Understand?

Ok, so I am living with dial-up, something that I can deal with for now since I am able to scam Internet from the local coffee shop, but here's something that I really cannot comprehend.

Facebook is a network of people where you can find that person you hit with a dodge ball in kindergarten if you really want to. Ok, I get how that could be a good thing. But what I really don't understand is why people treat Facebook as though it's an extended portion of their own humanoid body. What I'm talking about is those stupid status updates. Sure, update once a day or every few days, go ahead, knock yourself out, but if you're going to be an ass and fill up my news feed with your stupid, inane, everyday, every minute updates, I really don't want to hear about it. I mean, come on people, that's what Twitter was created for. Go and make an account there, post the link in your Facebook status and leave it at that. If people really want to know what you're doing every second of the day they can go check with you there. Stop making me know that you're 'hoping for a win tonight' right after you tell me that 'omg I had to spend all my dentist money on a text book!'. Really, I don't care.

This has gotten so out of control, in fact, that I cannot stand Facebook anymore. I avoid it as much as possible and, being the nerd that I am, I only go on once a night in order to play Sorority Life... Yes, I know that that is quite sad, but whatever. It's not like it's FarmVille or anything. And it's only that one game. I honestly don't know why I even play it anymore other than it keeps me connected with my real sorority sisters... the ones that I want to be connected to anyways. Let's just say that if I never send you a gift - granted you probably never send me one either - but I just don't want anything to do with you and I'm only leaving you on my friends list in order to have the most people possible in my house. Yep, I am that shallow and petty when it comes to that.

Whatever.

But, really, what's the big deal with Facebook and Twitter anyways? Are they going to soon become the MySpace of a few years ago; completely obsolete and only young kids and losers are on there? Ok, bands are on there too in order to get their music heard, but even YouTube is taking over that.

On that note, I do love YouTube. There are so many amazing tutorials for make-up on there and the comedy blogs. I have my set list of people that I watch whenever I can - something that is not possible with dial-up so it's not happening as much as I would like it to. I even got my Halloween make-up from a tutorial done by Petrilude (his YouTube name) and I changed it around a bit to make it work for me. I'm by no means a professional like he is, but it turned out pretty damn good if I do say so myself. I even got compliments at the party that I went to that night. Plus, it was fun to do.

Basically, though, I hate Facebook. I use it meagerly and I don't care to use it any more than that. If you want to contact me, e-mail me or call. Use Facebook as a last resort.

Get Twitter and stop clogging up Facebook with things that no one cares about.

That is all.
