Facebook warnings, Twilight idiocy and awesome librarians!

[kseenaa]

I encourge any and all that have Facebook to read this article:
Facebook is turning evil for profit... Facebook no longer as safe as before.

After reading that, I am so, so happy I don't have a Facebook. And I won't be getting one, despite all the invites and questions from friends and family. It just won't happen girls and boys. Just saying. I am feeling much more at home here, thank you. Here I decide how much I want to share, and what I want to share. :-P

spicehobbit posted one off those awesome links that show just how insane Twilight fans are.... They don't even get it when they are being played at... X-D Check this out:
Twilight vampire intervention

Anyway, today has been all kinds off awesome. I was invited along to a Planning-day and Christmas-celebration thing at my bosses boss's home. Quite awesome, I must say. :-) Lots off boring planning was done, and after that there was a ton off awesome Christmas-food. And after that we played a Christmas-gift-game... Yeah. You read that right. It involved dices and gifts. And it was really, really fun. Again it is proved that the librarians I work with are awesome slightly crazy people. Oh, I'll miss them dreadfully when I won't work with them anymore. I also got almost two weeks off during Christmas and New Years! o.O And they gave me so much praise today for my work, that I blushed and didn't know what to say. I do have trouble taking compliments, so... I love working as a librarian, I really and honestly do. Especially with people like this. To bad it is just as a trainee. :-/

After that I went and shopped the last off the Christmas-gifts. ALL DONE NOW! Fuck yeah! And thank gawd for second hand stores. Seriously. Not only are they cheap, but they have so much odd stuff you can find gifts to anyone. Just what I needed because I had the most troublesome people on my list left. There, all solved. YAY! :-D

Oh well. Almost caught up with my flist. :-) Tomorrow we'll clean out the apartment (it is very needed) and then we'll go to the vampire-LARP in the evening! :-D Woot! Will be a great weekend this, I just know it!

Facebook creeped me right out. I didn't have it very long because it was suggesting damn near every person I ever e-mailed or ever posted a comment in their blog as a friend. As well as people I didn't know from Adam friending me, some were friends of friends or friends of relatives but most were just out of nowhere. I'd already faked my name but after I read a Slashdot article on how stuff that was "friends only" was public, I used a fake name generator and became a 56-year-old Japanese-American woman from Missouri and changed my schools to Hogwarts. Gads, I was creeped out enough but when I was able to read about parties and stuff posted by people I didn't know, with street addresses and everything, I thought, ugh ugh ugh.

Myspace is whacked enough, though it's less creepy. I think a lot of Myspacers bailed to Facebook because Myspace takes forever to load/too teenie-bopperish. I can see where Failbook would be useful like for class reunions but I don't understand people using it for their jobs.

Yeah... I did have MySpace for a while, but I never felt at home there. To many teen's or people acting as teens. :-/ In a not good way. But yeah. Facebook = very creepy. I couldn't agree more with you.

I have a facebook but I hate it. I have like my brother on it and a few people I don't have on myspace.. but I never talk to them.. really. =o| I don't care if it went public as that is my most tame profile thing. If MYSPACE went public - I'd be fucked! lol

What is going to happen when you are done training?

I have to wrap christmas presents to see what all I have.. Then I can see if I need more.. pretty sure I have like no stocking stuffers.. It's sucks.. bad. =o|

Well, I have never liked Facebook at all, and always refused to use it. Not only because off this new development, but also because everything you post on Facebook, photos, pictures or texts, belongs to Facebook to do with as they wish. Not to you. :-/ Yeah. Fuck them, I say.

After my trainee work is over and done with and I can't stay anymore after the 26th of February, I'll be 100% unemployed again. Sad thing is, I lose a hell off a lot off money being a trainee. :-/ Insane, I say but thats the rules the government has given us poor employed people. :-P

I´ll keep my FB account. It wasn´t that hard to change the settings, and as I´m aware of FB´s policy of owning everything you put there, I don´t put any private/semi-private there at all.
If FB wants to keep info like "XX made prawn soup for lunch" and "XX wants to watch Avatar", well go ahead. There´s more info about me on google!

Yeah.... Well, me FB just creep out. Since the idea is that your supposed to go under your real name there. I am not comfartable with that really. In the Student Union Pub and on the net I am KSena. End off story.

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

haha yeah i admit it i can be a total creeper. it's so easy to just keep clicking and zoning out and before you know it you're looking at someone's pictures who you barely know; i.e your elementary schools brothers girlfrinds dog.
