7 stages of facebook
March 20th, 2009 12:14 amI believe I have reached the “get over yourself” stage. All of my apprehension about accepting friend requests seems to have vanished. Actually, it’s been about 2 weeks since I’ve even checked my account and I may have inadvertently blown right past the “forget it even exists” stage. So I’ve decided that there’s really no harm in just letting anyone who wants to be, be your friend. I mean, I’m not putting anything really personal out there anyway. And who would really care even if I did?
So I guess I’m over myself. I apologize to all of those that I inadvertently snubbed by not accepting their friend requests. If you really care, you’re welcome to request again, and the next time I’m on in a couple weeks or so, I will accept. But please, please stop sending me invitations to play games or take quizzes — I’ve wasted enough time on that stuff and I’m not going to do it anymore. Really.
By all means send me gifts and hugs and … (can you “reach out and slap” someone? If not, why not?) … but don’t expect me to reciprocate. I’d love to send all my friends a green beer on St. Patty’s day, but the chances of me actually being logged into facebook are, well, actually I wasn’t, so there you go.
