Dear Engaged Friends

No, I will not join your wedding group on Facebook and write my address where hundreds of strangers can see it. Yes, I would like to attend your wedding reception. I do congratulate you on entering this exciting new phase of life.

How about a truce. If you don't take it personally when I don't join your group, I won't take it personally when you don't send me an announcement even though we've been friends for years.

I hate Facebook.


::edit::


Okay, this post makes me sound really bitter. I'm not really bitter. I just think it's dumb how people rely on Facebook for all their socialization now. Like, if you're not on Facebook, and somebody is having a party, they'll invite all of their Facebook friends to their party group and there's a good chance you won't even know about it because everyone just talks about it on Facebook.

Dumb.

In other news, Ingrid Michaelson is amazing.

I hate those groups!!! I don't want to put my address for the world to see. I wish that they were events so you aren't forever a member of a group.

No wonder you didn't come home for our 4th of July bash!
And yes, you're smart not to put your address out there in facebook space.

Um Mom. I DID come home for the 4th. And I crashed Dad's car. Remember?

Minor damage. Thanks for making the trip.
