Reconnecting on Facebook

I was late to the whole social networking site thing. Never did have a Myspace. Not even sure how I ended up on Facebook to be honest. I find myself wasting a lot of time on there though. It's interesting to see what became of the kids you went to elementary school with. It's vindicating to know that you're still hotter than anyone your ex has ever dated and definitely hotter than his current wife. And naturally, your kid(s) are way cuter than his. *wink wink* But I do have some pet peeves...

First of all, my last name ain't Webster, but dayum!!!!!! When did everyone (who I went to school with) become so flipping illiterate? THOSE is not spelled THOWS. When writing the word HAVING, please drop the (hav)E(ing). This rule also applies to TAKING, BAKING - you get the idea. The plural of sky is not skys. Slang is slang, internet lingo is internet lingo, but these folks are NOT even tryin' to go for that, they just can't spell. I didn't think they flunked English back in the day. I'm just sayin'...

Along those lines... punctuation can be a good thing. Periods help to separate sentences and complete thoughts. There are also commas and question marks to help you out. It is also not necessary to capitalize every internet thought that you have. This is not so much because I think you are 'yelling' or whatever, but because it's annoying when your status is the ONLY one in all caps. It also does not help that said status is like three paragraphs long.

Is it just me or did everyone you went to school with also find Jesus somewhere in between 7th grade and now? Now granted, I'm not one for organized religion at all, but holy Mary mother of God, everyone and there mother is a Bible thumper now. Most of them would be in much better shape if they had found God like a two decades ago, I'm thinking. I haven't forgotten about all that pre-marital sex you had back in the day (I doubt your 20 year old son did either.) Or all the underage drinking. Oh, and the drugs. And that stolen car. It's cool you found God, but let's try not to pretend so hard that all that never happened. God knows that already, he was there.

Facebook will not save the world. Or the animals. Or the ozone layer. Or whatever cause you are trying to push on me. Please stop with the private messages of animal cruelty videos or list of ingredients that are really in a Big Mac. I get it, I get it....

Relatives are way more annoying on Facebook. That's all I wanted to add about that. I will deal with the repercussions of this later.

Okay, I'm done with ranting about Facebook. Truth is, all these people amuse the hell outa me and give us cool kids something to talk about <<<<------ You know who you are!
