13 Things About Facebook and The People On There

Whoa, sorry for the long wait, I've been a bit off lately. Writer's Block is slowly coming onto me and plus, this is the busiest time of year for me because of Band and stuff. Speaking of which, you guys are picky readers. lol. No comments on the last one? Eh, that's all right, I understand.

I went hunting through my documents on my laptop to see what was in there because I was bored and I found a list of: "13 Things About Facebook and The People On There" so I decided I would blog about them.

Facebook. Internationally used website that I'm pretty sure everyone and their dog has heard about. It's hard to ignore, actually. I have given in to the abnormal need to fit into society and got a Facebook. In fact, I've had one for quite some time. I would give you my Facebook... but, I don't want some stalker coming on here and stalking me... because, that would just bad. Some people who do read my blog, Chiaki for example, has my Facebook because I do trust her. But don't think I don't trust all of ya'll, I'm just paying my dues to my mother's rule about the internet. lol.

Facebook as an entire atmosphere all on its own. It's hard to describe. The only way I can really think of it is where friends/family members get to share what they're doing to everyone they're friends with. You can write on walls people. It's awesome.

Though, I have to admit, there are a lot of things that irk me about Facebook than pleasure me. With good, comes bad, naturally.

Here's my policy on adding friends on Facebook, if you fit this critieria, then you're a friend on Facebook. "Are you in any of my classes?" "Are you in my band?" "Are you a friend I met online but that I've known for at least a year?" "Are you in one of my previous schools?" If so... you're probably a friend with me on Facebook. Sadly, I can't access Facebook at school, so this post might have to wait until I get home so I can suppose my claims and give you actual examples.

All righty, let's get started. And also, think of this as almost a... guide to what you have to expect on Facebook, if you don't have one. And if you do, tell me that it just isn't where I live that people do these things

1. Facebook is for socalizing. Youtube is for music. Why do you post lyrics?

I can guilty of this. People post lyrics to songs they like on Facebook because they like that song or they think that the lyrics have some bigger meaning behind it that people would see and then promptly Like it. I've done this too. This isn't one of the problems that annoys me. But something people frequently do on Facebook.

2. I love these inspirational quotes as much as the next guy, but apparently you get more Likes if you put a heart next to it.

Getting Likes is a big deal. It makes you feel like you're connected with your friends on there. As if, they agree with what you have posted. OBut of course, there are those idiots that think it's funny to Like a post like this: "My dog died. *sobs*" Those are idiots, unfriend them. But a lot of people post inspirational quotes and such like: "Don't tell me the skies the limit when there are footprints on the moon." But apparently you get more likes if you put a heart next to it. Like this: "Don't tell me the skies the limit when there are footprints on the moon <3" I... dont' fully understand... the pyschology behind that... but somehow, it happens.

3. U cannnttt beeaattt ma swaqqq. Okay. First of all; worst. grammar. ever, second of all, iffff eevveerryyoonnneee taaalkkkeeeddd liikkeee thiiisss ouuurrr liivvvess wwwoouullddnn'ttt bee mooreee meeaanninnggfulll, ttheeeyy'ddd bee aaa llootttt ssshhorrrtteerr. Besides and it would take forever to get our points across. And... why in the hell would anyone sustitute a "q" for a "g". Honestly. Stop trying to be gangster. It's stupid and you look like an idiot.

This one I believe I've talked about on here before... I absolutely hate when people do this and think it's cool. Because it's not cool. It's stupid and you look like an idiot. Oh... wait, I all ready said that. Well, would you look at that. My thought process has not changed.. lol. I do have an example of that. EXPLAIN.

4. Having more than 200 pictures of yourself means you either are obsessed with yourself, don't like yourself enough so you want other people's approval, or... you're trying too hard. Besides, what is up with that face? You honestly look like you're in major pain.

I hate it when you go on someone's profile and see that they have 500 pictures of just themselves taken by either their digital camera or their iPhone. And they have all of those quotes from the point 3 around them... and the face -- ooh, the FACE! There's this face, it's like a pinched-off-to-the-side mouth thing and it looks like you're either awkwardly taking the picture, ate a Warhead (candy) or... you just look like you're in pain. It gets on my nerves when people think it's cool... because it's not.

5. Why is everything hobo this and hobo that?

This doesn't happen on just Facebook. It happens every where. I don't want to preach but why is everything hobo this... and hobo that. Taco this and taco that. I honestly don't understand why people do that. Hobos and tacos seems to be very misused. Taco is a delectable mexican dish... and a hobo is a person who doesn't have a home. -_- This is reality guys... I just don't... understand it. Is it cool? I sure don't think so.

6. Does a backwards smile make you look cool? Answer: no, you look like you're drunk and used the wrong parathesis.

Now, it is universal, the smiley face. :) and :D and :] and :} and ;) and :P Those are acceptable. So are these. ^_^ and -_- and -.- and O_o and O_O and o_o and >:) and >:D and D: and >:} and many more... but this next one, NO, under NO circumstances should you use this one... (: This absolutely gets on my nerves... WHY?! First of all, WHY?! It has all ready been established that this is proper way to make a smiley face. :) All right? It's established! Literally written in stone so when you do this: (: people think, "You're so cool!" Uh... WRONG. I don't think like that. It looks like you're drunk and forgot which side the parathesis goes on... Typos are understandable, I make them all the time but when you do it on purpose... uh, no.

7. You went from a "in a relationship" to "single"... and you're in sixth grade?

I talked about relationships all ready. This is kind of unnecessary but people on Facebook, or at least some of them, change their relationship status daily. And it's annoying. Can you at least DECIDE all ready?! And plus, I hate hearing about it for the next day as hunderds of millions of sobby posts are posted about you thought he was the "one". *rolls eyes* Grow up.

8. Why do you post every hour of your life? Because you have no life. If you want to do that, I would suggest you consider Twitter.

I do have a twitter you guys, @pinkteamslocker. Follow me! I post at least once a day, or at least, I try to. But Facebook isn't Twitter. I have a problem when people post about every single little thing they do. As in... they do things like this

6:00 - Just woke up. Bleh school.
6:13 - Eating breakfast. Donuts! :)
6:30 - At the bus stop. Stupid bus.
6:40 - Kid behind me is annoying on the bus. Stupid kids.
7:00 - At school, bleh.

WHY?! I know people who laundry list like there's no tomorrow. One person I know does it. She posts about every single thing she says. It sounds like she's just droning more than anything. It's really obnoxious sometimes and it's like "oh cleaning the house... feeding baby...work at 2... bleh..." -_- LAUNDRY LISTING. It's annoying, stop...

9. Facebook is not a diary, by the way.

This ties into number the last one. Don't post a +300 word entry about how absolutely miserable your day was and how you love him so much. Just... don't.

10. I will quit Facebook when people start updating, "Oh, I'm peeing!" or "I just took a breath!"

Please... just don't. I seriously WILL quit if that happens. And... if they start charging Facebook fees too because that sounds like a load of crap right there. Ain't chargin' me!+-

11. Pictures of you and your sweetie make the single ladies jealous, just saying.

Yes, it is true. I am single and it does make me jealous and I'm thinking, "Why can't I have a man look at me that way!" *sobs* But yeah... just don't. I know you love him and all but what are you trying to gain from posting that shit on Facebook? Nothing but attention.

12. Stop talking about how great he is because you make other people jealous. You act like you're a delluisonal girlfriend.

This is a branch off of the last one. It's one thing to post pictures and then another thing to write hundreds of posts about how great he is, how stunning he, or how absolutely HANDSOME he is because, obviously, one; you told us that last week... everyday... and you also told us that yesterday... as well, all day. So, don't do it. It's obnoxious and not to mention, you make the single ladies jealous again. But of course, posting pictures and posting about your sweetie go hand in hand. No offense, but I don't like to hear about those things... so don't post them. Or I should just delete you, but of course, I'm a nice person.

13. Pictures of girls kissing girls is just wrong.

I know it's cute 'n all to post these pictures of you and your best friends of 5+ years kissing each other's cheek and stuff, but... don't you think that's taking it a bit too far? I have a friend that I've known for 11 years now but... we're not that weird, all right? I love her but... not to that extent. So, just don't...

As a conclusion: Facebook is a place of wonders... just like Narnia but Narnia has good morals and it snows there.... and it's pretty. And besides, it's free. You have to own a wardrobe to go to Narnia. Although, my closet is pretty big... I could *gasp* GO TO NARNIA IN MY CLOSET. *ahem*

Anyways... I believe that is it. Stay tuned also, later on this week I will be posting something called... Operation Q-tip. Want to know what that is? Well, you're gonna have to wait, sorry. But still, stay tuned. Comment, check the boxes, feed my lovely koi and over-all, chill out guys.
