Snow and awkward moments

Social Media is great for one thing...and one thing only. For all of your friends to tell you what is going on in their day. Today for example I found out it was snowing before I even got a chance to look outside because Facebook was blowing up with "OMG snow!" "burrrr its cold outside" "let it snow! let it snow! let it snow!" Therefore I knew to dress for the cold weather before anything. Facebook is like a really distorted news channel, it tells you when its snowing, rainy, to hot, to cold, the end of the semester, Christmas time, Thanksgiving, Pearl Harbor, and black Friday just to name a few. Its nice to know everything but it can also get really awkward. Like this weekend for instance... One of my friends on Facebook was talking about the great night she had with her boyfriend and how great he is in bed....wow. So this girl posted that just thinking that her 300 friends would read it, but a screenshot was taken, sent to friends, who then sent it to their friends, who sent it to Failbook, and now it is being blogged about...I don't think it gets worse than that. And studies have shown that anything put up on the internet isn't just there for a few weeks or a few months...its up there for AT LEAST 10 years...AT LEAST. So I wouldn't put anything up there that's to naughty...

These pictures are from a hilariously funny website called failbook. Unfortunately we've all had these kind of Facebook fights show up on our newsfeed but we wouldn't dare blog about them because well that's tacky. So here are a few that I don't have to be tacky to blog about because they aren't on my newsfeed....so its different right?

CALLED OUT!

So as I was scrolling through my news feed today I came upon this lovely little post (I changed the names to spare them further embarrassment " STUPID BETH SAYS I HATE HER NOW I DO BETH IF UR READING THIS U R THE MOST HORRIBLE FRIEND EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Okay here's the thing about that, one I had to spell a lot of the words correctly, and this kind of thing is unacceptable. It is posts like this that make the older generations think that we only communicate over Facebook and that we can not have a conversation face to face. I heard a horror story a few weeks ago about this guy who asked this girl out on a date but was to scared to talk to her so he just texted her the whole time....texted her. WOW.

No Shave November?

So with no shave November I have a lot of friends that have decided to let themselves be "free" and not shave... So I posted today ( first time in a while) "Happy please shave November! And remember, not all hair is created equal." This one girl that I am Facebook friends with, we used to be friends but then she got married...and now we are way different got offended and commented "DISLIKE!!!!!! I won't be shaving!" ugh. we all know that, you posted that earlier. Here is the thing with Facebook right now, it has become twitter. Like seriously? Did you seriously just make a post about how you will not be shaving for a month?
Facebook Posts "thanks for all the birthday wishes, I had a great day with all my friends!"
Tweets "brushing teeth" "teeth brushed" "driving to friends house" "at friends house"
You could easily stock someone with their tweets.
OH and I know that with the younger generations turning to technology a lot of people may have forgotten....but there is this WONDERFUL thing called...drum roll please!! A JOURNAL!!! A journal is where you put things such as "oh my heck, I freakin hate Becky! she is such a UGH I don't even know how to describe it! I just hate her! but oh my lanta Joe looked at me today! he is soooooo dreamy <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 I could spend the rest of my life with him! Other than that today was alright. Chem sucks but I have a doctors appointment tomorrow so I get to miss it! heck to the yeah. huh, well I think that's good for tonight! goodnight <3 "
see the difference?

somebody pay attention to me!

How do you get someone’s attention? In person you can yell out their name or tap their shoulder, you can call someone on the phone until they answer, leave voicemails, and send multiple texts. But how do you get someone’s attention on Facebook? You can "poke" them but chances are they won’t see that, I don't look at mine, you could message them but that also isn't super effective. The most effective, and slightly annoying way, is the like a whole bunch of things. My best friend Kenny was trying to get my attention yesterday because my phone had died, so I wasn’t texting him back and since he lives in Washington popping over to say hi is not an option...so instead he liked everything he could without being super creepy...I hadn’t check my Facebook in 15 hours and I had 48 notifications. You have my attention haha
