FaceBook is fscking weird.

And you guys - you know who you are - what? Was you on facebook all this time or did you just join and gang up to friend-bomb me (for which I am delighted)?

I just signed up on FaceBook about a week ago. Just to kind of put my stake in to that hott craze. Thought nothing of it. Then, today I notice in my gmail all these friend add notices from none other than my friends here on LJ. Hmm. I checked it out and . . .

Weird! To confirm [info]imtboo as my friend it asked me to define how I know her. The multiple-choice selection I made includes the obvious info everyone knows, such as we lived together in France from 1963 to 1977, we took Bio Ethics together in 1965, we dated in 2007 (it was Nuclear) and travelled to Portugal, and of course that I am her father.

Why? Because - and listen to this, FaceBook - It ain't none of your goddamned biz how I know somebody! There is social networking and there is being a nosy busybody. And I think FaceBook is a nosy busybody, probably run by the Department of Homeland Security for data-mining purposes.

Oh, and the best part of FaceBook is that after you friend someone, you get a button that pokes them. So if you are walking down the street in the near future and a robot hand appears from nowhere and jabs you in the ribs, that was me.

Hello, welcome to FaceBook!

I think I'm on facebook somewhere. I think my only friend is the person who insisted I wasn't allowed to be a professor without a facebook page.
