I've never really been much of a Facebook user... A bit more lately, as it sometimes can be fun enough to see what people in your life is doing, mainly my younger sisters actually. Oh no, I'm not one of those stalking, overprotective older sisters, but when I'm missing them, it's nice to see they're still doing ok without me being there.
I've been thinking a bit about the purpose of facebook. A few weeks ago, I was sure that it was just a way to see if your friends were suddenly "free on the market"... About a week after Alex and me broke up, I set my status there to single, and it didn't take more than a few hours for the first person to ask if I was interested in something, which in itself is ok I guess. My problem was that I haven't talked to this guy for a year. Why am I suddenly interesting, just because I'm single? I mean, if he -really- was interested, shouldn't he want to keep me in his life, even if I was taken... But yeah ok, I know that most guys, or girls for that matter, at my age is not exactly as ready to settle down as much as I am.
And what do you do when you think you might have found the right one, or at least someone who -could- very well be the right one, and he might think the same, but maybe not? I had almost forgotten all the uncertinty it brings to not be in a relationship, even if you like someone, and he likes you, it's a lot of cat-and-mouse... But I'm not gonna turn this in to a Sex and the City blog about my lovelife... It was Facebook I was talking about.
Right now, one of the only applications I really use is the "Pet Society". It's just this small little game where you have a pet and then can get money by visiting friends, to buy clothes and furnitures. Kind of cute, kind of pointless, as so many things else. But it's kind of nice as well, at least from time to time. Doesn't take much to just feed your pet and give him a bath now and then.
That and the "what are you thinking about?"-thing. The thing is, that one is very much like Twitter... But ok, who doesn't like to tell what they're doing and thinking about -all the time-? I guess I must, since I got a blog... And a twitter... And update it on facebook... And messenger...
God, I'm a narcissist <.<
Well, we knew that already...
Edit:
Oh, and another thing I'm wondering about is the "You might know..." function.. I was just checking it going through everyone people think I might know... And sure, I knew some of them... There was a lot I didn't, and even more that I might know who is, but that I have never talked to. And then there's a few who I actually know, but don't really want to talk to. There are usually those people from your past. Different people belong in different times of your life, and to be honest, I don't care all that much for the people I worked 4 months with in Mc. Donalds, even though a lot of them were probably great friends and colleagues at the time. And there are some that I really -didn't- like, so why would I want to be friends with them on Facebook? I've never really been a huge fan of "let's add everyone we know so that it looks like we got 1945 friends, cause then people will think we're popular, and we'll feel better about ourself, yay"-deal... But sure, if it works for you. I have to admit that I have MANY people listed as friends in there, that I NEVER talk to, but it's mainly because I'm too polite to click no when people add me. Stupid really, but meh, to be honest, I don't really care who can see pictures of me from the last party I was at, or read that I'm currently thinking about my lack of money... Who cares anyway? I usually don't get drunk enough to do really stupid things anyway.
There are many more things I can talk about, regarding facebook, but I'll just save that for another day.
