Oh my God, I realized I haven't blogged anything at all since a day or two before my last paper!!! Hmm... time for some light reading... And judging by the length of this post, you might be able to conclude that I am, actually, quite free.

I was reading through my copy of 8-Days while shitting and found this article that was really interesting:

15 Facebook Don'ts

1) Do not write anything on anyone's Facebook Wall that can land them in hot soup.

"Happy Birthday" ... is okay, but "Eh, I saw you kissing this girl who didn't look like your girlfriend!", "Heard you went for job interview... Have you tendered?" Remember, the walls have ears.

2) Do not be a Facebook whore.

Adding people from primary school you can't even remember, friends of friends you met for three minutes, and assorted complete strangers just makes you look desperate to break that 500-friend barrier.

3) Do not assume that people want a play-by-play of your tedious little life.

Nobody cares that you're in the shower one second, and scrubbing off toe jam the next.

4) Do not be passive-aggressive.

If you're upset with someone, take the issue up in person. Don't wring Facebook sympathy by writing things like "X is disappointed and hurt. Why did you do that to me?"

5) Do not tag your friends in photos in which they look drunk, fat, or are missing articles of clothing.

Even if you look fab in those photos. You don't want to start a bout of revenge-tagging.

6) Do not post photos that are more than 10 years old.

No one wants to be reminded of their geeky, bad-haired secondary school days, especially me.

7) Do not wait two days before accepting a friend request just because you want to appear parked on Facebook 24/7.

Everyone can tell from your flurry of Superpokes that you are, in fact, online.

8) Do not use Facebook for work-related matters.

Imagine being comfy at home, ready for an extended session of Facebook-stalking, when you receive a message from your boss that your Powerpoint presentation wasn't up to scratch. Sucks.

9) Do not start a Facebook group claiming that you can save an Amazonian tribe from urbanization if you get 1,000,000 members.

Facebook cannot save the world.

10) Do not inundate your friends with invitations to play Texas Hold'Em poker, Vampire Wars, or any other game, or ask them to take personality quizzes to find out what beer / breed of dog / '70s song they are.

Those applications were fun when Facebook first launched four years ago. Now, they're just tiresome. (But "Guess The Sketch" is fun!!!!)

11) Do not update your profile every three hours.

People aren't as interested in the progress of your facial hair as you think they are.

12) Do not have a protracted Wall-to-Wall conversation with your friend.

If you need to talk, pick up the phone or send an e-mail. The world doesn't need to know that the two of you are completely indecisive about where to have dinner tonight.

13) Do not engage in FDA (Facebook Displays of Affection) with your beau.

Writing things like "I love you baby, and I can't type properly because you're lying on my lap" just makes people want to gag.

14) Do not break up by changing your relationship status to 'Single'.

Also, don't change your relationship status for the heck of it. Being "engaged" to one friend on Tuesday, then "married" to another on Wednesday is juvenile. (Unless it's an honest mistake. ;) You know who you are.)

15) Lastly, do not complain if people do any or all of the above.

Nobody's forcing you to be on Facebook!

Manners would make a man
Apologies, to things can mend
Thank for what gets grant
Plead for what you want

Actions define your class,
Only from the heart it should be,
Instincts that reflects thee,
Hypocrites will finish last.

Do unto others,
What you would others do unto you,
But seek revenge,
And it only begets,
Another avenge.
