Hello, again. Third hate-ish post.
This week, I was
contemplating about writing about either: ‘wise’ sayings with meaningless
pictures in the background, share or so and so will kill you, or the supposedly
Godly messages on Facebook.
Yes, I enjoy
blogging about what peeves me on Facebook. Bite me.
Anyways, after a
while I’ve decided to go for the supposedly Godly messages. They annoy me, like
many many many many many other things, which I shall share with all of you
innocent readers eventually. (bitter laugh to self) But I’m pretty sure I’m
going to ramble on and on…
You may (or may not)
be wondering; what are you talking about, Phoebe? Is it true you’ve finally
grown deranged enough to hate on these, innocent, innocent, innocent, posts on
Facebook? They’re just promoting a good message. That’s all.
My ass.
A very prominent
example is the classic,
"Share if you love
God, ignore if you don’t."
In the past, I admit
I have shared at least a couple of these. Back then it wasn’t much of a deal.
Now they’re everywhere. Every, damn, where. Again, in protest against all the
stupidy, I haven’t shared pictures in months. (With the exception of a couple
of ‘Share and win a free Instax Mini 7s’ pictures. Again, bite me.)
Every time I see one
of these, I seriously feel like sneering. I myself have quite strong beliefs, I
do believe in God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit and so and so, so don’t
misunderstand me for worshiping Satan or something. Seriously, no misunderstandings,
please.
These pictures annoy
me. I hate them, almost as much if not more than the stupid, stupid, stupid
‘wise’ saying pictures. Yes, I GET IT. YOU LOVE GOD. I LOVE GOD TOO.
But please, you
don’t need to fill my whole Home page by sharing like 15 bloody pictures about
HOW MUCH YOU LOOOOVE GOD AND AREN’T AFRAID TO SHOW IT every, single, day.
Let me tell you a
story about one of my friends. (Ex-best friend, actually) Let’s call her…B. Do
not question me why I picked the letter B, by the way.
We used to be good
friends. Not exactly super close, but she was okay. And if any of you know me,
I go through intense filtering before picking out people who eventually DO go
up my friendship ladder. (Acquaintances, friends, okay friends, close friends, best
friends, bestest friends)
Recently we kinda
broke up, relationship wise, and she stopped talking to me. In return, I pushed
her down the relationship ladder. Wait, friendship ladder. Yes, friendship
ladder. But don’t fret, she’s still wavering in between Friends and Okay
friends, but recently I have the feeling I might have to push her down into my
Pit of Hatred. (Let’s call it the PoH, from now on.)
And the story is,
she just started to use Facebook actively recently. And in those few, short months,
she has somehow managed to drive me crazy. Every time someone mentions her
name, I cringe. I’m not joking. (Although, when am I completely serious? You
tell me.)
Every time I go on
Facebook, I see her.
Every, bloody,
where.
Oh, she liked this
photo about not losing her mind and that it just got scared and ran away. You
know who else ran away? My sanity. (Partially)
Oh, she liked a ‘wise’
photo saying “Me without you is like a sneaker without laces, a geek without
braces, asentencewithoutspaces”
Goddammit, why do
people want me to hate them so much?
And not to mention
the fact that B just LOVES to share and like all these posts, originally
derived from Tumblr, in a 10 minute span. 5 pictures in less than 10 minutes?
ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME, WOMAN?!
(deep breath in)
Another point, I remember
when Facebook weren’t all about the annoying pictures. It all started a while
ago, too bad I can’t exactly remember when and I’m afraid someone is going to
go flame me if my estimation is way off, like all my other estimations always
are, the stupidity. At first it was all in good fun. I actually thought some of
them were cute.
But now?
They’re everywhere,
and just thinking about it makes me sick.
SICK, I tell you.
Now it’s not that
much about the Godly messages. No, it’s about ALL THE SHARED PICTURES on
Facebook.
Leave the ‘informative’
pictures on Tumblr, and actually put meaningful stuff on Facebook. Is that so
hard to ask?!
(Another reason why
I don’t use Tumblr)
So, to all the
people who enjoy sharing all the stupidity around and making me squirm
(unknowingly or otherwise), you have been pushed down the friendship ladder.
Good day.
(And to B, if you’re actually reading this, which I doubt
you do since you’ve too busy sashaying your pretty little ass around your newfound
BEST FRIENDS and being an idiot of Facebook, PoH you go! Have fun mingling with
the other Lalas! Cheerio!)
