Friends of Facebook

I have a lot of friends from high school in my FB friends list, and a lot of people that I knew back when I was in elementary and junior high. I have a few musicians that I know in my friends list, and a lot of people that I don't personally know, but I have seen around town or at shows. I have a lot of random people I don't know because I can't bring myself to deny a request. I also have a lot of friends of friends. The connection between me and how I know the people on my FB varies, and I don't talk to all of them. I have a handful of people that I actually care to talk to, and the rest are kind of just fallen by the wayside. I mainly use FB to check up on my friends and how they are doing, especially now that we are all in college. But there are a few people that get on my nerves, and I keep forgetting to "hide" their news feed that way I don't have to worry about seeing their stupid stats. Literally stupid stats, I'm not just saying that because they get on my nerves. I would delete them, but you would be surprised how dramatic people can be. Once I deleted this guy from my friends, because (1) I didn't even know him, and (2) he was kind of annoying. Well I guess that was pretty dumb of me to do, because like a day later I got a message and what a surprise!: It was from him. He was telling me in an angry message that I am pretty much and awful person and I would be sorry that I deleted him, because I guess he thought he was that interesting of a guy. I don;t understand why people make such big deals about things like that. You definitely have your handful of psychos on Facebook, that's for sure. On my other Facebook account (I call it my PG-13 account), I have a lot of family friends. I created this other FB account because let's be honest, I have a sailor's mouth and it comes off the keyboard into my stats a lot. My boyfriend's parents were on that FB because they think that people who cuss are awful, even though they themselves cuss. But I never really got on that FB anyway, so I deleted it. Also because my boyfriend's dad is what I like to now call a gossip girl, and likes to dig his nose in everyone's business. I posted a stat saying "I'm ready for a change. It's been way too long." and literally right after texted my boyfriend(his son) asking if everything was ok and that he was there for him if he needed anything. Of course he jumped the gun and automatically assumed that my bf and I broke up. And imagine how surprised my bf was, not knowing what the hell was going on. So I got a few angry texts from him. All in all, FB is a good palce to "socialize" and catch up with new and old friends. I'm not one of those crazy users of FB that is on every chance they get, but I do check it once or twice throughout the day. But that's because the internet on my phone makes it so convenient. ha
