How boring can Facebook get?

danielle123 · May 2009

Is it me or has Facebook gotten exponentially more banal in the last few months? How many times do I have to read about what someone is eating or how bored someone is (thanks for posting that and making me bored, too!)?

Give me Twitter any day. At least I can choose whom I want to follow (Darth Vader is always good for a laugh) without pissing off any friends.

You need better facebook friends who do more than eat and get bored!

em26 · May 2009

Facebook is fun!

Mines keeps me entertained.

You need wacky people on your friends list.

I no likey Twitter. I'm getting rid of mine.

danielle123 · May 2009

You are right, Em! Can I have some of your wacky friends? ;-)

em26 · May 2009

They're all Brooklynian peeps.

So , you know they're awesome.

anastasia beaverhausen · May 2009

Is this why D123 refused my friendship request? THAT BITCH!!!

danielle123 · May 2009

Damn, Ana, I thought you'd forget you friended me. (I heard you were always posting about sandwiches.)

Crap. I forgot you were on my list. You're so quiet on there these days.

Try taking my "How well do you know Em" quiz. You might do better than the Beaves and SweetTea.You'll for sure do better than Brooklyn Potter.

whynot_31 · May 2009

I will look at the quiz, but I do not promise to take it. I hate most of those silly quizzes. Yours better be cool.

Facebook rules! I'd rather read the possibly boring status from a friend who I haven't had contact with since middle school than follow some celebrity's twitter any day.

Plus there is always Attack!

anastasia beaverhausen · May 2009

I like the quizzes. The personality ones are so much cheaper and more accurate than therapy.

boygabriel · May 2009

I like the photos and status updates.... at least those from my interesting/funny friends.

You're odd.

emmaviz · May 2009

Friend people who do burlesque or coney island sideshows. They make facebook fun!

OK who took the "Which mathematical function are you?" quiz?

brooklynbound · May 2009

I bet you did. ;-)

em26 · May 2009

I enjoy taking the quizzes.

I haven't seen that mathematical quiz , yet.

I just took the "Which LOL Cat are you? quiz. My result was the
I Can Has Cheezburger? cat.

danielle123 · May 2009

Em, would you really take the "which mathematical function are you" quiz? Do you really want to know if you are a "square root"?

(It sounds like MeredithB made this up, actually.)

scarlett · May 2009

Fuck Facebook.

Danielle123 , I took the "What mental disorder do you suffer from? quiz. They told me I'm suffering from Autism. I call bullshit on that one , yo.

I'm aware that I have a problem. They're addicting. If someone takes a quiz I am 99.9% likely to click on the "take this quiz now" link.

I'm fine. I am.

:help:

anastasia beaverhausen · May 2009

Em watches Wapner!

em26 · May 2009

I DO NOT!!

So , um , Beaves........

anastasia beaverhausen · May 2009

I embrace my OCD. You, however, are a really good driver.

em26 · May 2009

I really am a good driver!! :cheers:

No tickets , ever.

I do speed.Wait..not the drug. I mean I go over the speed limit often.

Not in NY. Never drove here. Never will.Crazy drivers here make me look damn good.

Nope. A friend of mine is the Bessel Function: J_n(x) and I have absolutely no clue what that is. But I could probably start applying it to my life if J, n or x is alcohol.

scarlett · May 2009

MB what the fuck is your new avatar? Do you have crabs in your trashy parts?

danielle123 · May 2009

I think J and N are subway lines and X used to be one.

Okay, here is a prime example of my formerly fun friends who are now lame and booo-ring. I gently teased a friend who, in the past, would have laughed heartily and given it right back to me (a relative of his gushed about how wonderful he was - I replied, "How much did you pay her to write that?" with a smiley face). He emailed me and asked if he had done something to offend me because I seem to be making fun of him recently. He titled his email to me "WTF?"

UGH!!!! I told him to fuck off....okay, no, I didn't. I just thought that. I actually asked him if there was some re-branding of his image in a more serious vein that I somehow wasn't aware of. We'll see what the response is.

D123 e-mail can be very misunderstood. This is why you need to come out with us so we can all razz each other in person and laugh in each other's faces!

How boring can Facebook get?
