Facebook. Still evil.

I very reluctantly use fb to keep up with real life friends who've abandoned LJ and with family, and occasionally post a photo so they know I'm still alive, but then I friended a couple of people here so we could work on an assignment using fb's 'group' function, and then someone else sent a request, and then someone else, and its now got to 'you have several mutual friends' stage...

I'm going to end up with eleventy billion 20 year old 'friends' with no actual interests in common from my time here, I can tell. Which I suppose won't matter once I get home and stop using it, I guess.

...45 minute later edit. I'm in ten classes so I've interacted with a hella lot of people in the last 3 months. I've just had a friend request from someone who has not so much as said hello to me the entire time I've been here. Why the hell does she want to be fb friends?

Oh god, I don't like FB either. It is freaking weird. I have a RL account that I was pressured into getting, but I post to it once a year, if that. My aunts and cousins have me friended so there's no way I'm going to post stuff on there that actually matters. I would never hear the end of it. *clings to DW*

I am baffled by that lady's friend request too. WTF?

Yeah, I never use it in Oz, but almost all my RL friends have abandoned LJ, so I have to look at it occasionally to see their photos or whatever.
