the problem with facebook

so you have these people on your list. who are your "friends". man, i have people on that list that i haven't talked to in years. it's crazy. they are not my friends. maybe they were kind of at one point because we had something in common like lifeguarding. and even then i wouldn't call some of these people friends. i mean, they're nice people. and we hung out in groups. whatever. that's not my point.

this is my point.

what's up with event invitations? i've gotten three in the past week or 2. it's one thing when the person doing the inviting is an actual friend. you know? like someone you hang out with on a daily basis.

it's something else when you get an invitation from someone who you have a confused and strange relationship with. and they tell you that you are welcome to attend if you want. even though you'll know no one else there.

and it's something else still when you get one from someone you only know from class, and they've also invited 150 other people and you'll only know them. not very personal, eh? i mean, i'm not going to show up with all their friends like i'm actually wanted there when their entire facebook friend list gets invited.

it's so strange.
