Unsolicited Advice #7

June 26, 2009

To the people arguing back and forth on their Facebook status over whether or not it’s okay to feel bad because Michael Jackson is dead: OhmyGod STOP. Facebook is for loving, not for fighting in a weird passive-aggressive way over whether or not someone whom neither of you have ever met is worthy of being mourned.

This doesn’t mean I want everyone to stop all passive-aggressive Facebook status arguing. That really makes my day. Please keep doing that…just not over Michael Jackson.

Facebook: where you can make your life look waaaaay better than it really is.

My friends just posted a bunch of pictures and notes to each other on Facebook about a fun night out they had…that I wasn’t invited to. My feelings are really hurt but I don’t want to be like a lame 5th grade girl and say, “Why didn’t you invite me?” But I really want to know why they didn’t invite me.

Ouch. That smarts.

Facebook has connected people with everyone they went to high school with, and now, suddenly, Facebook is like high school.

That fun time they had last night is made even better by letting other people know that they’re cool enough to have fun times…and then the icing on that cake is the fun they get out of being in a position to exclude people.

I think you should in this case, then, do what you would have done in high school. Maybe make out with one of their boyfriends! Cry and write in your diary! Go sit in a parking lot and drink beer! Call one of their mothers and anonymously tell her that her daughter has herpes!
