Ten Things Tuesday- Reasons to Friend Someone on Facebook

There are all kinds of reasons people "friend" someone on Facebook.
Some I get.
Others I don't.

I know.
I am admitting to not knowing everything.
I know.
You're shocked.
Cause you thought I did.

So this week's Ten Things Tuesday is why people "friend" other people on Facebook.

1. You are actually friends in real life.
   I'd say this is a good reason. No explanation needed.

2. You met the other person on another website.
   It could be a forum or this here blogging site.

3. To play Zynga games 
   You know like Farm Town or Mafia Wars or even Cafe World or whatever the it game is now. I have seen discussions on forum sites about wanting to add people that play that game so they can reach a level or something.
I really don't get these games. I tried to be nice when I joined Facebook and did a couple for a friend. You can't win. All you do is click and get to another level. What is the point in playing a GAME that you can't win and has no end?

4. You are friends with that person's boyfriend or spouse.
   This seems to be mostly female friending  friends of their significant other. Though I have, on occasion, seen it go the other way.

5. Being related
   I have gotten requests from family members that I don't know or barely know. Sure we are related, but that is as far as it goes.

6. Same name
   Cool! You have the same name as I do, you must be my friend. Yes, people do that. Why?
I have no idea.

7. You are married to my relative
   That makes you family by default. You must be my friend.

8. We both belong to the same Facebook page OR group
   Now, just because I like chipped beef on toast AND you like chipped beef on toast that doesn't mean we are now besties. Go ahead. Knock yourself out. Send me a friend request.

9. We went to school together
   It's been 20 years and counting. I haven't seen you since the 10 year reunion(which, by the way, sucked monkey balls).

10. To get more people to see their links
     I have not done this. But, my husband has accepted requests thinking they might see the links he shares of my yummy stuff blog. I never share welcome to me links. I do on twitter sometimes, but not Facebook.

I'm a Myspace Girl in a Facebook World

I miss Myspace.
I never hardly log in anymore.
What is the point?
No one else does.

Scratch that.
I have a cousin that updates her status once in a while.

Everyone has moved to Facebook.

I am used to Facebook now.

But, I hate how they are always changing things.

You know what is the biggest part of Myspace I miss.

I miss the profile pages.
Each one was different.

That is if you gave a shit, anyway.

Mine is really cool.
It is a woman that is half demon and half angel.
And that is pretty much me.

But, you go to Facebook and everybody's profile is pretty much the same.
Some people have different boxes.

But, where is the color?
The uniqueness of the individual?

I know there is the page rage but unless everyone has it it doesn't work.
Plus I can get it for me but it gets messed up when my daughter uses it.
No, I don't know why.
And what does it matter if making it different is never seen by anyone?
Major downer, dude.

But, if ya wanna talk to the people,ya gotta go where the people are.
And that's Facebook.

At least they haven't all left for Twitter.

I'd really be screwed.
I have a Twitter, but I don't twit much.

Yes, I know.
It's tweet.

But, I'll call it twit if I want to.

But, I really don't get the twit thing.
When you want to post on someone else's you are supposed to write @username
I think anyway.
Not sure.
See.
Told ya I would be screwed.

Pretty Funky

OK

So, I changed my Facebook to English pirate language.

Just for fun.

Got it in a status to change it and I like it.

I like it a lot.

So, I'm keepin' it for a while.

Arrrrr!

Maybe it's cause I didn't get enough sleep.

I don't know.

But, I do find it very amusing.

To do this go to bottom of the page and click where it says your language. Than go find English pirate and click.

Fun stuff!!
