One thing that did surprise me, though, was when this girl told me that her work tries to check people's facebooks before they hire them on, and if they can't find one they don't even consider hiring them.

    even my mother, who divorced a couple years ago and started dating some guy she met off a dating site, said she felt she could trust him more because he had a Facebook. could nobody trust anyone before Facebook?? lol i guess i'm going to have to eventually make myself a new one just so i seem "trustworthy" in the business world, but i don't like how it's taking over EVERYTHING. lol
    As hooked as I am, I don't put personal details on there. I'm always a little surprised at what people post for 600 of their closest friends to see!

    As for not having a Facebook making you less trustworthy- I completely disagree. 99% of what I see on Facebook is either complete fabrication or grossly exaggerated. I see women with 18 albums full of cropped headshots. I see mothers posed with their scantily clad 15 year old daughter commenting on how beautiful she is. If you believe everything you see on Facebook, you'd have to believe that women ALWAYS have their hair done and their make up on. Every man in America has a piping hot five course home made meal waiting when he gets home. Kids never tell you you're the meanest mom ever. And we all secretly hate our best friend.

    I wouldn't trust anyone who thinks you're sketchy for not having a Facebook!

    Wait... what?! You must be confused because everything you read on the internet is definitely true, that's why it's called the internet!

    Everyone calm down! Everything on Facebook is in fact true and accurate! My stupid elf got ahold of my phone while I was in the shower! I need to remember to log out...

    Okay, thanks for the reassurance, I thought I couldn't trust you anymore. Oh yeah, you always log out, you loose major awesome points if you don't take the opportunity to make ppl say weird stuff if they leave their account signed in and unattended.

    oh my goodness, major pet peeve of mine inc...

    Listen up little pre-teens...you did not "hack" your besties account. You merely used the same computer and said bestie forgot to log out. This does not mean you "hacked" it.

    pfft...back in my day *gets out cane* we had to upload keyloggers on our friends computers to hack their accounts and mess with them. Dang whippersnappers...*shakes cane*

    I'm done.

    *puts cane away* That's my shakin' cane. This here's my walkin cane *gets another cane*

    WHERE IS UPS?!
