My recent project has been facebook. I have been able to sustain the facebook thing for several weeks now. I have even made connections with my old high school...what do I call it, secret crushes at times, old best friends, and people who wouldn't give me the time of day in high school. I have been faced with a new delimna. A question that I need to send out to ALL three of my faithful blogging friends.
What do you do when you are asked to be someone's friend that you really don't want to be friends with, but don't want to be rude about it either? If you accept them, they can see everything you say to everyone...not that I talk about people behind their backs, or send nudy pictures of myself to my albums (GROSS), but it kinda freaks me out that you have all these little give and takes with people, a conversation if you will, and people can see you having these exchanges. I know that when I blog it is open for people to read, but facebook is like wiretapping. You forget that you are having this personal conversation in a very open setting. The problem is that if you decline friendship with people, they know that you declined them and you are a jerk. So, if I haven't accepted you as a friend, no I am not talking about you. The person that got me thinking about this is a girl from high school who never even spoke to me there and now all of a sudden we are friends. (Not yet, technically as I have not yet responded) So, to accept or not accept, that is the question?!

Unreal.
Just posted a long response and crappy blogger didn't post it.
Not repeating it. Hope it magically shows up somehow!
I did leave this part out: ABOUT BLOODY TIME, GIRL!!! I was about to delete you from my blogroll! It was embarrassing! lol! :D
so what is that answer to my burning question?
Thanks for posting the crap. That's about all my life consists of right now, too (probably the reason I haven't blogged anything in weeks).
To answer your question - I don't have an answer. In the same situation I've done both - not become friends and become friends. For me it depends on the person. Obviously you don't want to be her friend so hit ignore - or just let her sit in cue forever and not answer.
She lives!
CLEARLY the guilt was short-lived... you slotted spoon! *sigh* I suppose we can count on you to update your blog just about as much as we can believe you when you say, "I'll call you right back." or "I don't have your email and I was in a rush to send out that forward to all the Frenches (my real family), and not you because they are the ones I like better, which you can tell by all the pictures of them all over my house." hahahaha ha ha ha... ha. What was I talking about?
QUIT CHATTING TO ICKY MANIACS ON FACEBOOK AND UPDATE YOUR FLIPPIN' BLOG FOR COCONUT'S SAKE!!!
I think you can just ignore their friend request and they won't know. I do it all the time to old high school people that I think are psyco. So far no one has killed me over it. Just pretend you never got the request. She'll forget she even asked.
Oh, and welcome back to blogging. You're on a roll. Keep it going!
Oops, meant psycho, not psyco. Duh.
