Some time ago, Suebob or Des wrote a post about why she doesn't have a Facebook account. I nodded my head. Hell, I can barely handle a MySpace page. Facebook just seemed like overkill. No way I was going to set up a profile there.
Well, as Alex often writes, the only way to guarantee that I will do something is to swear that I would never do whatever it is. In fact, it is completely Alex's fault that I even went to that cursed Facebook site in the first place. Her brother supposedly had some pictures of himself as a goth for Halloween, and she was told to check them out on his Facebook profile. We were on the phone while she tried to do this, and one thing lead to another, and before I knew it, I had my very own Facebook profile and was busily searching for friends from high school who I haven't spoken to in about 420 years. Of course, that shit is almost as addictive as M&Ms.* Bah!
Anyway, Husband and I are off to visit our friend Mara for Thanksgiving, so I will be wrested away from a computer for the most part. This is good so that I don't spend any more time on that wretched Facebook site (is there a damn user guide available anywhere?). I'll probably sneak in blogging (some addictions cannot be denied!), and I definitely have a good essay ready for BlogHer about a ridiculous ban on the holiday refrain, "ho, ho, ho." Happy Thanksgiving!
*Yes, my pretties. If you have a Facebook profile, let me know so we can be friends!!!

It was Suebob.
ReplyDeleteBut you're not drawing me in, oh no.
And have a wonderful fantastic trip celebrating Thanksgiving in England, you know, where they celebrate it.
We'll hang when you get back.
Facebook got its claws in me a while back, so naturally I've just send you a friend request.
ReplyDeletedear esteemed cuss fairy. before you join the thousand other bloggers accusing Australia of banning 'ho ho ho' please read the original article carefully (wherever it's gone to). you will see that Australia was not trying to ban 'ho ho ho'. an AMERICAN consultant/hr company suggested that santas may chose not to use 'ho ho ho' as it could be considered offensive. which, actually, it wouldn't be here in Australia, because that term is an American-ism, used mostly ironically..
ReplyDeleteon top of that, we Ozzies are really not likely to take any such PC advice in the first place. I imagine the santas told the consultant to 'piss off, mate'.. please refrain from tainting our fair country's rep over an untruth - we have plenty of true things you can slag us out over, k? cuss on!
Am I being blamed for this? I'm totally kidding, but I'm still having a hard time figuring it all out. How pathetic is that? My brother told me that my mom's had an account forever.
