Right so heres the thing. I was drunk. I had gin. I was REAAALLLYY pissed off. So I thought you know what Fuck it I will clean my facebook page up. But jesus me I didnt realise this was such a hard task not just for me but it was so hard for my friends to take the rejection.It was as if I had relations with their mothers or something (well a lot of them I have but thats another story HAR HAR).
So yeah I lowered my friends down on facebook to like 30. I was proud of myself. Finally I deleted the people that I didnt speak to. But even this was a hard task. There I am looking at friends of friends who Ive spoken to once thinking ooohh should I shouldnt I? Why not fuck it delete them. Why do we care? What is it that drives us to want to keep in contact with someone we will never speak to again. Well the answer is I have no fucking idea. But its silly. I feel silly and you should feel silly too.
Our lives are run by facebook now. Most of us would blame something like facebook or the machine for doing it to us. Its one big matrix style conspiracy where we fall into line or something and only the few brave marilyn manson listeners can see but Im a bit (delete as appropriate) Amazing,Sensible,depressed so I can see these things differently (dont delete the last bit there because the last sentence would look a bit silly).
Its our fault. We subject ourselves to an endless cycle of logging in and then looking at our friends pictures from the night before. Laughing because we know them then going. then 10 mins later your back on there. I bet you right now its one of your tabs (its on mine) and one of the first things you do is use it when you get on your pc. Oh I wonder what Emily von scotch pads is doing now (thats funny for like 3 people). You know what she is up to. Shes doing the same as you. On her pc trying to find out what shit your getting up to.
Anyway on with the story.
You cant believe the backlash you get from people for deleting them. People you dont know that well. I can see why some people will care because they are friends but i dont speak to them. If they want a conversation they can phone me. They can send me a email...or they could facebo...oh yeah I see what you guys mean now.
