Remember when your facebook profile displayed the day you joined right below your birthday? Remember when you could be a "groupie," which meant that you weren't in a particular group, but you were totally a fan? Remember when facebook was just for college students? Remember when Notes became a new application?
I'm so totally sick of getting lame "vampire requests" from people I hardly even really know. Or "likeness quizzes." Or zombie bites. I mean, seriously. Are we really giving each other virtual zombie bites in a virtually public place where everyone we know and are even remotely connected to can see and judge?
Don't get me wrong; I have a couple applications (the video application doesn't count because it's practical). I have the Chess application. This is so that I can intellectually rival my peers in a classic and internationally respected way. I also recently added the Harry Potter Spell Casting application, or something like that. This is purely so I can pretend that I go to Hogwart's and got sorted into Ravenclaw with my friend Brendan and all the other sparklingly clever peers we have and that lovely crest can be emblazoned next to my wall for all to see and covet.
So far the crest is working. I really love rubbing my intelligence, wit and non-conformity in the faces of all those wannabes that sorted themselves into Gryffindor in the hopes of pretending that their bitter, desperate little lives are better because they are that much closer to being like Harry Potter. Pssht...get over it!
The Chess application is terrible. It does the opposite of the Ravenclaw crest: I've lost 2 of 2 games and I'm pretty good at chess! I think it's because the games take place over many days. And I only get my moves in in between wall posts or photo creeps, so I'm never really concentrating. And I'm always rushed because I'm afraid my boss or coworkers will find me playing games by means of the online community they clearly know I'm dependent on. Needless to say, the chess ain't working out for me.
All in all, I'd say facebook was better when I didn't have to make five and a half complete mouse-wheel rotations before getting to someone's wall.
Oh well, such is life.
PS. If I went to Hogwart's I'd major in Charms. My double minor would be in Transfiguration and either Potions or Divination.
What would YOU major in at Tom Riddle's Alma Mater?

Ok so I got sorted into Gryyfindor and I was hoping for Slytherin, I mean as an ESTP I would be Draco....I would def major in Transfiguration, and minor in charms.
Yo, I ain't no wannabee, ya see?! I wanted to be be sorted into Ravenclaw and alas, I am just too brave and fabulously courageous NOT to be in Gryffindor (quite like Hermione). As for my studies, I would double major in Charms and Defense Against the Dark Arts so that I could "charm" the bad guys and just when their guard is down, I'd wack 'em with some "Expelliarmus!" Also, I would only major in DADA if I were the hero of my own fictional world and it was predetermined that I wasn't going to be killed on duty.
