Facebook: Making Life Awkward, One Friend Request at a Time

I briefly touched upon this topic the day after my bachelorette party. Danny's ex-wife. I usually don't talk about it here, because it's something that doesn't generally effect our everyday life. I know  I can't erase his past, or the fact that he has a son, nor would I want to. But this girl....seriously. RELENTLESS.

Last summer she called me an "alcoholic" and apparently I "look like a man." I admit, I do like the occassional drink or two, but I am in no way, shape or form an alcoholic. And a man? Ok, in that picture my hair was awful, but not even man-boobs would explain these two things on my chest!

Anyway, that was the only "interaction" we had until the night of my bachelorette party. Dummy me, a photo album on Facebook wasn't "friends only," so it's my thought that she was checking that out. Then she sent me a message with HORRIBLE grammar mistakes, which is why I responded..I was egging her on. Mostly, her concern was that we didn't ask her if Kaleb could be in the wedding. Not true, we had a plan, it didn't work out. And even if we asked her, she would have said no.

Last week she sent me another message, basically saying the same thing, and that I was lucky she "has respect" because she has "so much to say." Whatever, I ignored it. She's just trying to get under my skin.

To end this lovely story, and to sum up the title, today she asked to be my friend. Accept? Deny? Even better..Facebook Limbo! Just let her suffer, knowing she can't ask me again until I obviously deny her. The little devil on my shoulder is telling me to accept her, but to make everything private after.

What would you do?

Facebook Etiquette

Does anyone else remember when Facebook was only for people who had college e-mail accounts? I remember the day Fitchburg State College got Facebook. I was walking to DAKA (our dining hall, I'm honestly not sure how it got that nickname) with a bunch of friends. I vividly remember saying we hated it and that Myspace was WAY better. Flash forward almost four years later and I'm addicted. I'm pretty sure I take pictures just to put them on Facebook.

I swear I hate that older people can have Facebook. Actually, most people are fine. I hate that my Nana is on Facebook. She butt's into  everyone's conversations. And because  my friends feel bad, they accept her friendship. Do yourself a favor, if she ever asks...DENY DENY DENY. She will never leave you alone. She will read and stalk everything you put on there. She will tell people things that you would rather Facebook world not know. She will assume she is invited somewhere. She will tell everyone stories before you have a chance to tell them. To top things off, she refuses to type in anything but capitals, and is constantly yelling at me. It is infuriating. Her famous line is "IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, DELETE ME." Is it even legal to delete your grandmother?!?

Danny got suckered into her friendship yesterday. Poor guy doesn't know what he got himself into. But she's already at it. And telling all his friends about my lack of driving.

LOVELY.
