facebook fantasy

so i was recently re-introduced to facebook due to some unfortunate incident.
that prompted me to log into my account after 6 months and to my surprise, i
found a nice pile of 22 friend requests which made me feel suddenly very
popular. *pat on back*

i decided to get with the social networking program and acknowledged those
friends/acquaintances that remember me.

one day i logged in to find that i was TAGGED in some horrendous looking
pictures. TAT GLAM SIA. how the f was i supposed to get rid of something that
didn't belong to me?? i asked my facebook guru colleague and he showed me how to
remove tags. so i started eliminating those terrible caught in the middle of
something unglam shots but had to deal with the painful reality that while they
were out of sight for me, they still belonged to someone's album to which i had
no reach.

i started out only knowing how to get to my inbox and replying to messages, but
for a week i was perplexed as to how to see ALL my friends?? i kept
clicking on the FRIENDS button (naturally) only to have the ones who had
recently tagged a photo or bought someone a martini show up. finally my
colleague came over and showed me on the drop down i could select ALL FRIENDS.
ahh what revelations that make your day.

new to the social networking game, i started prying into my friends' networks
and felt like a little voyeur. how do i get more friends i asked myself.
following fede's lead when he started adding my friends to his network, i
started taking the liberty of ADDING FRIENDs from other friends. i wondered if
people minded that i was circumventing them to meet their friends. but facebook
was now my shield- i could now add/poke/message someone whom i had never spoken
to in person for more than 10 minutes, all without the awkward small talk and bs
of really caring. PLUS i add to my growing network of friends and i feel a
little more popular each time. *more pats on back*

i just added a Where I've Been application on my profile/wall/account(??) - go
check it out, my newly made friends!
