Friend you or not?

Facebook friend-ing is one of the most awkward online abilities. Certain situations are acceptable for friend-ing, but others....not so much. For instance, you meet someone at a bar for about a minute. Not acceptable, psychopath. But other situations, say you meet someone but you end up hanging out with them for quite a while,  is a little more understanding. Recently, I was put into a situation by a new friend (or foe), we won't use names...Drew, and he decided to friend someone from my Facebook that I do not know well enough, basically making me look like a complete stalker. Yay. Also, have you ever realized that you may have a Facebook friend from many moons ago that you don't know very well or don't know very well anymore and yet they can still see everything you're doing? I guess with me, everything that I'm doing is pretty strange. My best friend and I, Hannah Lane, live a bit of a distance apart, so one way we can keep in touch is through Facebook videos. Yes, the most public display of communication. Our videos aren't just simple "Hello's!" either, they quite often consist of lip syncing songs that are just terrible creations from terrible artists, or staring into the abyss for about a minute. I realized today that people I do not know very well can definitely see these videos and probably think I am a lunatic. But it's ok, because the people who know me very well and vice-versa appreciate how strange I may be. So, you're welcome. Just kidding. Random Fact: Every time someone says "just kidding",  seventy-five percent of the time they are being honest. Hope that doesn't cause any tiffs! Have a scrumtralescant evening.
