Can't be said much better. After reading this entry it hit me that my roommate was just like this! He never stopped kept talking about this kind of stuff. I will forward this article to him. I'm pretty sure he will love it. Thanks once again for showing this. blackberry torch

I had an attack of paranoia when somebody ignored my friend request. At least I think it was ignored. Maybe she never got it. Or maybe she accidently hit “ignore.” Or maybe I accidentally hit “cancel” instead of “send.” But I’m over it now. I am. Really.

The existence of the Thanksgiving sweater has me wondering how extensive this holiday-sweater-thing gets. Does she have an Arbor Day sweater? Labor day? Flag day? (I’m feeling pretty confident on the Flag Day one, actually.) How dedicated is this sweater lady?

Nothing takes you back to 8th grade quite like Facebook. For me, it’s because there’s so many people from my high school, all of whom I’ve been trying to forget about. Holiday Sweater Lady sounds like she is INTENSE.

How did you know you were unfriended?

You need to be like me, Beej. I remain ignorant of who unfollows or unfriends me and, like the say, I’m in bliss. Of course, it could be the alcohol instead of ignorance, but who cares. I’M HAPPY.

The Internet ate my comment!!! And it was a long one. Forgive me, but I’m gonna have to add this – That’s what she said.

Anyway, long story short, I pretty much said that I had a long time internet friend (awww!) who unfriended me on Facebook out of the blue, but remains buddies with some creepy, creepy dude we were both aware of, and so I thought, listen, ok, if someone who wants to routinely email chicks photos of his penis is more alluring than my witty banter, so be it. But still, dammit Facebook, for making me feel like a high school sophomore because of it!

Not the penis part, mind you. I didn’t see one of those until I was, well, not a high school sophomore. Such a good girl!

I just HIDE people. That way, I can visit when I want to and ignore them the rest of the time.

And Sweater Lady?! Oh, the memories!

Wait. Who wears Thanksgiving sweaters? Christmas sweaters I guess I get. You suck, and you’re lonely, and probably ugly – and no one likes you – so you feel the need to fill the void of the sad life that you have with ugly festive fucked up holiday sweaters that only 4 year olds should wear (yes, I make my child wear them) But THANKSGIVING sweaters? Seriously? Essentially you are wearing the mark of what you are eating. It’s a poultry smock.

Worse than ‘unfriend’ing is blocking. Like my sister-in-law did a while back . I equate blocking someone on Facebook to sticking one’s fingers in one’s ears and saying “nyahnyah – I can’t hear you”. At least if you are unfriended ..you can’t see what that person or any of their friends are doing or saying. With the block- you see everything..but can’t participate.

real mature for a grown up person to be doing.

I got her back though…I didn’t give a shit.

HA!

Facebook is such a downer. Perfect example. Happy Thanksgiving!
