Getting Freaky with the Facebook

Due to that scene in The Social Network, my teenage daughter and I often call Facebook “The Facebook,” just to be ornery. Facebook is making me ornerier than usual these days. I think about disconnecting Spotify from Facebook, due to the reactions I sometimes get from others based on my musical choices.  (Yes, a person can like Bruno Mars AND Coolio in the same day.) Usually, however, those reactions delight and amuse me, so I haven’t made that leap.

Now, though, the Facebook has decided to help me figure out how I’m feeling or what I’m doing by offering prompts:

 

THANK GOODNESS BECAUSE IF IT WEREN’T FOR FACEBOOK I COULDN’T FIGURE IT OUT!

Sigh. Anyway, I was playing with the new updates and decided to post one, for fun (and if you haven’t yet figured this out, THIS IS A CAUTIONARY TALE.)

 

Heaven forbid!

Well, I didn’t find this scandalous, and still don’t, but BE WARNED, if you listen to a lovey-dovey song, and then post something like this on your Facebook profile, RUMORS WILL FLY.

Good thing no one is paying attention to me on Pinterest.
