daily high school reunion
facebook keeps telling me to “reconnect with” people that i never “connected” with in the first place. it displays this alongside a list of suggested contacts (imbeciles and ex-girlfriends, not mutually exclusive) that i have intentionally avoided for years.

facebook is like a creepy and pointless videogame where people collect every person they’ve ever met, then waste their time spying on all the dumb bullshit they do all day. i don’t care if some moron i went to high school with bought a new ipod, i don’t want to play the vampire biting game, and i don’t want people i don’t care about to know what i’m up to if they’re not going to bother asking me with words.
(yes, i am fully aware of the hypocrisy in broadcasting opinions like this on a blog.)
