From others to me:

Did you see what Jordan put on my wall?
No.

Do you know if Audry deleted her FaceBook?
No.

I wanted to send you something, remembered you aren't using FaceBook, then had to load Twitter, log in, and do it there. Ugh.
Sorry.

A creeper of a friend FaceBook chatted said friend from 3 computers over at the library. Do you know how shotty FaceBook chat is? Talking is much easier. But God forbid you have real human interactions.

Earthquakes. Radiation. Epic tornado destruction. Maybe the world will end in 2012. At least we've had the Royal Wedding. The earth can implode now.

The best thing to come out of FaceBook

I'm sorry for the giant-ass picture. But it's better than having a dinky entry with only a link. If the image suddenly goes away (I'm probably hotlinking) go here!

Day.. uh.. I lost count

Two things.

FaceBook can get you kicked out of the Royal Wedding. [link]
and
Mark Zuckerberg, the legend himself, finally changed his FaceBook relationship status. I'm shocked! 9 years without being FaceBook official?! How?! [link]

I'm not really missing FaceBook still.



When do you think enough is enough in regards to social media? When do you stop feeding your opinion into sites like FaceBook or YouTube? Personally, I'd never make a statement where I become vulnerable to trolls. Once something is on the internet, it's on there forever. The screencap button is your enemy. It's different in real life because memories fade and times change. I'm semi-referencing a YouTuber named Onision. He is a highly controversial, very opinionated guy. He has 4 YouTube channels (one, two, three, four). The second is where he posts very intimate details about his life. His current girlfriend, his messy divorce, how in love he was with his exwife, religion, circumcision, etc. Everything you can think of. He has a Twitter, FaceBook fan page, and even an official website with forums. I think he's gone a bit too far posting all this really personal stuff on the internet. I think he's creative and I like his regular videos, but as a person, he is way too intense for me.

Sorry, that was a bit ranty and I didn't really stick to the subject matter of this blog.

Day 15

You all knew it was coming (and by you all I mean Lizzie and Carly, because you were at lunch with me today):

You don't have to be FaceBook friends in order to be real friends.

We were all sitting with Mohammed (a friend who works with us at the library) and Carly was saying something about pictures from last weekend and how they'll be on FaceBook. Then she got all grumpy-goose complaining about how they aren't FaceBook friends. Mohammed calmly replies, "Well, if you send me a request I'm not going to deny it..." He just doesn't seek them out, which is admirable.

It's like the week before starting college, and everyone who is also an incoming freshman decides to add you on FaceBook. Then, half way into the school year, you realize you've never actually seen some of the people you've added. Let the defriending spree begin!

FaceBook is so dumb.

Sunday Fail

Stop playing Bejewled on FaceBook, it's 5 o'clock on a Sunday, I know you have homework!


(But Aimee, stop blogging about your FaceBook frustrations. It's 5 o'clock on a Sunday, you know you have homework too!)

Shut up, Brain.

Day 13 & 14

I just thought this was hilarious. It's a 'real-you' vs. 'FaceBook-you' comparison. So true and another reason why FaceBook is dumb.

Yesterday my dad said something about my cousin getting a tattoo.
"What? Didn't you see it on FaceBook?"
"No! Show meee!"
So... I kinda used FaceBook to look at something, but it's not like I won't see her next weekend, and obviously look at it in person.

Day 11 & 12

Girl 1: Are you gonna take pictures?
Girl 2: Yeah.
Girl 1: Good, stalk ya later!

Who do we put pictures up for nowadays? Do we really want to show people, or are we just pining for comments?It really bugs me when people put pictures up of themselves, then in the caption they say, "I look so ugly!" ...So why did you put the picture up?!

Michael Buckley from the What the Buck Show tweeted this, and I laughed. He's so cute. This is what FaceBook should really be used for...

useless
fangirl
screams.


The past few days, otherwise, have been full of:

Friend 1: (talking to Jordan) I saw your status, it was hilarious!
Me: Oh? I didn't see it, what did it say?

Then no one explained anything to me. I think I got, "See? This is what you're missing!"

Jordan also said to me, "It's like when (random name) called me a hipster on my status!" I just gave him my lazy eye.

Also, these past few days got me thinking about privacy. Yesterday I was asked to be a bridesmaid. I've never been in a wedding before, let alone a bridesmaid! So, I was pretty excited. The FaceBook-Aimee probably would have posted a status on FaceBook about it, telling everyone! But, the Anti-FaceBook-Aimee didn't even tweet about it. It's a rather private matter, and I told the people I'm close with in other ways. Because I'm sure random friends from High School and distant family members are so interested in a strangers wedding. I deemed it semi-inappropriate, and celebrated in other ways... like emailing my boyfriend and texting Jordan.
