Facebook

I really don't like Facebook. Yet now I'm a part of it. Urgh. But it's valuable enough for communication purposes that I suppose I will keep it.

I hate how every little change you make instantly shows up on your profile page! Is there no privacy? I mean, it's not like I'm taking part in unspeakable atrocities through facebook that need to be hidden from the world, I'm just a private person who doesn't really want people to be able to monitor everything she does on facebook. For example, I removed my relationship status in order to avoid the possible uncomfortable situations which some of my friends have encountered, and people instantly make assumptions. Incorrect assumptions, I may add. I suppose they've now learned what happens when you make assumptions. Do people really have nothing better to do with their time than to check everyone's mini-feeds to see what they've changed?

I do like the pieces of flair though. It's like a virtual version of the front of my purse!

I love it when someone's status goes to "It's complicated".

Apparently on my Myspace profile it says I do not want kids. Now I've never typed or said that at all. Then all of the sudden I had people coming up to me in person deploring that I did not want kids. "You don't want kinds?!", they'd exclaim in horror. At first I had no idea what they were talking about.

I still haven't deleted my Myspace. Maybe if I ignore it long enough, it'll just go away.
