why are these people web-enabled?

Okay, level with me--the point of Facebook is to:

a.) be annoyed by your mother's obsession with getting gifts for Farmville.
b.) learn to hate fish every time you look at your feed.
c.) so people you met before the age of reason, or fuck, the age of puberty, can track you down like some kind of goddamn dark magic GPS, because I refuse to believe anything as beautiful as computers could be responsible for this shit.
d.) ex-boyfriends from non-English speaking countries who were instrumental in your growth and development can friend you. No reason.
e.) a long-lost friend is into otaku-like beliefs but in relation to the Fae (yes, [livejournal.com profile] nymphaea1, I am not joking, I have evidence) and sends you pictures (EVIDENCE). Of her wings (NOT KIDDING).
f.) Fundamentalist relatives. I'll just leave that as-is.
f.) give you a glimpse of what hell will be like in terms of population. Yeah, this.

Guess how many of these are happening to me right now?

Okay, showtime. Beat that list. I totally dare you.

Hee! Originally got a FB account because my partner's family in Colombia all had them and she needed me to translate and it was 1000x easier to have my own. It was also 1000x easier to then start mocking wars with them, but I digress.

I rarely if ever remember to even sign in, but have discovered that I have an ex of mine who once emailed me while drunk to ask how he could have possibly been so awful to turn me gay who now has joined a gay rights group over on FB, and a fundie jock from HS who wished me and my partner a happy 10 year anniversary, but a supposedly good friend from HS defriended me for pretty much the same thing because it showed up in one of her feed thingies. IDEK.

I do know that it's oddly helpful to log in, not post, and keep up to date on how often your 11 and 12 year olds are secretly playing Mafia Wars when they claim to be doing homework though, and then use screenshots as evidence for grounding. Or, er, so I have heard. *cough*
