Facebook is not: a confessional, a shrink's office, a diary, etc.
This isn't really a bitching about facebook people, I guess sort of the opposite. But it ties into that showing your love all over in public on facebook thing, but again, in a completely non make me want to barf way.
I have this facebook friend, who I first met on another, now defunct, forum about five years ago. We have met in person on a few occasions, and used to speak on line quite often, now it is just the occasional comment every few months or so, I keep him as a friend because back when we did talk he helped me a few times through some rough stuff with his words whether he knows he did or not, plus we have this psychotic music obsession in common for a particular band.
Back when that other forum was still alive he was married, then one day a bombshell that his wife left and took everything including the all appliances and the kitties was dropped. It was sad and he seemed fucked up for a while, but he had seemed rather miserable before she left him too.
Anyway, I guess it was maybe two years ago, maybe less, that he got all happy because he had a new girl. Seemed in love. It was sweet. One day all of the sudden he goes from "single" to "married" and there is this huge pouring in of comments of surprise.
It turns out his girl had cancer and her health insurance was about to run out, so he jumped on a plane with her and ran off to Vegas and married her so she could be on his insurance, without consulting anyone, at least not anyone he knew on line, and it seemed quite a few of the comments of surprise were from close friends.
Now for the past year and a half I've been watching this saga of how much he loves her/they love each other play out in his posts about her treatment and what they are going through.
It has been really amazing to watch and I have wanted to say something to him many times, about how he/they give me hope for people and how touching it is to see someone love someone else like that. But I don't know what to say because, as I said at the beginning of this story, I don't really talk to him much ever any more.
Interesting though. That is one of the things that has been happening in my feed for a while now.
I just teared up a little. That is so sweet.

That was nice.
Yeah that's lovely.
Frank! You've changed your name again!
Did I?
And again!
You sneak!
It is the last change.... probably.
Stop it. You are freaking me out.
Why is it that this is a rather typical status on any given day for nearly all of the people I know in real life?

Pepper, do you know any white people?
This is why we can't have nice things.
...those people are white...
my sisters friends
You need to get some new white people. The ones you have are broken.
This is why we can't have nice things.
I know!
Like.
I have never seen someone selling food on my newsfeed. So strange.

Yeah that's definitely someone that's super ghetto would do. I'm surprised I haven't seen that on my news feed. I must have gotten rid of those people from my friends list.
Like.
Yea, that made me laugh so much I decided it was time to go to bed.
Fix'd
Ha. No doubt.

Thought you guys might appreciate another update...
I despise outlandish promises for love:
B - I realize I am in love with the most amazing and most beautiful person I have ever met and I cannot express how much I love her. I would count the grains of sand in the desert just to make her smile
the fuck does that even mean and why would that make anyone smile???

What a horrible declaration of love. The reason she would smile is that she enjoys watching him suffer; I would imagine that counting the grains of sand in the desert is quite a shitty job.
Imke hits the nail on the head again.
ahahahaha
Hey, Counting the grains of sand in the dessert might be kind of sexy to watch, if it was done using complex theoretical math and stuff.
No, that's not racist at all...
"They sold you hippies grunge, hip hop, now liberty activism."
Those people always talk like that. If it is in jest it is the longest running joke in the history of jokes.
No, that's not racist at all...
You're quite ignorant. It was decidedly racist.

I have been doing some major Facebook stalking recently. If someone actually makes a feature to show you who's been looking at your profile, I'm f'cked.
Back in the day, I fancied this guy at my university who I snogged a few times at various E-fuelled houseparties. Although he was never going to be the love of my life, he was a fellow Pisces, chilled out (for un-organic reasons mostly) and reminded me of my childhood boyfriend. Anyway, it never really amounted to anything- on a few occasisons we hung out at his house and watched tv (that is all!) and then he 'forgot' to come to my birthday party. I met my current boyfriend on that very night and the rest of history. From time to time I've looked on his FB page and just thought he was a real "guy's-guy." Turns out he's almost definitely gay! It all makes sense now! I wish him well.
I hate myself ever ytime I catch myself facebook creeping. I always have to ban myself from facebook for like at least a hour.
Last semester I bought this girl a bagel because she was hungry and didn't have any money. As we were eating she told me I shouldn't eat so many carbs.
She's weird.

I would've said "you shouldn't be eating so much of my money."
My brother's fiance just posted this...
today I was thinking how I just can't believe that there are so many stupid people in this world.... then I got to thinking....maybe their not stupid, maybe their adverage and I'm a super intelligent!!!! its one or the other ....either their stupid and I'm adverage or Their adverage and I'm extra intelligent!
That's pretty bad, Pete.
I unfriended my brother's girlfriend right after this past Christmas. I hope she never becomes his fiance because I hate that bitch.
She's not my favorite.
She's adverage alright and I'm fucking Albert Einstein.(necrophilia ewww)
Thank God for spell check.
maybe shes trolling and youre all ARE stupid
Ritt, wouldn't it be - Your all stupid?
I'm pretty sure she's sadly adverage.
Also, I continue to maintain that Facebook is, in fact, a confessional, a shrink's office, a diary, etc.
This is why we can't have nice things.
Maybe that quote right there answers the question that I posed in the Book Club Forum about Fifty Shades. That is why Fifty Shades is so popular. Even though it's terrible, it's still above adverage.
I'm guessing it's pretty adverage.
This is why we can't have nice things.
So my brother just publicly corrected her on facebook. The surprising thing is - she got 4 "likes" and nobody noticed she spelled half the post wrong?
adverage is spelled - a v e r a g e = average
Yeah but that's such an adverage way to spell it. Dare to be diffrant!
I was beginning to worry it was really spelled adverage reading everyone's posts. Or that you were all painfully adverage after all. But I guess it is just me that is horribly adverage for questioning.
At least she gave it her best shot what with the tricky spelling of Their and needing to use it again and again, effort counts, right?
When you insult everybody's stupidity, you better make sure to spell everything in that post right. And try using proper grammar while you're at it.
Yeah, don't insult my stupidity!
This is why we can't have nice things.
I've been getting tons of right-wing political crap on my FB page lately. Stuff my aunts and cousins share from Breitbart.com and such. Or a picture of Jesus, saying something about "Is Jesus welcome on your page? If so, share this." (Jesus always looks like a slimmer Fabio in the illustrations.) Because they're all relatives, I can't just unfriend them or anything, and to date, I have been too lazy to get that whole lists thing going with your friends. So, instead, I just whine about it to you folks. You're welcome.
(The sexy-cop emoticon is not really related, btw. I just think it's cool.)

Hahahaha... oh geeze, love you guys.
He can't have kids of his own, but I'm sure the wedding will be a fun vomit-worthy event with more religion than he cares for but is willing to allow because he's with a Christian. Oh, the things people do for love/desperation.
