Like most people I never seem to have time to do everything in a day that I want to get done. So I try and prioritize which means that updating my Facebook status is at the bottom of the list. I logged on today for the first time in ages. I used to waste countless hours playing Bejeweled Blitz and leaving witty one-liners on friends' walls. I enjoyed the ego-boosts of friend requests. It was all kind of fun until I friend'ed too many Facebook junkies. You know these people. They are the ones who keep you in a perpetual water balloon and pillow fight. They suggest you become a fan of this-or-that and join obscure causes. They want you on their YoVille crew and they want to be your neighbor in Farmville. They send you hearts and flair and smiles and lattes and hugs and blah-blah-blah. I feel guilty ignoring these requests but I do it all the time.
Which leads me to a question. Is there appropriate Facebook etiquette for how many quizzes you have to take? How many snowballs do you have to throw before you can end the fight? I wonder what Miss Manners would have to say.
So if you're one of the many whose requests I've ignored, I'm sorry. I just don't have the time to write a testimonial or accept quiz challenges on 80s movies (which I'm pretty good at, by the way.) But I'm almost always up for a chat at Starbucks. I'm powered by caffeine. And that's a request I'm not likely to ignore.
