Well, I finally went and joined Facebook
My brother sent me a fucking invitation. I've avoided it like the plague until now but since my brother and his wife are expecting their first kid next week and he wants to show off the millions of pictures they are going to take, I said fuck it and jumped on the bandwagon.

I find it all too confusing and shit keeps popping up every five seconds and I'm like what the fuck have I gotten myself into?

Anyways, if anybody wants to be my friend send me a pm.

6. Facebook is one thing I know I will ((((never))) do.
Facebook and jumping out of a plane in a parachute are the two things I can guarantee will NEVER happen in my life. :patriot:

9. Facebook is a vast right-wing conspiracy!
Once everyone is connected (and trust me, one day everyone WILL be connected) they can control everything we do and think!!!

11. Well with all the bells and whistles
it has, it's going to take me a while to get used to it. I've already had someone that I never liked in the first place find me and ask to be my friend. I accepted her of course :silly:

14. Not sure, but there are tons of privacy settings
so you can really control your own experience to a huge degree and who you choose to interact with there.

20. Been there, done that quit using it when I realized there was nothing to read there
my cousin keeps wanting me to join his Mafia/Drinking wars

the rest is nothing more than "I'm bored so I decided to scratch my ass" posts.

32. I thoroughly enjoy FB. And I don't tell ppl when I scratch my ass.

Seriously, it's a great tool for communicating with family and friends.

35. I joined Facebook in the summer of 2008 and my interest in it lasted
only about a month. I couldn't keep up with all the stuff I had to do on it. Now I have a lot of things I'd rather do online. While I guess Facebook is useful if you need to keep up with a lot of friends and relatives I'm a loner so I find it overrated and overhyped.
