Epic Fail - I am now on Facebook

Yes, if you are a person that knows me you can now "Write On My Wall", send me pictures of cats as "gifts" and other horrors.

I have a belief and it is this - people have one, single card that they can play in terms of massive social dysfunction. And I mean by this, things that it is possible for the person to change - I'm not, of course, talking about anything involuntary or immutable - your friends must deal with those things.

You can refuse have a phone, you can only wear green clothes, you can only eat rice, you can refuse to go to the cinema. But you only have one card. Playing more makes you directly annoying; and you must have extremely positive qualities in other areas which balance this out.

My card is, and has been for a long time, not being able to drive. Most people who know me put up with it, some people who know me well very graciously and kindly help me out with it on a regular basis, for which I am currently and always shall be grateful.

Not being on Facebook was turning into a social disability, because people started REFUSING to try contacting me by other means.

I have been told about people becoming UPSET because they have been refused "friendship". If I refuse you friendship, do not become upset - I may be operating an obscure procedure of internal reasoning which is nothing to do with you. I will assume the same in return.

I await incoming inanity. I punctuated this post weirdly and I apologise.
