Rate my goldfish
Alas, I signed up onto Facebook when it was a little-known student commune. It was good to catch up with people and stay in the loop about gigs and social events until the applications came

I've a friend on there who is the undisputed king of inbox flooding. We'll refer to him as Luke (it's easier this way since that's his name). After breaking convention and not refreshing my page for a good few days I was greeted by approximately 20 'notifications'

"Bugger me, Foxys gone up on the social ladder." thought I. No sooner have I inflated my ego than I'm greeted with such life changing notices as:

'Luke has taken the What Pokemon Are You test! To find out your Pokemon, click here'
'Luke has sent you a request to rate his goldfish! Claim your very own goldfish here'
'Luke has sent you a message on his SuperWall. To see your message, click here'

"Fuck this" I naturally thought. I've had enough of this pissing around with the internets, we'll meet up and go down the pub and do some proper, traditional social networking.

I arrive on a beautiful starry Friday night intent on pickling my liver and pissing against the most convenient car door possible when the evening was through. As planned, Luke arrives when I get the first round in, and I brace myself for a catch-up discussion of the last 6 months.

First line he spewed out that evening: "So, what did you think of my goldfish?"

I don't use facebook much anymore.

last time I signed into facebook
I ignored 114 requests to join various groups and activities. I don't read them anymore. If anyone invites me to a group I'll delete it, even if I'm genuinely interested in the subject.

hmm.
Should have just punched Luke in his stupid tits for raping your mind with retard.

At least that's what I'd do.

Oh god fucking hell yes
Honestly, I went to FB because it wasn't the hideous, bloated, design-free MySpace.

Thanks to applications, it now is.

BLAARG.
I, too, joined FS simply because it had started out as a way to keep track of the two people I know at my uni who I actually wanted to know - and then it was opened up to everyone, and as you can't change your name, everyone and their mother knows your name, where you live approximately, and all that shit. I hate social networking sites.
