I joined Facebook yesterday because I'm a moron. That place is a friggin' nightmare for people like me! Sure, there are millions of folks out there who might want to be my "friend," right? Except that I'm the kind of person who assumes that I'm fairly forgettable, so when I come across someone I actually do know, I'm afraid to send a friend request, just in case he or she doesn't remember me. Or worse - remembers me in a negative way. And what about friending a guy I used to date? That's a little weird, yeah? Or the brother of a guy I used to date but dumped abruptly because he talked too much about himself? What about roommates I never got along with? Do I ignore them? Good gravy, I think my brain is turning into goo as I type this.
Anybody got a cure for a full-blown case of the crazies?
(Seriously, though, this is gonna wear off, right? Right? Hello???)

Yes, it wears off, though I pretty much just never request anyone and let them all come to me. Ha! Now I'm off to accept your request. But only because I never dated you or roomed with you, and I find you completely rememberable.
I've never requested anyone either. Except the occasional crush...and that always turned out badly so I've learned my lesson. Let them request you!
I don't really ever request people. I just think if you want to be subjected to my craziness, you should ask for it yourself. -- however in your case I might make an exception!
Also I don't friend men of any sort unless my husband friends them too.
Oh... I'll friend request you! Just because I'm a pain like that :)
Duuude, you actually joined FB?! That means I am really like the only person on the planet who hasn't joined now.
you know what's funny, in the beginning I added nearly everyone...as you can tell I have over 520 friends. lol. It was 560, but some guy I know (Adam) was online and deleting a ton of people that were trashy on his....so I decided that was also a great idea. You can always delete them. I like to figure out how their lives have changed, and for the most part a lot of my friends are drunks and not worth being friends on FB (facebook). I have X's on there, but use your best judgment. That's just what I do :) That man of yours is a good influence you know :)
give yourself about a month... the crazy goes away.
My biggest tip - spend the first day "blocking" and "hiding" the games if you don't want to see every time Joe Schmoe battles a demon in Mafia Ville (or something like that)
My second biggest tip - Friend Lists - I group my friends into the states I knew them from - or "bloggers"... I also have a list known as "others" - where I stick the sorta kinda friendlies and I've limited their access to my info, etc...
And now I know the world is coming to an end soon because YOU are on facebook!
Ha!! I friended you even before I knew about this post! That must mean we are very good friends, and I haven't been blogging all summer or anything!!
Seriously, you made my day when I saw your adorable face show up on my FB profile. It made me so glad to know that my blogging buddies still remember me, and still want to keep in touch! I say, friend who you want to friend! And if somebody pops off with an inappropriate comment or post, you can unfriend them really easily.
It's fun. And Lisa has the right idea.
