Just a "u now who ur", which bugs me even more because I have to read the line 2 or 3 times to decipher it, then I'm annoyed at myself for giving it more attention than it deserves.<br /><br />I very rarely put any status messages up there.

I am the master of the subtle message, mostly directed at people who would roll their eyes if they could decipher that that's what I'm doing. <br />I try to keep it light though, and funny and relevant to everyone.

Or when someone says they have a cold and you click "I like this" - facebook has it's moments :D<br /><br />Hails - You're way too nice :) I'm a bit of a hard nut to crack in that sense, I think if it's important enough, my good friends know I'm there with an ear whenever I'm needed.Please Don't Eat With Your Mouth Openhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09246896544080806179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30034378.post-86863394361807824492009-05-19T16:15:00.000+01:002009-05-19T16:15:00.000+01:00I've never done Facebook `properly'.

I have, instead, this empty profile under a carefully thought out pseudonym which allows me to `have a nose' of other people's (public) profiles but not to actually become personally embroiled in the whole thing. Crafty, huh?<br /><br />I am, therefore, not au fait with all this status updating malarky. But I can confirm via having a `good old nose' on the site today that an (ex) friend of mine from my college days (who always fancied herself rotten but actually looked very much like the snooker champion, Steve Davis) is now going out with someone who looks just like Alex `Hurricane' Higgins.

I'm inclined to be the one who offers the sought-after "oh, poor you" comment, because I guess it can't be much fun to be that lonely, with no one to talk to.

Now, I am not perfect and my status updates tend to sit on the bizarre side of the line (my current being: "I can do headstands! Now, would you like to see that? Would you...? The...? Would you like to see that?" which is a quote from Green Wing) but I don't think I moan as much via FB as she does and her presence really irks me. It's so passive agressive. I just don't know why I don't delete her... <br /><br />That said, I do love a lot of the FB updates that come through my feed. I seem to have a bunch of friends who are as random as they come and put the strangest, most intriguing things up.
