Whenever I run into people they are constantly telling me how they live vicariously through me......through Facebook. And I laugh.
Granted, my 20's were wild, crazy, and spectacular. I thank God everyday that the digital world had not yet hit the masses and social networks were nonexistent. We all have those friends (plural) who's profiles don't really equate to how their life really is. From highly photoshopped profile pics, to professing their undying love on FB all the while confiding their undying misery to you on the phone. In a nut shell it's just Facebook and it's all b.s.
I am not saying ignore what is on someones page, there are definite indicators and red flags not to be ignored. This includes spelling errors, sappy quotes, and writing the same way a 14 year old girl texts her best friend. I personally refuse to post anything related to the weather, emotion/relationships, gyms, and/or how blessed I am. That leaves just one thing. Alcohol. But, it's JUST Facebook. Instead of taking 1300 "MySpace Pose"d pictures (see Urban Dictionary definition below), I would rather make people laugh. It's just my nature.
| 1. | myspace pose | 202 up, 26 down |
The pose someone does when taking a photograph of themselves with their ]webcam] for their myspace page. Religiously overused by emos,goths and the like. Clearly you will not be accepted as normal without performing the pose. Instructions on how to create the my space pose: 1. Position or hold your webcam above you so that it is pointed down at you from a high angle. 2. Look up at the camera with your eyes without lifting your head, because otherwise you will not be accepted by your peers if you use your neck. 3. Don't smile. This rule MUST be obeyed. Extra points if you look upset or woeful. 4. Take the photo, then make it black and white on your photo editor. 5. Post it and watch your popularity boom. | ||
