Becca just don't understand.

There are many, many things I don't understand in life, but we'll start with the basics. I don't understand people on facebook. They say the first step is admitting you have a problem, so here it is: I am addicted to facebook. Also, I'm like a true addict, I do not wish to seek help for my problem. Having spent a large amount of time on facebook since I first signed up in 2004 (yes, that was six years ago), I have compiled a list of things I find quite annoying. In hopes to learn that I'm not the only one out there, I'll share some.

1) Depressing status updates. Seriously, is it just me, or are the same people who update "Fiona Smith is tired of life, just want it to end" the exact same people who update "Fiona Smith wishes people would just stay out of her business, if I want you to know something, I'll tell you"? Well Fiona, if you didn't want people to ask, you wouldn't have posted it for the world to see. I try to steer clear of posting on any stupid status updates. My Mom taught me that if you ignore annoying behavior, it might go away.

2) Incorrect spelling. www.dictionary.com. Try it out. If you are advanced enough to use facebook, you are advanced enough to use dictionary.com.

3) Adding people you have never met. This isn't eharmony, don't waste my time. It's weird, and I'm going to reject you.

4) tHiS kInD oF TyPiNg. That is annoying. We are not in the 6th grade talking on MSN messenger anymore. Type like you are at least partially educated.

5) Interest: God, partying, blacking out, hooking up, the Bible. Really? Really those are your interests? Don't judge the life I lead if you think God really enjoys being mixed in with somewhat irresponsible behavior. I'm down with JC, but I also know enough not to be hypocritical.

6) People who flaunt their virginity. If you are this old and are still a virgin, it's not because you are choosing to be, it's because no one wants to hook up with you.

7) Having a conversation of what has been going on in your life for the past 6 years with your 1st grade BFF via wall-to-wall posts. There are two beautiful features facebook came up with. They are message and facebook chat. Take your conversation there. If 1/2 of my homepage is a conversation between people, it's a bit much.

8) Entire facebook albums of pictures you took of yourself. "Just driving to the mall," "Just watching t.v.," etc. Unnecessary. Make some friends and take pictures with them. It will be fun. I promise.

Anyway, I guess that's it for now. I'm sure I could come up with many more, but I think this blog post has gone on long enough!
