Current Mood: cynical

You know, I am always amused and amazed at people who try to shit-talk Pete on Twitter. What do they actually expect to get out of it, besides Pete re-tweeting them and making them look like tools? I feel like the people who take the time to either a) follow Pete on Twitter and/or b) take the time to tweet at him about how "irrelevant" and lame he is should already know that, if anything, calling Pete out on Twitter just gives him more to do at 2am when he's wide awake and bored. I am waiting for the day when Pete writes a song entirely composed of @replies. (Although I can totally see Patrick's face being all >:((( because HE IS NOT WRITING A SONG ABOUT TWITTER, PETE.)

Anywho.

I signed up for Facebook yesterday. I'd been resisting forever because, frankly, I did not cave to MySpace when all my RL friends were jumping on the hideous, attention-whore-layout bandwagon, and I figured I could wait out FB, too. I realize FB is nowhere near as obnoxious as MySpace, but I've always been...idk, weird about interacting with RL people online outside of, say, AIM and Gmail. And honestly, I don't NEED to know where random people from college and high school are right now, or how many kids they have, or what they had for lunch. I've been listening to Mr. Foxx bitch for MONTHS about how much he hates the mundane shit people post to FB--do I really need to subject myself to that just so my friends can say we're "friends"? It all seems extraneous and stupid. And I really don't need to find out things like how my flaky, psychotic old roommate has her MBA degree, when it took her ten trillion years to get her fucking undergrad.

Maybe I'm way too neurotic to be on FB; everything I want to say, I just say here or on Twitter, because it just feels weird posting in a status report. IDK. We'll see how it goes. My close RL friend are shitting themselves over the fact that I have an account now, but I don't know how much I'll post. FACEBOOK EXISTENTIAL CRISIS WHAT. :|

Figuring out FB is actually one of my winter break goals--along with backing my fics up at AO3 and finishing my completely anal re-categorisation of my Delicio account--but not to update for myself, really, solely because it is the ONLY way to keep track of the people I do care about. They have totally disappeared into the ether except for this one, solitary island of internetness. One of my best friends is engaged and I haven't seen a picture of the girl! Everybody else has, though, because they're all on Facebook. Therefore, I have given up.

I'm keeping it locked to very specific people, though.

I keep telling myself that that's the plus side to it all, the keeping track of people. I just wish this one way didn't stress me out so much. :|

I'm pretty sure Pete will find some way of sweet talking Patrick into writing that song. I mean, Pete got his Summer of Like song, didn't he? And now Pete has Bronx to help him sweeten Patrick up. Or something. :D

I have no idea what is up with Facebook. I can't even manage to use the thing to keep track of people. It bores me. Myspace has pretty much always annoyed me (though the time my mother opened an account so that she could keep track of my brother at college and she found all his drunk posts and pictures and he ended up banning her because he was embarrassed will never not be funny, ya know?), even though people have been trying for years to suck me into it. They always give me weird looks when I mention LJ. Because obviously that's where the crazies live, yo. *hands*

I totally know all about weird looks; none of my friends understood why I was never on FB, but I never, EVER talk about LJ, so. I guess the majority of my friends think I'm some internetphobe, lol. /o\

I got my facebook back before it started changing everything (remember the days when it was supposed to be a tool for college students to stay connected when they moved away from each other? those were the days), and now I hate it and can only be lured over there once a week or so.

AND, ahahaha this is what I actually wanted to comment about, you know Patrick would rearrange all the lyrics so they turned into a subliminal rant against Twitter.

That's how Mr. Foxx got his five years ago. Everyone in his law school class was on, it was just a way for classmates to stay connected. Now it kind of, to me anyway, seems like a hybrid of MySpace without the gaudy layouts.

I remain strong in my not getting a FB ways. I do log in to Omni's to look at people's pictures sometimes, because all my friends add him instead.

But actually I am just here to say ILU ♥

Dude, I was perfectly content to communicate with my friends via Mr. Foxx's FB, because like you, they'd all friended him instead. But then he started harassing me to get one, and then my FRIENDS kept harassing me...I am a victim of peer pressure. DDD:

For me, Facebook's main draw is the games. I've become a total Playfish junkie, seriously. It's a little embarrassing. But I do enjoy seeing what people are up to. When I joined, I felt like half my sorority found me in the first three days I was on there, and that's really why I like it, because there were all these people I'd lost track of, and I do like see what they're up to now.

I don't post much, though. I'm perhaps even more boring over there than I am over here.

I don't even know how the games work! I feel so confused and old most of the time. :(

I really hate those who hate on Peter Lewis Kingston Wentz. Its like kicking a puppy to me. Also, I do not have facebook for basically the same reasons you just laid out and I REALLY enjoy the looks of confusion I get when I tell people I spend a ridic amount of time online, but do not have facebook or myspace. :)

The only person who can successful hate on PWentz is PWentz. Which is funny and sad to say. :(

I find it hilarious that my friends think I'm this internet noob because I didn't have FB forever.

I refuse. I just REFUSE. Mostly because the students are all on FB and I don't want to interact with them outside of school, not ever. >:(

I miss a lot of party invites, though. I'm willing to live with it.

I SHOULD HAVE STILL REFUSED. I don't even feel comfortable commenting over there. Ugh.

I find myself being more and more protective of Pete these days. Maybe it's because, before Twitter, all I did was hear him refer to the rude comments he sometimes has to deal with, and it was very easy for me to avoid the message boards where all the hateful comments were being posted, so I never actually saw them. Now though, Pete REPOSTS them for all to see, and it makes me sad. :( It seems like Pete is really good at dealing with them (I love that he turns it all into a big joke and blatantly calls the haters out), but still, I don't think anyone's capable of dealing with that day after day and not being affected by it. Pete's a pretty self-deprecating guy and I love that he doesn't take himself too seriously and can poke fun at himself. Some of his blog posts and tweets make me hurt for him though. (Not to mention making me want to smack a bitch.)

...That was all just a really long and rambly way of saying that I sometimes want to give Pete a hug and tell him he's awesome. But that's what he's got Bden for. ;D

I don't Facebook. Everyone and their brother has tried to get me to sign up, but I think no. I have a Myspace, but I rarely check in anymore for the simple fact that all my friends seem to have migrated to FB and any thoughts I used to blog about on Myspace now get put on Twitter. I guess everyone just has to pick their poison.

God, Pete has made me hurt for him a LOT. Don't get me started on when he posted the blog entry from when he got hospitalized. Pete. ;__;

What?? When was Pete hospitalized??

Uh, i.e. Best Buy Incident? As in old school FOB canon, nothing recent!

Oooohhhhhhhhhhhh....I started to say! Bless his heart. PETE. ♥_♥

Oh, I HATE facebook. I have one (as you know) but I only really use it to play farmville. There are too many people on there I don't want to interact with? I keep thinking I should just lock it down completely and only use it to continue playing farmville, until I get bored of that, too. Facebook gives me The Fear. :(

But I have to say, you were one my first ~friends on FB. :DDDDD

Heeeeeee ;) Now I have figured out filters on fb, you are one of the few people who will actually get to see my (very occasional) updates.

Ahaha I haven't updated since I started! /o\

Ugh. Facebook. Don't let it trap you in its steely jaws! Resist!

I AM TRYING. DDD:

(BTW, why do we not follow each other on Twitter??)

:D Because I don't have one. Do you know how long it took me to get this LJ? Karla made a post about the event when I got one and everything, entitled "Fisher Price My First LiveJournal". You know. 'Cause she's a dick that way. (Although she does not prefer to be called as such.)

You don't HAVE to post on facebook. I go for months and months and months without making a status update sometimes. But it's a good way for me to keep track of my Canada people right now while I am in Scotland, so I like it :P However I grew attached during University when I used it to procrastinate. And I got so used to facebook stalking and knowing what is going on in people's lives even if I haven't talked to them that now I need it haha. It's evil. But it doesn't have to be STRESSFUL evil! Just boredom-killing evil.

I already find it boring, tbh. I'd much rather hang out on Twitter than constantly refresh my homepage. I'm also extremely paranoid of people Facebook stalking me and then telling everyone else how boring I am. :(

naahhh it doesn't work that way. It's only hot gossip when something exciting happens, otherwise no one cares either way :P

Facebook is more like a Scrapbook - sometimes there are parts of life that are very busy and full of cuttings, and then there are months of nooothing. JUST ROLL WITH IT. And ignore everything, no one cares if you don't join their ninja team.

I WOULD JOIN YOUR NINJA TEAM FYI

Awwww <333333.
