See, kids: this is what happens when you live in the awkward part of the Venn diagram where “Facebook friends” and “real friends” don’t overlap.

Burl, I don’t know how your party is going to go, but I know how it’s going to end!
I can see it now: Amy and Nathan causing your guests to leave early and uncomfortably after they mention to each and every one of your guests how they were left off the invite list and the probable cause being the unfortunate incident earlier that month when they walked in on you masturbating to a picture of your high school basketball team.
Such a shame.
Lesson to learn here: Always, always remain on good terms with those privy to your masturbatory habits.

I have learned (the hard way, unfortunately) that you should never mention any concrete party plans on facebook. Because someone always thinks that they should have been invited and gets all hurt. Even when it’s literally three friends coming over for dinner.

And yes, the guy who invited himself over because he thought that his invite “maybe got deleted by his spam filter” really did put a damper on things! :p

I wouldn’t have called Emily back either. What a whiner.

Emily bitches over something as simple as the order in which you choose to update your status and call back your friends. Something tells me she may just have a few more complaints to rehash when you call her back.
Hmm, why on earth would you delay calling her back? Weird.

Blur has friends on facebook, like Scott! Who is laughing because Blurs ex-girlfriend Amy is wondering why she wasn’t invited to the party.

Could these people be more banal with their status updates?
“I wonder how my party’s gonna go!” Why bother posting about your vague speculation? I might wonder if I’m gonna get hit by a car tomorrow, but you won’t see me posting that online.
“I’m excited to watch Dancing with the Stars!” Why in God’s name would you admit that to anyone? Is there no shame anymore?

Don’t we all have at least one friend like Emily? You know the one, who every time you call spends at least 5 minutes whining about the fact that you don’t call often enough. Oh wait… that’s Mom. never mind

Emily, Emily, Emily….stalking someone on the internet and pouncing on them literally TWO minutes after they show their presence by updating their status, is a surefire way to NEVER get that callback…but I GUARANTEE Dana is calling the REST of her friends letting them know what a psycho you are.

This reminds me of a time in college when I worked for the school newspaper. One of our reporters said he was gravely ill and had to go home for a couple weeks. We told him no problem, go home, recuperate and you can have your job back when you return. However, once he got home, he threw a party, which he publicized heavily on MySpace. No job for him.

This is exactly why I eschew FaceBook. It seems to attract people who need constant validation. I’m not talking about all you lovely folks, of course.

you know on FB, it’s advisable to be cautious on what you type, such as your status. for instance:
I apologize to the ladies and gents for being so random today but guess what, i’m going home.
–
some ppl thought i was pissed, some thought i was emo but i guess text alone is not enough to figure out the intonation.
i should have type:
He smiled sarcastically “I apologize to the ladies and gents for being so random today but guess what, i’m going home.”

This is why Facebook is a stupid, evil and pointless website ever. The amount of arguments I have seen erupt from provokative status updates is just ridiculous.
And yanks should learn they aren’t the only people on the web.
