the Book of the Face

I've discovered many things about myself concerning the popular social networking site Bookface.

First, I stalk myself more than anyone else. It's very true! I go through my profile pictures countless times. I go through alllll the pictures/videos I've ever been tagged in. This week, I even scrolled down so far on my wall that I went back to when I first got a Facebook.

As a freshman. In high school. In 2008.

It's becoming a problem. I don't even know WHY I do this so often. I'm not vain; a lot of the pictures are, quite truthfully, terrible. Maybe it's just me looking back at past memories or because I like re-reading old comment conversations. Maybe I just like remembering how weird I was as a 14-year-old. I just really don't know!

Second, I pretty much only write on other people's walls to wish them Happy Birthday. I literally do very little else. In my intense self-stalking, I've seen that pretty much every lil snit-bit of what I write on walls consists of "Happy Birthday So-and-So! :)"

No, really.

Yes, it varies with how well I know said friend that I'm wishing a happy day of birth, buuuut other that that, it's pretty true! I just CAN'T not wish someone a happy birthday! It's their birthday after all! They deserve a birthday greeting from that girl (AKA me) that they haven't talked to since 8th grade even though they've been friends on Facebook since pretty much ever.

They love it.

Third, I've become paranoid to post a status perdy much ever. I have some friends who don't understand that Facebook does not equal Twitter and definitely does NOT equal the TMI sharing zone. Because I'm so freaked out by such gems of friends and don't want to be like them (but I'd never block them; they're hilarious), I rarely ever post Facebook statuses. If I do, I make sure that it's either clever or thoughtful or funny or something to be sure that I get a lot of likes. Don't lie. You do this to some degree too.

Fourth, Jim is hilarious.


'tis true.

Such a winner.
