Facebook Dilemmas.

  1. Is it okay to ignore "friend requests" from people I have not seen since 1993?
  2. Is it wierd that I get all nervous waiting for someone to make me their special friend?
  3. Is talking your little sister-in-law into getting a facebook of her own so you can add her as a friend, effectively making your number of friends 20, morally wrong?
  4. Is it okay to break into your husband's facebook & force him to "marry" you?
  5. What do you do when you KNOW people are just adding you because they are "collecting" friends so that they look cooler than they really are? I think I should just "ignore" them, because I am nobody's sad token friend.
  6. Can I MASSIVELY photoshop pictures before I post them? Like by adding in backgrounds of the Great Wall of China and the Eiffel Tower, so that my life looks WAY more exciting?
  7. Is it alright to basically stalk people, just a little bit?
  8. Will I go to hell for telling people their kids look "Super CUTE!" even though they are just not? Like REALLY not. Just NOT.
  9. What do you do when the random ex-boyfriend/fiance that you broke up with to marry his friend and it was so.very.terrible sends you a friend request, even though you are pretty sure he must hate your guts (with super good reason) and there is NO way possible he would want to ever ever be your friend. Like ever. (I'm pretty sure this is a really good example of a valid "ignore")
  10. Is it strange that I refuse to ask people to be MY friend, but totally am hurt that some people have not sent ME a "friend request" when they totally could have, because they are friends of my friends and should KNOW that I am there?
  11. Can I get an iPhone now? Since with an iPhone I could obsessively update my status all freaking day long. Because people will LOVE to know that I am dropping off kids, picking up kids, going to Target, getting the oil changed in the minivan, etc.
  12. Should I post all sorts of tacky things on Eric's wall just for fun? Like "Thanks for last night" so it looks all dirty when I am really talking about how he did the dishes after dinner?
  13. Is this post a sad attempt at making sure everyone knows that OMG, I am TOTALLY on Facebook, you guys! Add me, and you will totally be my Facebook BFF, for realz! (Seriously, add me. Please. I need more friends so I can look cool.)

I'm so embarrassed - I DID find an old boy-friend from high school on Facebook. AARRRGGGHHHH!
