Fuck that, why have 200 "friends?" I fucking doubt you would speak (actually talk, not internet) to a fucking 5th of them, so it makes no sence. Yes I do have an account, never use it, nonetheless I do have one, I thought it could be used to chat to old mates and get together for a few beers, and that once did eventuate, but, out of all of the people on my "friends" list I wouldn't speak to more that 20 fucking people in actual life, for the sole reason that I don't want to fucking talk to some stupid fucks from my school 10 years ago.
Here's why you shouldn't either, (unless you enjoy this mundane shit, if you do, you need to be killed)
this is the average convo with long time no see acquaintances.
me: hey
them: hey
them: whats been goin on?
me: work, you know, bout you?
them: yeah me to! what do you do?
me: graphics
them: wow, you must love that, it sounds awesome
me: no, it's shit
them: oh well, it has been a long time though, too long
me: hmm
them: we should catch up for a beer soon
me: (why, so we can have this fucking steller conversation again) ok
them: cool, well take it easy, my numbers still the same, so give me a buzz when you wanna hang out.
me: yeah alright.
copypasta that to everyone of you facefag friends and you'll be the most popular cat around.
besides that brain mincing entertainment, these "social" (what the fuck, seriously) sites offer us the chance to see what these people that we really like have been doin these days. Example, big noting, I FUCKING HATE CUNTS THAT BIG NOTE, here is how it rolls socially in the new world.
You have to have mad dog pictures of you travelling all over the world, show them to everyone, there is no such thing as privacy anymore, also, put pics up that will encourage a response, fish for compliments, like
"here I am in america, just before I go to canada"
try and aim for a response like this, bonus points if you haven't seen that person for more than 5 years.
"oh wow, you look great now, I hope you had heaps of fun on your trip, we should catch up soon"
Also, take pride in the fact that your friends will be envious of your awesome life documented and shown to everyone, cause with the profile pic partying in some awesome environment, the general consensus is that's how your life is all the time, nevermind that you probably posted those items from your desk at work.
