Wax's #1 Friend V (this is order of, like, making friends - chronological - not order of precedence) just made her get a facebook, and she did it because she's only got 2 friends and she can't afford to be dissing their attempts to keep virtual contact, especially when they switched jobs and got a girlfriend and anyway.
Oh my God, Facebook is making my skin (and Wax's skin) crawl. It's so fucking... normative. Just. Normative. Why would you want to do that? "Blah blah blah is In a Relationship with First Name Last Name"! That's not even touching the "Stories". Or the fucking interface, for the love of little green boxes with lids. Get this site away from me!
Of course, I explicitly want to have as little contact with the people who keep up via Facebook - like, my high school friends - as possible. Thanks to the miracle of the internet, I'm able to interact only with people inside fandom, pretty much, and I've taken full advantage of that. (The one person who made me swear up and down to email her so that we could catch up at our friend's wedding never answered the email - that was a relief.)
