Some days I'm pretty sure the supervillains are right.

Alright, as not many may know, I'm on Facebook. Blame my sister being a jerk and not letting me contact her any other way and the people at work for planning all the fun days through it, but I'm on it. The only benefit I've gotten from it is catching up with a couple of old HS friends (the Academic Bowl variety of friends) and making sure my sister isn't dead. But some really annoying things have come with it.

Particularly the politics/special interest group crap. Alright, I get it. You're an activist person-who-I-regret-friending. Good for you. But the little "join this group to abolish X/talk about Y/validate my existence" notices I keep getting are driving me batty. It's like chain letters in email. It's like really sucky memes (I do end up enjoying certain memes, I won't lie). And because these are filed under the "request" sort of things, even though I have pretty much every email alert turned off, I'll get emails for this stuff because I get alerts for when people request to friend me (because hey, I like to reject Susie Q from high school that maybe spoke three words to me the whole time rather promptly).

Of course, I could be immature and start a comment war. Um.

In other news, the Intern got bored, so I sent him on a goose chase. I'd feel bad, but I'm also a little bored. I had my stuff ready for the proposal LAST WEEK, and everyone else is down to the wire doing things. Other than a couple panicked IMs and assuring people that yes, you can put the habitat on stilts, I've had fuck all to do. I've tried some writing and all I've been inspired to do is another comfort arc story (aka: Psychobabble) because this damn area has got me so antsy. I may have to go track down a few people simply so I have something DIFFERENT going on. This town leaves me stagnant.

Either that, or I'm just cranky. I get that way some days. Bah.

P.S. Alright, a gay ex-boyfriend of mine's new boyfriend is really cute. Well played. I suppose stalkerbook has its good points.

P.P.S. "Zombiecrombie and Bitch" is my new favorite phrase. Thank you, Minion J.

Your title reminded me of this.

Sorry you bored.

I love your minions and am stealing that phrase. ^_~ (Crediting it will be really funny.)

Also, I think - think! - you can turn off requests from specific "friends" - I'll look into that and get back to you. ^^

Heh. I got talked into a Facebook by a RL friend a couple of days ago, and already I've gotten one request from someone I've never met in my life but who has two mutual friends with me. Since I've already figured that my policy is going to be to not add anyone whom I don't either know in real life or have known for a decent amount of time on the internet, well, he's not getting added. :p

And I've had those days where I feel stagnant in this town, and I wonder about escape... some days I think I'd feel that way anywhere, though. I don't know.
