How boring can Facebook get?

Is it me or has Facebook gotten exponentially more banal in the last few months? How many times do I have to read about what someone is eating or how bored someone is (thanks for posting that and making me bored, too!)?

Give me Twitter any day. At least I can choose whom I want to follow (Darth Vader is always good for a laugh) without pissing off any friends.

    Crap. I forgot you were on my list. You're so quiet on there these days.

    Try taking my "How well do you know Em" quiz. You might do better than the Beaves and SweetTea.You'll for sure do better than Brooklyn Potter. :wink:

    I will look at the quiz, but I do not promise to take it. I hate most of those silly quizzes. Yours better be cool.

    Facebook rules! I'd rather read the possibly boring status from a friend who I haven't had contact with since middle school than follow some celebrity's twitter any day.

    Plus there is always Attack!

    I like the quizzes. The personality ones are so much cheaper and more accurate than therapy.

    I enjoy taking the quizzes. :)

    I haven't seen that mathematical quiz , yet.

    I just took the "Which LOL Cat are you? quiz. My result was the
    I Can Has Cheezburger? cat.

    Em, would you really take the "which mathematical function are you" quiz? Do you really want to know if you are a "square root"?

    (It sounds like MeredithB made this up, actually.)

    Danielle123 , I took the "What mental disorder do you suffer from? quiz. They told me I'm suffering from Autism. I call bullshit on that one , yo.

    I'm aware that I have a problem. They're addicting. If someone takes a quiz I am 99.9% likely to click on the "take this quiz now" link.

    I'm fine. I am.


    :help:

    I really am a good driver!! :cheers:

    No tickets , ever.

    I do speed.Wait..not the drug. I mean I go over the speed limit often.

    Not in NY. Never drove here. Never will.Crazy drivers here make me look damn good.

    Nope. A friend of mine is the Bessel Function: J_n(x) and I have absolutely no clue what that is. But I could probably start applying it to my life if J, n or x is alcohol.

    MB what the fuck is your new avatar? Do you have crabs in your trashy parts?

    I think J and N are subway lines and X used to be one.

    Okay, here is a prime example of my formerly fun friends who are now lame and booo-ring. I gently teased a friend who, in the past, would have laughed heartily and given it right back to me (a relative of his gushed about how wonderful he was - I replied, "How much did you pay her to write that?" with a smiley face). He emailed me and asked if he had done something to offend me because I seem to be making fun of him recently. He titled his email to me "WTF?"

    UGH!!!! I told him to fuck off....okay, no, I didn't. I just thought that. I actually asked him if there was some re-branding of his image in a more serious vein that I somehow wasn't aware of. We'll see what the response is.

    D123 e-mail can be very misunderstood. This is why you need to come out with us so we can all razz each other in person and laugh in each other's faces!
