My mother is on Facebook

My mother has seemed to find out how to get and use a Facebook page. Yeah I know it is a little scary. That is what happens when you have more than one computer at home. You get your mom and your whole entire family on there, and of course you cannot ignore them. I did like Facebook when it started because it had a less “we want your money” feeling than now. There were no advertisements or anything of that sort and we actually loved it more when we would chat with our friends. Nor did everybody find the nerd who started it added to their profile already. But now Facebook went downwards more than ever, with its lame layout that is not going to change at all and with everyone knowing what you did last night. For example, one of my friends supposedly commented on another friends profile about a party; let’s call him John. Well apparently John’s mom, dad, and pretty much the rest of the family have Facebook. So what my friend did was pretty stupid because he knew they would see it. He went to John’s Facebook and wrote, “JOHN! Last night was awesome until we were run away from the party by the cops.” Well John is underage and has a very conservative family, so he gets chewed out by his dad, mom, and the rest of the family. You know it’s hard when your mom knows everything that is going on your Facebook. I do check it of course, so that I do not get in too much trouble. All of my mom’s friends have one and you know women gossip about everything among each other, so I usually end up getting caught by them. Now with all the applications, stalking, boring stuff that slows your computer down, and everybody finding out your life story and what you did last night, I don’t visit it very often. It became more of a here and there weekly check. I still talk to my friends and try to stay out of pictures as much as possible.
