Facebook

I have to admit, I absolutely loathe Facebook. I can't stand what I read on there most times, but I can't stand to delete my facebook profile either. Mainly I use it as a picture repository, but I update my wall with some check-ins and statuses every once in a while.

Why do I hate it so much? Because Facebook has made me realize how much I can't stand people. I used to think I just didn't like people I didn't know, but more and more because of Facebook I've realized I don't even really like my friends! And oh my goodness, when I run into people I know's walls that I'm not friends with and their wall is public it drives me crazy. I usually read a few of their stories and realize that I can't stand them. For real.

I just ran across a woman's profile that I knew growing up. Not a friend, just an acquaintance. Now I personally know this woman was a drug addict, a heavy user and almost died multiple times from it. About 4 or 5 posts down on her wall she had a link to a news story of a drug bust in the town we grew up in where a couple was arrested for cooking meth in their house. So that didn't bother me. What bothered me was her comment on the story. " I think it's funnier than shit, more druggies off the street !" Really? This is your comment? Bitch I can't believe you never got thrown in the slammer for cooking meth or doing coke, drinking and driving, or whatever else your dumbass was taking a few years ago. That kind of shit pisses me off. Woman, you're no better than those people other than the fact you cleaned your life up. And you only did that when you got pregnant, if it hadn't been for that hell you might have been in the house with those people cooking you up some hillbilly heroin. Cunt.

I can't believe this just happened but as I was writing this story my cell phone dinged with either a Facebook notification or a text message. It was a facebook notification. Some woman I went to high school with wants to be my friend. I guess she just noticed I deleted her as a friend in 2009. In 2009 I accepted friend requests from everyone that I knew that sent them to me. A bunch of people I didn't like in high school sent me requests that I accepted and I deleted all of those people within a few months of learning the ins and outs of facebook. Its no secret that I wasn't a popular kid in high school and I have severed ties with 90% of people I knew from there. No, stranger that I kind of knew 15 years ago, we don't need to be friends on facebook. We're not friends in real life, never really were, and won't be in the future so there's no reason to be friends on bookface.
