THERE ARE A FEW OF MY OLD SCHOOL FRIENDS ON MY FACEBOOK LIST.
ONE OF THEM IN PARTICULAR-(HATE IS A STRONG WORD SO I WILL USE DISLIKE ! ! !)
PUTS REALLY DAFT THINGS ON HER STATUS SUCH AS
"JUST RECEIVED MY GORGEOUS DIOR BAG THIS MORNING,CANT WAIT 2 USE IT "
OR "CANT WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR MIAMI-JAMAICA-EGYPT-HERE I COME "
OR "NEED 2 GET MY PORTFOLIO IN SHAP FOR MY MODELLING"

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH THIS TOTALLY NARKS ME AND I CANT STAND IT !
U MAY BE WONDERING WHY I ACCEPTED HER AS A FRIEND,2 BE HONEST I DO LIKE 2 HAVE A NOSEY AROUND AND SEE WAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DOING SINCE SCHOOL (HOWEVER I HAVE SET MY PRIVACY SETTINGS SO SHE CANT SEE MY PICS ETC !)
IF I SEE THE PERSON IN QUESTION IN THE STREET WE DONT EVEN TALK,SHE IS QUITE SNOBBY AND TENDS 2 LOOK DOWN HER NOSE AT PEOPLE.
AM I BEING UNREASONABLE ?

I've just got onto my fb page and told everyone I've moved to Italy and am shagging a count.

I think rolling around on top of jewels sounds a bit uncomfortable tbh. [ponders]

It was Bellabelly, and these are only craft ones. Real rubies and emeralds must hurt like buggery.

FWIW the one person I know who has the most glamorous and wealthy lifestyle, never posts updates on FB. Luckily we are in touch anyway, but I would love to read her updates (lunches with WAGS, nights out with sports stars, lots of holiday homes ).

oh i'm the opposite. i'm always rolling round in diamonds, meeting footballers in swanky bars and being jetted off t paris for a spot of spotting but my facebook status usually reads something like
fucksticks is making tea [modest]

I have RL friends like that and have to tolerate bragging face to face. Poor me.
I wouldn't use Facebook if I were you. Full of awful self promoting people.

Oh facebook's alright, it's there for a purpose and it's just a bit of fun - don't take it so seriously (or are you 14?).
I put pictures of dd on it for my family abroad and lots people I know do it too, if someone seem to be hogging it just hide them for a while, or don't look at it for a week or so, what's the big deal?

Jux · 22/05/2009 15:33

I have now told everyone I am rolling around on my jewels (and that I've turned into a dragon).

Facebook can be dreadful- it is like the awkward school reunion- ALL THE BLOODY TIME!
I'll still use it occasionally though.

I also think that people who brag on facebook must lead a boring life really as they spend most of their time on there
as opposed to on here!
