Facebook.
It's rubbish.
I love that I can go on there and catch up with peeps from all over the place, particularly when my friends are all off traveling or getting hitched or having kids and other exciting things. It's great for that - but rubbish when people use it to cure boredom and post all their worries and opinions as status updates.
There is one girl who I used to get along with well. She's now married and living abroad. Her status is changed twice daily at least and is ALWAYS stating an opinion about someone or something. It sucks because I know she is so much deeper than her online character represents her to be. She comes across as a racist, ditzy, complaining, stuck up, spoilt, self obsessed, rich girl... But that's not at all what she is when you get her in the flesh for a chat! It's crazy- and- her pictures are all of her wide eyed, brows raised, perfect Hollywood smile rubbish... Makes her look like an idiot to me. Grrr. I often wonder if my online identity is representing me as a much different person to what I really am.
Dont get me wrong - I'm all for the looking your best in pics... But not when you start looking like a goldfish out of water who has just heard Andrew O'Keef call your name to play for 2 million big ones. No... That's when you stop looking good and start to look like an idiot.

I'm sorry... I'm definitely guilty of the status update thing... I'll try and stop its just I don't want to put anything to private on there for everyone to see so I keep it pretty shallow and save the good stuff for face to face!!
Nick I love your updates haha because you actually update people with what you are doing... I'm talking about the real shallow ones like 'I hate getting stuck behind Asians in the supermarket' .... And what's worse is that they then comment on their status and have a good old bitch about it for the whole world to see... It just makes me sad because it gives people the impression that they are these horrible shallow people- but really they are just bored.
