Really. I love it. I admit it, a week ago I was saying I hated it, but I just opened my eyes.

I don’t really give a crap about all the application bollocks. Some of those are useful, like the twitter one, so basically, people who don’t follow my status on twitter.com can also not follow my status on facebook. This is pretty cool, isn’t it?

No, I’m thinking about the whole Groups junk. It is mad. I’ve joined a couple groups recently, among which “People Who Always Have To Spell Their Names For Other People” (I would have added “AND IT’S FUCKIN ANNOYING!”), “I FLIP MY PILLOW OVER TO GET TO THE COLD SIDE” (notice how it’s capitalized! actually, as a matter of fact it is kind of important, cause if I don’t get the cold side of the pillow, I don’t fall asleep), “I Use my Cell Phone to See in the Dark” (I think everybody could join that one) or “I Talk to my roommate on msn even though she lives 2 seconds away” (that’s a he in that case, but you got the point).

The thing is, you can create the stupidest group and you can be sure that people will join. So I’ve come up with some ideas: “Please kick Mick Harvey from the Bolands on Sunday nights”, “When I pee it sends shivers down my spine CAUSE I’M LOSING WARMTH!” and “I want to abolish the name eggplant cause it doesn’t look like an egg or a plant”.

PS: Notice how looking for “eggplant” in Facebook groups yields some interesting results…
