Dear Facebook

Dear Facebook,

Please stop trying to peer pressure me into being social. I know, you are only trying to be helpful. I don't care. It comes off as peer pressure.

For instance, you keep telling me to write on my mother's wall. "Help make Maman's Facebook experience better." Really? Now I have TWO OF YOU guilting me into calling my mother? That ain't right, Facebook.

And let me tell you - I do not like this new feed. I just don't. I am sorry. I tried. I gave it a week. I could care less for it. For instance, you say this new feed is supposed to be "items I would find interesting." REALLY? It's not. I do not need to see people's Mafia Wars updates, nor do I need to see somebody's 450+ pictures of their kid's Halloween costumes (pictures from EVERY ANGLE, thank you.) but I would want to see pictures of my niece and nephew's Halloween costumes. But do you show me that? NOPE. I get Mafia wars.

Basically, what I am trying to say here Facebook, is I am pretty drunk, and therefore belligerent. Change it back already.

Sincerely,

Enna

PS GIVE US A DISLIKE BUTTON ALREADY. I need to acknowledge my friend's emo status updates but without actually going so far as expend the effort to actually make a comment.

On a completely unrelated note, this is the greatest booze I have had in a very long time. I should make a column in which I review booze while intoxicated. I should call it "From My Liver to Yours."

Yessssssssssss. This needs to happen.

8 comments about my weirdness:

  1. I can help!
    If you want to keep your friends by their constant updates/farmville/mafia wars is driving you to the brink of insane, mouse over to the right side of the post...
    There should be a little box that comes up with an arrow... click on the arrow and you should see a "hide" option.
    You can choose to hide status updates (I nearly punched someone over Girl Scout Cookies) and/or games (don't give a good GD about you adopting a fish. thankyouverymuch.).

    Should help.

  2. THIS

    Also, I rather like typing "dislike." and posting it as a comment.

  3. My husband love, love, loves that champagne. I never got a chance to try it. I keep saying 'On the way home from the hospital...'

  4. Now I'm glowing! I picked it out to go with the Italian-themed shower under the stars. It's going to be so-o-o pretty and the food is phenomenal. Can you get a sitter and come up to see us?

  6. I would love to, but I'm poor at the moment! Will have to make do with pictures. But I think Chicago is on my list of places to see before I die, so at some point, we should cross paths.

  7. I'm a regular stalker of your site at this point so I felt like I should add my comment here (aren't you the lucky one).

    When a girl and I broke up we unfriended on facebook (she later tried to re-friend me saying she didn't know how that happened ... which was my best laugh of the day) ... ANYWAY, facebook continually tells me I should add her as a friend since we have so many mutual friends.

    Facebook, I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you!

  8. I FEEL SO LUCKY.
    And I have SO HAD THAT TOO. I am like "I didn't want to be friends with them back-in-the-day, I certainly don't want to NOW."
