Um Facebook WTF?
I'm not going to start panicking-yet, but what's going on with FACEBOOK?! Like omg.com I haven't been able to browse my mini feed for like 15 minutes. I need to know who is done with finals and on their way home for break and who is eating lunch with friends and who is working out and who is Christmas shopping and drinking lattes with their grandma! I am going nuts! Thank God for Twitter. I'm on Twitter, but I just can't get the hang of it so I don't usually tweet, but today I used it just to make sure other people weren't able to get into their Facebook, either. I mean so many times I wanted to post as my status "WTF FB?" But I forgot I couldn't. It's like when the electricity goes out during a storm and I continually try to turn on lights or pop popcorn. But back to my paranoia regarding if I was the only one kicked out of FB land. So a couple of weeks ago I may or may not have sent ol Zucky a copy of my manuscript for Facebook Girl. And I may or may not have included what I thought was just a friendly introduction letter to the "story" regarding my love for FB and my even bigger love for FB girls. I suppose I envisioned Mark giving each employee a copy for Christmas, I don't know, it would make a great coffee table book. Like I've said, when I get bored with life I tend to write random people/celebs random things. It's just what I do and since Chelsea Handler cut me off I moved onto a new person. Well the day after I sent my little package to Zucky addressed "Facebook Inc, Palo Alto, CA attn: Marky Zuckerbergy" I saw on the Today Show that some nasty kids made a fake profile page making fun of a sad little chubby girl. It was pretty awful, and not even creative in the least. The part that got me was when Meredith went on say that Facebook was seriously looking into this situation because harassment is something they simply do not tolerate and all accounts involved were immediately terminated. Not that my "book" is harassment, because it's not. And the posts from my "book" are all fictional. But... I still kind of went OH SHIT. Sadly, I didn't hear from Mark as fast as I thought I would, in fact, I haven't heard anything at all. So when I couldn't log in 30 minutes ago I was sure my FB life as I knew it was dead. And that was an awful feeling let me tell ya. Especially with Christmas right around the corner. And even worse SPRING BREAK! I can't imagine a spring break season without the novelty of being able to creep on college photos. But I am relieved beyond words to say that I just did log in. That was a close one! Who knows what all I missed from those 25 minutes? I'll never get that time back. I guess on a brighter note I finished work today for the next three weeks. It feels so nice to be in the warm embrace of Christmas break. I've missed you, you little hooker. And I even ended the day on a good note speaking to a bunch of 8th graders. Talk about a motivated group, it was great. They were polite and excited and were all seconds away from getting my autograph certain I am going to be the next Iron Chef. It was adorable. So I guess I don't have much to complain about, even if Zucky didn't find my Facebook novella charming and humerous and call me the second he got it to ask how much it would cost to purchase the rights to it. I don't have to talk to high schoolers for another three weeks and my FB account is alive and thriving. The world is in check.
