My Facebook page is really starting to annoy me.

[Katy]

How come as soon as some of the pot bellied losers I went to high school with notice my "single" status, they assume that it's okay to use some of their cheesiest lines on me?

I should post some of them up in this thread...

Today I got one from some guy who graduated a year ahead of me saying:

"I noticed ur single. We should chat sometime and have drinks."

Yeah, like that's going to happen. :x I don't even know the guy.

Is it a crime to be single BY choice?

I am highly considering shutting down my Facebook page. If the people I went to high school with are as boring and as stupid as they are on Facebook, why would I want to go to any reunions?

:twisted: single bi choice, im sure is fine with the majority of us.

I haven't been to any reunions since 5 year (they had 35 last year... ). Haven't been in touch with anybody except my best friend from HS since then. When I got on FB earlier this year I suddenly got friend requests from dozens who I haven't seen, heard from or thought about in 35 years. Kind of interesting to see what everybody's doing.

Facebook has been great for me to get back in touch with people from the old days. I've found a whole new niche in dating...divorcees. I had no idea how fruitful it could be.

Rack Facebook.

It's been both good and bad for me... I have to say that me and the woman before my ex-wife are close again... and in a good way. :twisted:

I've reconnected with a number of old friends from high school, most of whom I haven't seen since the summer after graduation (1982). Our class had a get-together recently that was attended by about 50 people. Not too bad considering that our class' Facebook page only went up about a month ago.

[Katy]

I've enjoyed reconnecting more with my college classmates than my high school classmates. I hated high school. Most of my high school classmates refer to me as "the mean girl." My attitude has been and will always be, that was nearly 20 years ago. Get over it. :D

In fairness, it's all they know you as most likely. We tend to mature once we hit our college years so they probably don't know the more mature version of you.

For example, my buddy Dustin from HS whom I hadn't seen since then was the posterchild for ADD. It was brutal sitting next to him in class because he couldn't sit still for 2 seconds without punching/stabbing with a pencil the person sitting next to him. He had no problems cutting ass in class, was very loud, etc.... And he was a HORRIBLE student. Surprised he even graduated. Funny as shit though!

10 years later dude is about as mature of a person as you could meet. He's got a good job, a nice home, a lovely wife. I almost shit myself when he shook my hand like an adult. And then when I saw him hold the door for his wife, I was in complete shock. I still have a mark on my leg from when he stabbed me with a pencil in 7th grade for telling him I thought his sister had a nice butt. I showed him the mark so he bought me a beer and apologized. Weird.

I can completely relate to that. Most here know that I was a military brat growing up so I lived all over the damn place while I was growing up and have friends on my facebook from just about every community I lived in short of Arkansas and California.

Midway through my sophomore year my father was transferred from Fort Bragg to UT in Austin to be a guest instructor for Military Law and Juris Prudence. We lived in a pretty nice apartment complex but the neighborhoods surrounding it while not bad certainly weren't good either. I had a pretty large and eclectic group of friends (Black, White, Asian, Hispanic, even a token Jew) out there. We were a pretty crazy group, did a lot of crazy shit... nothing highly illegal mind you, just young and stupid shit like underage drinking in a field or at a friend's house whose parents were out of town, might have smoked a little pot here and there, some of the people were crazier than others and myself. A couple of years ago they were organizing the ten year reunion and one of the organizers found me on facebook through another girl I went to both HS and college at OU with. I couldn't go to the reunion because I was at the tail end of my fight against cancer but ever since then it has been a slow trickle here and there of people I knew; some were pretty close to me at that time in my life. Some of the people got stuck in the mentality of the neighborhood (some people who I didn't expect would), others are just getting their lives together finally, and some have done pretty damn well for themselves or are in the military. One of the smartest guys I knew turned out to be a complete moron and has had his door kicked in by the cops multiple times for dealing dope, another guy who I never thought would amount to much ended up graduating from Texas Summa Cum Laude and is a member of the Texas Legislative Council (the brotha was nuts in HS... I mean NUTS). Honestly, along with him I feel that the two of us have done better in life than just about anyone else that I went to school with and have heard about or spoken to since then.

My only question is why you guys aren't my Facebook buddies? :D

[SunCoastSooner]

Because I know you as Katy... the poster from T1B.

[Katy]

Don't hold that against me.

[WolverineSteve]

You haven't requested.

[Katy]

Send me your email addy and I'll request ya. :D

[Political Operative]

I am already...

[BarFlie]

My only question is why you guys aren't my Facebook buddies? :D

because you prank call me with your bitch posse :D

Don't lie. You enjoy every minute of it, old man. :D

I enjoy Katy's presence not as much as The Beloved's but I do like you...

[SunCoastSooner]

I'll put it like this on the matter of facebook and the people in this forum. I'd be more than happy to have anyone on the forum on my friend's list but sure as hell not going to post my information on the board in semi-public view. Anyone is more than welcome to shoot me a PM and I'd more than happily respond.

[smackaholic]

my fb account has my real name with real aquaintances. this board is where i do battle with cyber fliends/enemies and have a good laugh. i think it would be a good idea to keep the two separate although I would like to chat with or even have a beer with some of you fukkers.

what pisses me off about fb is that as your fliends list grows, your wall very quickly gets bogged down with a whole buncha shit you'd rather not have to sift through. i guess it's time to go through my account and do some hiding/deleteing of tards.

Understood.

I guess maybe I just don't care if both my worlds collide. I'm pretty much an open book on these boards and have never quite given a shit what anyone said. I've heard it all over the years from you [not intended as smack]assholes[/not intended as smack] and I just roll with it.

I have quite a few people from .net, SN, T1B, TT and Mag7 as FB friends. The worst possible scenario is that I get wytched with a few cocks in my mouth. If that happens and it's a good wytch, I'll just laugh about it.

[WolverineSteve]

I'm with Katy and Butts here. WGAF!! In the spirit of this forum, why hide behind anonimity?

Hell Katy's at over 1600 friends....who'll see you there anyway

[Katy]

I post inane shit on my FB wall anyway. Not only do I suck as a poster on here, I suck on FB.


:P

I've lived all the country throughout my life so worlds have already collided for me in as many ways as possible.

Apparently, I stalk The Beloved but Katy is a great gal that warrants one but not a creepy dude, not mentioning names...

[Katy]

Yeah, one stalker is plenty enough for me.
