Do You Facebook? (2 Viewers)

I'm not sure if it's egotistical, narcissistic, or just plain creepy. I searched for those with my first and last name, found 44 of 'me', and went through and made friend requests with them all.

I'm getting some funny, weird approvals.

 
I'm on there so I can occasionally change my default picture to a pornographic one and expose myself to a bunch of people who know me.

:moneybag: I just searched my name... this happened.

Ha! I did that not expecting to find any (I have a fairly uncommon name) and found 2 others. Both in England.

I was pretty surprised to find 44 with my name. I'm no Joe Smith. My first name is Adam, and my last name(without getting myself wheelhoused) is fairly uncommon.I'm now friends with 7. All my other friends are wondering what in the blazes is going on!
Adam ****** is now friends with Adam ******Adam commented on Adam's wallAdam sent Adam a noteAdam ****** is now friends with Adam ******Adam ****** is now friends with Adam ******
 
There are two of me on Facebook. I was really surprised, because "Krista" is not common, and my last name is very uncommon. It never occurred to me to try to friend the other one, though. I was thinking more of hunting her down and killing her. :)

:eek: :... reminds self NEVER to offend Krista :scared:
 
I have taken to harassing a few "friends" who have added me just because we went to school together or whatever. A few are hardcore christians who are very very cheesy....see; "Rampant abuse of the word "Awesome"....and posting audio clips from really bland acoustic acts singing overly preachy songs and falling all over themselves to say how "Awesome" and "Amazing" they are...

Bible thumpers don't like it when you point out that maybe they should get a thesaurus and work in some alternatives to "Awesome"... and that This guy isn't really that "Awesome" of a guitarist. :scared:

Wondering how long it will be before I get defriended...

 
Got this in a PM today:

Facebook is recently becoming very overpopulated,there have been many mesmberscomplaining that Facebook is becoming very slow. Records show that the reason isthat there are too many non-active Facebook members and, on the other side, toomany new Facebook members.We will be sending this message around to see if members are active or not. Ifyou are active please send to at least 15 other users using Copy+ Paste to showthat you are still active. *Those who do not send this message within 2 weekswill be deleted without hesitation to create more space.*Send this message to all your friends and to show me that your still active andyou will not be deleted.Founder of Facebook,Mark Zuckerberg
Looks like total BS, but I'm trying to find a Snopes or other link to share with my "friends" who sent it. Not having any luck.

Total BS. This crap happens on yahoo IM all the time. Amazes me that people fall for it. If they wanted to purge it would take two clicks to filter the database of users by "last active" dates and destroy all accounts idle for more than X period of time.Thought hey have no interest in doing so as one of the marketing strengths once the battle wtih Google heats up will be the number of users.
 
More facebook fun.

Buddy from Boston and his wife just had a baby a week ago. Posted pictures of him including one of his mouth all agape. All her friends are cooing about how beautiful he is...etc.

I chime in with:

My buddy loved it.... The girls were not amused.... :popcorn:
:lmao: I never get people cooing over babies. They just look like babies for a while--all squishy and red and really not cute at all.

Oh, well that one is clearly extraordinary. Seriously, he looks like every other baby I've ever seen.

Can someone briefly explain the benefits of facebook to a non-facebook person?

Thx.
You get to see how all your ex-girlfriends turned out.
I still haven't been able to figure out how to do that without friending them.
I sent a friend request to one when I first joined. She ignored it. Kind of made me a tiny bit sad. I just left it alone. Then, on Monday, I got an email saying she accepted!!! :mellow: :drive: :drive: Turns out she doesn't check very often.

My buddy from HS actually got blocked by his HS GF. It still makes me laugh to think about.
I just counted and have 14 guys I've dated and one ex-husband as Facebook friends, not including my current boyfriend. :bag: In my defense, I'm still friends with all but one of them, and in that case I friended him just to see pics of his new fiance.
well LOOK AT ME! why don't you! I don't think I've held hands with 14 people.
1. You look like the love-child of Ron Howard and Dave Casper.2. Krista is kinda old, she's had a lot more time to build up her dance card.

3. I'm pretty much a jerk
I was born a poor black child.
 
If you click "Ignore" on a friend request, does it go back to them that you clicked Ignore?
No
thank-you
Yeah that '25 random things' is getting annoying.
I thought about doing it, but 25 is a lot.
It's worse than that though. I should really keep from clicking those notes, but my curiosity always gets the better of me. So I end up learning far more about some classmate who absently friended me six months ago than I ever needed to know. Oh great, you're bi-sexual. And you've been in abusive relationships. And you used to be a cutter. I don't want to know that ####.
Laugh out ####### loud

I think he is adorable and perfect (and cuter than a lot of babies I have seen). I love babies. I guess I am one of those people that drive you guys crazy. :popcorn:

I thought about doing it, but 25 is a lot.
I started to do this, but could only come up with two. And they were both lame.
I did that. It wasn't too hard.Mine:

1. I am a classically trained Hypnotist

2. I am an aspiring professional public speaker

3. I feel the (self-perceived) failures I 'endured' in school give me strength today

4. I am a certified Life Coach

5. I have a hard time dealing with teenagers. They get on my nerves!

6. I drank WAY too much for over a decade

7. If I'm reading something I really like, I won't hear you talking at all unless you poke me

8. I learned to juggle while being grounded for bad grades

9. I was in martial arts for 8 years

10. I have what is perhaps the most wry sense of humor known to man

11. I treasure my geekdom most of the time

12. I have an unhealthy affiliation for M*A*S*H

13. I fell asleep while driving, took out a telephone poll and went through the windshield

14. I talk to myself. A lot.

15. When I get nervous, I become very chatty

16. I climbed(most of the way) Mt. Shasta

17. A very good friend of mine co-wrote a book with Brian Tracy and Jack Canfield called "The Power of the Platform"

18. I have the bladder of a 12 year old

19. I love spicy food

20. Spicy food does not love me

21. I spend entirely too much time on fantasy football messageboards

22. I have enough books that I haven't read yet to last me 3 years

23. I can crack my breastbone

24. My wife liked to watch Gilmour Girls, and I ended up watching it too

25. I like cats more than dogs. There. I said it.

I like the cut of your jib, icon.I guess I have just spent too much time in the FFA, thinking that the rest of the world sees the world the way we do. Nope. The world, at least according to what ive seen on Facebook, is populated almost exclusively by mouth breathers.

So and so is "ready for the weekend!" So and so is "zzzzzzzzzzz." So and so is "proud to see Jennifer Hudson performing on the Grammys." So and so is "taking Johnny 6 month old to the park!!"

I hate people.

:lmao: Lately I've seen a lot of "so and so is looking forward to American Idol tonight". :thumbup: Also, because I have so many high-school friends on there, and people from my high-school don't tend to leave a 50-mile area around Louisville, I had a couple of weeks of updates about ice storms. Listen, I know you were in an ice storm since I have access to the news. I don't need hour-by-hour updates about your kid's school being closed or how you wish it were warm.

:bs: I ignore most of the FB stuff.
 
So I just received a notification that someone "likes" my current status line. No kidding. I note that I can now go to someone's status and hit "like", and it gives a little thumbs up. This must be a new feature, yes? Criminey. As if Facebook weren't turning into 7th grade enough already. :football:

Wow, now when I look at your status and comments, I have the option to "unlike". I guess "dislike" was unavailable.
 
I've never heard of half the stuff you guys are talking about and I've been on FB since October '04 :popcorn:

I'm starting to think Facebook has passed me by....
