Interesting. Sometimes I look at the number of friends I have on fb and feel consolled that I know so many people (sad I know). But then again, people reply to your fb messages in order to get more messages so they look more popular. So it’s all artificial ‘social-ness’. I don’t think I hate anyone but I am maybe indifferent to many of them and have forgotten who the rest of them are. However, I daresay that goes both ways and there are others who are indifferent/have forgotten me. And that idea makes me hate myself! I’m on a fb purge now. Begone evil thing!

There are definitely more than a few “friends” of mine on FB that I don’t like, and a couple that I can’t stand who happen to be my hubby’s friends that are girls. I hate that shit. Just because you were friends with my husband before we got married, doesn’t mean I want to be your friend. Go suck a dick and stop posting about all the stupid crap you do like people actually care. Wow. Guess I have some deleting to do.

Okay, I lied. There were definitely a few people I hate on my facebook friends list. I deleted them promptly. Thanks for reminding me to be vigilant in this exercise.

I have a “friend” I hate so much that I finally had to hide her status updates because reading them would throw me into a fury. Of course I couldn’t delete her because I always seem to need to know what she’s up to so I can continue hating her. It’s a vicious cycle.

Suspended and I are in the same boat.

When I was a freshman in college, Facebook was just starting to get really big (y’know, when it was still just for college students?). All of the freshmen got one in a frenzy to make friends with people…but I didn’t. My equally “fuck society” roommate and I swore to never get Facebooks. I spent the next 4 years explaining to people on campus that they can COME FIND ME IN MY DORM ROOM. Or call me. Hell, e-mail’s good too.

So, now I’m out of college, and someone said “Hey, L, did you know that S just got a Facebook?” Traitor! I am appalled. If there is someone I hate on Facebook, it’s probably her only for that reason.

Otherwise, I’m sure my narcissistic high school nemeses are on Facebook too. They qualify. I’m glad that I don’t have a Facebook, because I’d be too tempted to read their self-absorbed profiles and check out their drunken pictures (i.e. all their pictures). I won’t deny my obsessive personality- I just keep it in check better than most. 🙂

…..Actually…..the annoying “WHY DON’T YOU HAVE A FACEBOOK?” hasn’t stopped yet. It scares me how some people are so crazed by it.

FB is Hotel California – you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave (and trust me I keep trying).

I’m a total fucking Facebook compulsive. A tiny part of me persists in believing my devastatingly witty and erudite status updates are earning me the status of legend in my own time*.

Quite a lot of people I mildly despise lead punishingly dull lives (you know, where there’s 443 photos of their plug-fugly kids opening ninety-seven plastic toys at Christmas with exactly the same glazed empty expression, and the highlight of their week is getting their skunk-stripe highlights re-touched before heading to All Bar One for Stacey’s hen night), so I read ’em to feel more int’resting…

*Prolly not though, let’s be honest.

to me, hating is a waste of my energy because i am giving that ‘hated’ person some control over me just in the fact it bothers me to any extent. it’s much better to feel NOTHING towards someone. like your ex. they are less than nothing if they can’t touch you emotionally. that’s one i have to keep in mind when the bastard sneaks into my thoughts.

that said, i have friended some people from high school on facebook that i don’t like and weren’t nice to me…just because i still look good and they got fat and/or look really old. small but satisfying revenge, but no hate.

I have about 40 friends (family) and I don’t hate any of them. I don’t allow people I don’t know access to my facebook (expect for three that I have never met but stopped at three). I write some pretty awful poetry, so why would I share that with hundreds of strangers or coworkers. I only expose my friends and family to the detritus I post. I’ve deleted one x-co-worker-friend-type-human for being a right wing conservative and making stupid remarks. My son refuses to have a facebook and I don’t blame him. There is facebook suicide program and even a suicide undo in case you want to play dead for a while and then get revived. For me, it’s better than TV when I bored out of my gourd, and it’s also a good way to keep in touch with family and friends thousands of miles away.
