There's a guy that's part of some of the organizations I belong to, and his whole life revolves around Facebook. If we're all at a party, he uploads pictures and has us tagged by 1 AM. He's a creep in general.

Some people in our gang went skiing this past weekend, and invited him along because he loves to ski. Plus he doesn't drink so he can always be the designated driver. He brought along a girl, and according to one of my buddies, he was awoken by the sound of this dude getting it on!!!

Today his status was:

Creepy Dude is trying to heal his cold sore.

It's not that different from the previous one. I was surprised when the new one popped up, but moved on. A lot of my friends are acting like it's armageddon. It's not that serious, people!

Do you remember how much people FREAKED OUT after the News Feed was added to the first edition of facebook? EVERYONE hated it and thought it was creepy, and all kinds of anti-news feed groups popped up. But now people seem to love it. It's the only way I can keep up with most of my friends on facebook, because I sure don't have time to read everyone's facebook page every day. All of these people just need to get used to it. They don't like having to try to figure things out, because they are laaaaaazy.

Yes, I remember that debacle. I remember thinking "if you don't want your business out there, DON'T PUT IT ON FACEBOOK!"

Now, if you don't like the way that (free) facebook is designed, head on over to myspace. I still don't think it's that serious! LOL

I think people just find it easier to flip out about the Facebook change. It's kind of funny. "OMG WHAT YOU HAVE YOU DONE TO MY FACEBOOK!1!"

I actually liked this one. I laughed out loud. I'll never be too old for Lake Titicaca jokes:rolleyes:

tri deezy 03-24-2009 08:58 PM

Here are some gems that I'll never forget.

This first girl's info section in her profile still had "<3 my amazing fiance armando!!! Luv u baby!" and then suddenly this pops up as her status:

_________ f*** I can't believe my piece of s*** ex-fiance got me pregnant! goddammit what the hell am i gona do now!

then a few weeks later:

_________ love you armando, your the best man i ever known.

Meanwhile, all of her pictures from before she was pregnant are still up of her chugging Captain Morgan from the handle and smoking Black and Milds. Time to untag? One would think? Obviously she's a class act.

Also, it drives me bonkers when people use the wrong you're/your and they're/their/there.

There's this other girl who has the excuse of being 15 years old, but I hate seeing her statuses because instead of going to the trouble of typing out "really," she writes "rele." She also does stupid things like "I cnt wait 4 it 2 b 2morrow!!!!!!" AHHHHHHHHHHHH!


(astrisks added, obviously.)

Am I the only one who got dizzy trying to read this? :)

tri deezy 03-27-2009 04:49 PM

Yeah, if these people want to get their points across, shouldn't they write better? Do they not know any better? I am truly baffled by the writing in some of these. Not using vowels and using numbers instead of letters just makes me not read something. Hahaha, imagine if they wrote like that in their resumes?

Too. Much. :D

I may not have many contributions (except my cousins).

I deleted all of the people that I don't know, so I went from 1500 friends to like 425.

Really? I only friend people that I:

a). know.
b). either am in regular touch with, or would like to be resume contact with.
c). like.

Hence, I have ignored friend requests from chapter sisters, family members, co-workers, and people I sit on junior committees with.

When FB started 6 years ago, I friended anyone. I remember getting all these friend requests from schools all over the country. I think back then, no one really cared who you friended. It was something new.

Once in a while, I'll get a status update from Mark - a Yale alum and Nikki - from Ursuline. I have no idea who they are.

My head hurts now. :(

I'm reading through the thread, thinking man most of my friends are pretty good about their updates.

Some are funny _____is making love to her chocolate cream pie shake. Yummmm.

and _____ "I'm desperately trying to figure out why kamikaze pilots wore helmets."


I'm feeling good about my firends, and their seemingly low level of idiocy. Feeling great about it even.

Then I run across this...... _____has got the body of a taught, pre-teen, Swedish boy.

and _____Is watchin TWLIGHT again! In love with this movie!! Robert Pattinson so sexxaayy.

I'm not sure which scares me more....

tri deezy 04-04-2009 08:51 PM

This gem just came from the brilliant pregnant girl who's on and off with Armando from my earlier post. Again, brilliant.

Ms. Has-no-clue-what-she's-talking-about
is looking up survival gear! SCREW OBAMA AND HIS ANTI-GUN HATRED! I HAVE THE RIGHT TO OWN GUNS! Obama is probably going to ban guns and someone will come into YOUR HOUSE and take away your right! Screw that! I WILL GO OUT FIGHTING!

What newspaper does she read...? Right..

I'm sure that she is really going to need an AK-47 to protect her house. She is just so utterly uninformed and wildly rabid about it that it's laughable. Also, what part of any gun law has ever threatened to walk into a mentally and legally fit person's house to take away their guns? On second thought, maybe she should be worried because she might not be mentally fit to own a gun. Haha

Actually, in Chicago if you get pulled over and you have a (now-expired because it's illegal) permit to carry a concealed weapon, you have to take the cops to your house where the cops will confiscate your handgun.

Because it's concealed? But if it's at your house, then it's not in the car with you. I'm not getting this. Is it just the permit? That doesn't make sense.

agzg 04-04-2009 10:48 PM

No. Handguns are illegal to own in Chicago. If you had a permit to carry a concealed weapon (when it was legal) and you're still carrying it in your wallet, it's indicative that you did not turn in your handgun when handguns were outlawed. So the police officers will follow you to your house and force you to turn in your handgun.

Shotguns are still legal, as long as they're not sawed off.

We had a friend who was pulled over for speeding, and while looking for his driver's license the police officer caught sight of his concealed carry permit. So they took him to his house, searched his house, and took his nine millimeter handgun.

I should add that shotguns are not practical for home protection purposes.

tri deezy 04-04-2009 11:58 PM

There's no way that would go federal.

AnchorAlumna 04-05-2009 01:41 AM

OK, this was posted earlier:
"Myself along with a number of my friends are interested in starting a local sorority."
:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
I'm tearing my hair out! I CANNOT STAND HOW "MYSELF" IS BEING SUBSTITUTED FOR "ME" AND "I."

WHAT is wrong with "I along with a number of my friends"? NOTHING! IT IS CORRECT! WHY do people insist on "myself?"

OK.

I feel better now.

Thank you!

It would sound even less awkward to say "A number of my friends and I..."

WinniBug 04-05-2009 11:14 AM

It bugs me when people incorrectly use "and I"

Example: John and I's new house. or Here's Sally and I at prom.

You wouldn't say I's new house or I at prom, ugh

WCsweet<3 04-05-2009 01:49 PM

Not grammar per say, though the grammar is not wonderful, but an over share from an old classmate:

Girl I no longer want to know he booked 3 nights at the old wheeler hotel. room 4. the same room i lost my virginity to him in. so romantic. what a sweetie. june 15-18th

I do agree with you, although that is slightly better than "Here's Sally and MYSELF at prom."

I find that "myself" is misused all too often and it drives me insane. One of my a$$hole coworkers (who I can't stand) uses MYSELF regularly as a word, because he is too stupid to know when to use "I" and when to use "me". Maybe I'll start correcting him. LOL :p:D

WinniBug 04-05-2009 04:40 PM

wanna talk about twitter overshare???
i ran across chris crocker's twitter page the other day...

beautiful how the most thought-provoking times for me are when a turd is falling ever so gently out of my ass and into the toilet. poetic.
it gets better from there....

It was just like my "friend" from choir who announced she was pregant by making a picture of the pregnancy test (yes, the pee stick) her profile picture. The Caption said, "Yes it's true... it came blue!". She's 17 and unmarried. She had been dating the 16-yr old for 2 months.

What is it with people thinking facebook and Twitter (<--- especially bad with this) entitles them to list things that should be kept private?

i've seen lots of pregnancy test pictures on facebook and myspace
not all have been profile pictures, but quite a few have
