. so much for my attempts to stalk all your asses out.

my quadrupulous bingo droppage over the last 24 hours is the only thing keeping me going right now in light of last night's PC death. at least they've let me back on now.

FB can be quirky. though not nearly so as MySpew.

What's your name ruby? (if you want to post it here)

:) okay i'm off to sleep for realz this time.

A coworker of mine got a friend request (wich she accepted) from on old friend of her brothers (old as in they hadn't seen each other in years). He then proceed to send an unsolicited email to another (rather attractive) coworker of mine; whom he'd never even met before!
neither of the girls were amused.
i was tho.

The last thing I did before it died was start a game of Scrabulous with you. I'm not sure I want it to come back up now :-(

It's back.

official statement:

"This morning, we temporarily took down the Facebook site to fix a bug we identified earlier today. This was not the result of a security breach. Specifically, the bug caused some third party proxy servers to cache otherwise inaccessible content. The result was that an isolated group of users could see some pages that were not intended for them. The site has now been restored, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused."

It's not letting me send messages to people now, annoyingly.

people from school friending me and the snowball effect (once you accept their request you feel you should anyone else on their list you also went to school with) is freaking me out right now.

nobody from my school seems to be on it. I am assuming this is because I'm old.

i'm collecting ilxors like baseball cards - eventually, when i have enough, i'm gonna sell them off to some poor fb loser with no friends.

mods be playing ban tricks on ya. ;-)

Thinking similarly here.

Here cause we're still catching up. They are at the point of discovering electricity.

i don't have schoolfriends' email addies (or they mine) on the whole so that problem hasn't come up, fortch.

that doesn't matter at all - you can just search by name. some lovely old friends have found me in this way.

500+ profiles

I cant find any of my old missing friends, it makes me sad panda.

Trayce OTM :(

wish i had locked my profile up to friends only sooner

First thing I did. Hell, I don't even want my friends to know but ya gots ta chuck 'em a bone occasionally knowhutumsayin'?

I am a shameless whore. I'll be anyone's friend.

stevem dyou mean people can't find you by searching for your name?

that's actually a pretty good idea. i've had to block extended family members and stuff.

I love the weird random groups:

Single women who own cats but aren't crazy
Network: Global
Size: 4 members

... four sounds right!

and then there's this piece of work!

i found these searching for "chairman meow"

I have joined both my primary school and secondary school groups today and it has pretty much confirmed what I said upthread; there is only one person in the secondary school group that I know, the vast majority are either at uni now or graduated in the last couple of years.

Haha - my latest friend has Rowetta as one of his friends.

I want you to get Beryl to join, so I can be her friend.

brainwave

Oh she'd love to fwend you, CJ!

"I don't know 'oo you are sweetie, but the kettle's always on 'ere, darlin'"

Seriously, I just looked and I think she IS on facebook, but hasn't got started yet. No fwends yet :( I'll ask her later. But I'm not letting you lot loose on her!

LOL people posting their phone numbers where anyone can see.

There's a whole bunch of people I can't befriend on Facebook because I don't know their real names. Sad? Yes.

what about those who have gotten married. include maiden names people!

You tease. (xxxpost)

Accentmonkey, problem is that I can't spell the surnames and have no way of checking. I am sad panda :(

bugger it.

umm, my facebook news feed is going crazy. It's saying things like "9 of your friends have written on so-and-so's wall", when like one person has actually written on it.

What's the deal? Have other people noticed this? oh god.

Okay someone from school has just tried to friend me - I've not seen him since the age of 16. Usually I am prepared to give people from school the benefit of the doubt, even if I didn't like them at the time. Then I read his profile, including choice cuts like:

"Religious Views: 102% agnostic -2% catholic 100% millwall"

"Favorite Books: Do androids dream of electic sheep? other than that
biographies of heroes of mine.
The bible, because it's really really funny.
razzle, readers wives, h & e "

and in particular:

"Interests: Football, other things too, like football, millwall, naked
swedish ladies table tennis (with or without the ball), topless farts,
knob gags, growing my beard. "

As I said, I am usually willing to give people from school the benefit of the doubt - in this case I am considering deleting my Facebook profile, leaving the country and having reconstructive surgery so that he can never find me.

knob gags? is that what I think it is?

Haha I dont think anyone from school will find me, unless they know my email address which is very unlikely.

Today I sent a msg to an old housemate of mine from Canberra. I'm pretty sure its him, he has an unusual name. I hope he replies, it'd be cool to catch up with him.

I had my first message from an ex-girlfriend a couple of days ago. But she finished with me because she decided she was gay (yes, I'm that bad) so there's no awkwardness around it, it was actually a pleasant surprise.

Oh dear. I just rofled. Sorry CP.

knob gags? is that what I think it is?

No.

But she finished with me because she decided she was gay

This has happened to me too. She's now married. To my then best friend.

Actually that's disingenuous. He wasn't my best friend until a year or so after I dated her.

Oh she really is gay, it wasn't a line. She lives in Brighton now, even!

stevie nixed, we are now friends! interestingly, we list exactly the same 'activities'... ;)

plz don't challenge me to scrabble! i sux big time, and am getting some practise in with my equally suxy friend before i can engage with others.

Colonel, mine really was gay too! After me, she desultorily tried to lose her virginity to some other guy, it didn't work, and she then exclusively dated women for several years. Interestingly, her first long term girlfriend then date my best friend after they split up, and it was only when the third part of the triangle joined together that they settled down and got married. Interestingly, they never had a threesome.

xpost Oh god, I SUXOR EVEN BADLIER at Scrabble! And you like the same Bukowski books as I do! HURRAH! :-) And yes, as few/little activity as possible.hah!

we are obviously the awesomest people, then!

Now that is complicated!
