The kicker: It's not like he's overseas or somewhere that requires a countdown. They live together. Why must there be a countdown?

It's like:

Girl is at work [only 6 more hours til I see my love!]

Girl is off of work and headed to Walmart [will see my love in 30 minutes, muah <3]


I'm pretty sure we have a mutual friend, LOL. This girl I know...same thing. Why? YOU LIVE WITH HIM. "Going to the bathroom...only 3 more minutes til I see my love!"

And I don't understand the purpose of the phrase 'FUCKS WITH' or 'fuqz wit' or fuks wif' of any variation thereof. For instance, when it was cool for all of my friends to make Facebook groups for themselves (wtf), some of their groups were along the lines of 'I FUKZ WIF JANE DOE ALL DAY ERRDAI.'

ughhhhh *defriend* *defriend* *defriend*

I don't understand it either! It really makes no sense. One guy I'm friends with has a list in his About Me titled "How u kno if i dont fuck wit u". He lists 10 things he does to let you know that HE D0NT FUCK WiiTCHA.

Munchkin03 08-09-2009 08:05 AM

One of my sister's Junior League friends went to HS with me, so we were both FB friends with her. She was one of those people I had on "Hide," but when you're on your iPhone or BlackBerry you can sometimes see those persons' status updates. I'm pretty sure she's crazy, and her FB status updates are always...erratic.

A few days ago, this was her status: Smith Family, I want to stay with you during the weekend of Labor Day! Hit me back, ni---as!

Neither she nor the Smith family are black, which is a moot point because that word is verboten in my world. My sister called me all annoyed, because she's been trying to get in touch with her because she's taking over her Junior League position this fall and she hasn't been getting back to her. Funny.

I think everyone knows at least one.

BetteDavisEyes 08-11-2009 12:44 AM

A friend just changed her profile picture. It's her & her boyfriend entwined in each others arms naked. :eek: All main parts are strategically covered (Thank God) but I have to wonder why on earth they would think this is a good idea.

Oh how I hate those friends.

I have no words for this.

That's why I took a screenshot.

33girl 08-12-2009 01:06 AM

This isn't status update related really, but I am so tempted to start a group called:

I Can't Believe My Friend Is __________

If your previously normal friends have turned up in groups WAY to the left or WAY to the right as far as religion/politics are concerned, if they are fans of music you consider reprehensible, or if you never realized how ghastly their spelling and grammar was before the advent of Facebook, join this group.

With the way that Facebook has united people from WAY back (i.e. haven't talked to each other since high school, middle school, or even grade school), I would bet that you'd get a heck of a lot of members to that group.

Not to mention the other grammar issues.

ComradesTrue 08-20-2009 02:23 PM

Okay, admittedly the grammar and spelling are spot-on, however, this is just totally obnoxious. The following status updates have run in the past week or so, not coincidently at the exact same time as some SEC recruitments. This individual has friended over 1000 people, including many college freshmen. BTW- This is an alumna with grown children… not someone who just graduated 3 months ago.

Alumna: XYZ is FUN! Every year, over xxx undergraduate women across America join XYZ for fun and lifelong friendships. XYZ offers a home in your new college environment and a place to make your mark on the world. You will make a difference in XYZ. XYZ will make a difference in you. 8/8/09

Alumna: XYZ alumnae and collegiate chapters across the nation have raised over $xxx for [philanthropy] during the past school year. Over xxx volunteers dedicated more than xxx volunteer hours to help make wishes come true. This brings XYZ’s total support since the alliance began in xxxx to more than xxx million dollars. Congrats to XYZ and [philanthropy]. 8/12/09

Alumna: During college, you will grow academically, attend social functions, contribute to your community through volunteer service, and have unlimited leadership opportunities. The experience of being a XYZ will prepare you to flourish during college and beyond. As an alumna, you may join any of XYZ’s xxx alumnae chapters across the country and beyond. 8/13/09.

Alumna: XYZ is the [deleted] women’s fraternal organization in the world with over xxx initiates and xxx collegiate chapters. 8/16/09

Alumna: Welcome to the XYZ Sisterhood –[Girls first and last name] and [Girl’s first and last name] ! 8/18/09

In addition, she has posted multiple links to the national website, facebooks groups, etc for XYZ.

At least it is all spelled correctly.

Wow. Well at least she is involved.:)

pshsx1 08-20-2009 03:37 PM

Geez. I think I'd avoid the GLO with the crazy alum who friended me...

I had 2 SigEps friend me before I started college (for 2 different reasons) and there wasn't one 'OMG PURPLE AND RED JOIN JOIN JOIN' post from them. I only got info about the Fraternity if I asked..

Another "non-grammar" one:

I just saw an old friend's page. This guy is in the same industry and is extremely intelligent. However, he's changed his "info" to read:

Activities: XYZ Fraternity, Leadership Council, Honors Club, and [girlfriend]
Favorite Music: [girlfriend]
Favorite Movies: [girlfriend]
Favorite Books: [girlfriend]
Favorite Quotes: [girlfriend]
About Me: [girlfriend]

Seriously dude? :rolleyes:

Can you PM me her name? When I googled this wording, a chapter's fan site came up.

Senusret I 08-26-2009 10:38 AM

I need to know what sorority that woman is promoting.

Anyway, so I have been friended by a LOT of high school people over the past few months, even guys I know for a fact never spoke to me. (Not that I'm mad, but you know how high school tribes are)

This one guy seems as sweet as pie, but is definitely touched. ALL of his statuses are about his elementary, middle, and high school or his neighborhood. NOTHING is in the present. Everything is very random. Here is his latest:

DAVE CHAPELL IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE COMEDIANS and HE IS ALSO FROM WASHINGTON D.C. WHICH IS MY HOMETOWN. DAVE CHAPELL GRADUATED FROM DUKE ELLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL. MY OTHER FAVORITE COMEDIAN MARTIN LAWERANCE IS ALSO FROM THE D.C. AREA....GINUWINE IS FROM ...D.C. THE SINGER MYA IS FROM GREENBELT M.D., TONY BRAXTON IS FROM SOMEWHERE DOWN THE WAY...LLOYD BANKS IS REALLY FROM SOMEWHERE BETWEEN BALTIMORE AND P.G. COUNTY.

Senusret I 08-26-2009 10:39 AM

For all the fans of The Stand, this is akin to "M-O-O-N -- that spells Washington."

Senusret I 08-26-2009 10:43 AM

In other news, a former student worker of mine now goes to college. By the time I noticed this status, it was too late to really talk about discretion:

....
really jus wanna chill in the room n work on my speech for thursday but i guess ill go to the lil AKA meeting at 7 n c wassup wit it.

Am I missing something? I've never heard of "better than sex cake"... is that for real? ('cause it sounds like it would be good...)

Very real indeed, although I have seen a variety of kinds of cakes go by the name.

jojapeach 08-27-2009 05:57 PM

My mom's Better Than Sex cake is full of pecans, cocoa, and chocolate chips and has cream cheese and pecan icing. THE. BEST.

Senusret, dude is touched for real. You're a good guy for keeping him as your friend in spite of that awfulness. And the former student is priceless. I pray someone in that chapter saw that. Lol

LOL I don't know the next time I'll be there, but I know there are several recipes in Google searches. I searched "Better Than Sex Cake + chocolate chips". That really should work as my Mom found the recipe in the newspaper years ago. :-)

Senusret I 09-01-2009 11:51 AM

[same guy from Senusret's high school ]ALL the hispanic people are slowly taking over the D.C..THey are moving from MOUNT PLEASANT,COLUMBIA HEIGHTS AND ADAMS MORGAN FURTHER UPTOWN IN PLACES LIKE PETWORTH,EMERY HEIGHTS AND MANOR PARK...IF YOU RIDE THROUGH KENNEDY STREET YOU WILL RUN INTO A... FEW MEXICIANS.HISPANICS IS ALSO HEAVILY POPULATED IN PLACES LIKE TAKOMA PARK AND LANGLEY PARK M.D. FLOWER AVENUE AND LANGLEY PARK HAS BECOME MEXICO CITY...

AOII_LB93 09-01-2009 04:59 PM

Not bitching about grammar here....just a question though. Why does it seem like so many people's facebook updates are all about their kids and never about themselves? Why not just start a facebook for your kids instead?
