More fun with Facebook

Yep, I’m Facebook tough …

Fun with Facebook

Facebook has many uses, but perhaps its greatest achievement has been allowing others to have fun at unintentional hilarity from misspelled words.

Does this mean LOL is “laugh outlowed”?

Whenever I’m in a bad mood, I’m going to look at this Facebook status and thread in order to immediately lift my spirits.

FML does not make me LOL

I hate chat-based acronyms, the LOLs, the LMAOs (or its longer, dopier offshoot ROFLMAO).

Rarely, if ever, are they used honestly, because, really, who laughs out loud that often or actually gets on the floor and rolls around while laughing? Their overuse helps drive up the annoyance factor, and there are no signs of them stopping anytime soon.

One newish one, however, must be stopped immediately: FML.

Friends in blog places

I have, as of 7 a.m. Dec. 22, 482 friends on Facebook. Many of them are childhood and high school friends, some of them are new friends I’ve made over the past few years and a few of them are people I know only through Facebook.

Yes, Mother, computers ARE scary

About two weeks ago, I received an odd notice from my mom: “I’m going to join Facebook.”

My mom is 62 years old, knows little to nothing about computers or social networking and has scant business being on Facebook. Most of my concern, though, is that she’d end up being the only person to post on my Wall, which is really kind of sweet but really more embarrassing.
