Random stupid things on your mind. Post them.

I joined fb two years ago to network with a publisher who turned out to be blow hole.
That initial list of friends was about 60, all authors connected to the publisher.
Deleted those friends when the writing on the wall was legible.
Connected with some whiners from the past. Built up a small list. Began to delete that list, one by one, since they were "collecting" friends and I didn't want to be part of their trophy den. Who the fuck were these people? Made a couple of good contacts.
My friend list was down to 12 a month ago and it seemed time to shut it down completely.
Just before I got down to the dirty dozen, Friend 13 had the most problem with my removing her and had a hissy fit of such proportions, I could only respond with "Do you now see why you shouldn't be on my friend list?" She then "blocked me," saying that was her "final card."
What a crazy koontz. (so to speak)
She's also the closest to me geographically.
Cue "Play Misty For Me."
Interestingly, the final 12 of my self made coven, or knights at my round table, etc, understood completely why I decided to delete the account completely.
It's invasive. It's glutting up the internet. It's pointless. Time stealing. All the things being pointed out in this discussion.
I would be a liar if I said I had no narcissitic aspects, but many of these entities on fb made me look like Mother Fucking Teresa.
It was always me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me. 24/7
As Wild Card stated, meaningful communication was a rarity.
It's intriguing that so many members here are fed up. May Coastgab do its small part to grind facebook's bones into a fine powder.
One more bitch. I don't LIKE it when large companies and news networks tell me to connect with them on facebook. They should have their own website and forum, but they are too cheap to do so.
Many experts believe fb is invincible, basing their opinions on "trending."
But I say, The Black and White Common Sense Twins will finally do the deed in cyberspace with the Candlestick of Apathy and facebook will expire from a combination of blunt trauma and hypothermia.
The body will never be found.

We all have narcissistic tendencies, to be sure, but...Facebook...wowza.
Fuckbook is a classic case of "But enough about me! Let's talk about you. What do you think of me?"

Please adopt Romeo! I wish I could take him into my home. Check out this channel for other dogs. Luz is another cutie. People are such assholes for dumping dogs. Just take them to a shelter or vet!

It's always so awkward when they don't say it back.
