"facebook..."
Its like having freedom of speech where you can't say anything out of line?
Its about poking each other meaninglessly,
Its the annoying habit you must check when you wake up, go to sleep or nearly any spare moment in time leading up to your next daily event whether its Eastenders(pukes) or going out, but even then you cannot escape it because its on your phone!
Its the place where people who you've never particularly liked through your younger days have strangely come to greet you for the first time? (and will browse all your photos to see if your fat, pregnant or bald yet)
Its the place where people will make habits of stalking your profile, OR worse you could be stalking theirs.
Its a place where you generally don't learn anything other than Jimmy Crumpethump has been dumped by his girlfriend or Jeremy Mcflatley has been locked out the house OR worse Jenny Elizabeth Mongratin is hungry and doesn't know what to make herself, plus shes got a headache, cant be 'arsed' to do any housework and will be taking the dog out for a poo at 6:47pm next Wednesday.
It is a silly place...
Ive reached the conclusion that I will only ever use this annoying website as an electronic email catalogue from now, since its so much easier to just log in, click a face and send the dam message, over trying to remember hundreds of emails.
It is best only used for communication purposes anyway (Although some do like a bit of farming which is perfectly healthy in small doses... Its just when people start phoning each other to discuss weekly produce stock-takes that it gets a bit worrying and my mother isn't quite there... yet). ;)
More often than not, people are going to get upset with each other because naturally humans are opinionated and others don't actually have an opinion (by choice) and they will eventually see a 'friends' status which offends them.
Therefore, unless you say something that fits every religion, every race, culture, every political party and doesn't include offensive words like "Gillian, Ginger or Fadge", you WILL lose friends. (Facebook friends though, the people who just click 'add' to spy on you and then decide that actually you p**s them off and spend 5minutes searching Google for "how to delete friends on facebook")
On the plus side, if I'd never used facebook, I wouldn't have met all the extra amazing Bodle family members, wouldn't keep up to date with what my family in Australia are getting up too (Without mailing constantly) and arranging nights out or group stuff is done in seconds by clicking some happy faces in your friends list and choosing France > Go.
There is only one friend of mine brave enough to delete his Facebook account so far... Poo Van. (Vietnamese name) He watched the movie 'Social Network' which helped finish the decision, but he can be proud to admit hes almost a month free of Facebook addictions already and not coming back. One day I hope to be able to delete mine too, but I can't be bothered to write everyones email addresses out.
Anyway, I'm using these blogs to help me keep in contact with important people whilst I travel on new projects. Your all invited to come have free holidays with us when you like, just not all at the same time. Lady K will give you a tours of the local boulangeries and there will be much cheese n wine with strange accents.
Oh we are trying to find a time to have a last minute drinks some-place before we go and will let you know...
Au Revoir.
