If I were the type of person that wanted to go a-stalking across the Fakebook world and a-hunting down former acquaintances and sending out invites to them so that I looked like the most popular woman in the world, I would. 

If I had the inclination to irritate Fakebook users who were just sitting there, minding their own affairs, by prodding them and making it impossible for them not to add me as a friend, that option is available to me.

In reality:

I'm not.

I don't.

Why then am I being inundated with friend referrals from people I probably didn't want to add in the first place???  Clearly it's not enough that a person's existence is validated when they are added as a friend by someone they haven't spoken to for 10 years, probably wouldn't cross the street for, and don't even give a shit about... Now they have to have their own friend choices validated!  

You're a fully grown adult!!!!   Also, I'm not in highschool anymore.  I'm too old for this peer pressure shit!!

Also, how do I get rid of that absolutely ridiculous box that tells me that because I know Suzie*, I probably want to add Daniel* as well?  Here's a news flash: I don't bloody know Daniel*!!  I probably don't even know Suzie*!!!!!  This is not a bookstore, your opinion is not informed, and it's no bloody good to me!

Arghhhhhhh!

Riss the... drawing breath and conducting a benefits to disadvantages assessment in order to determine her future course on an informed basis.

* Not their real names.  If only I could change mine and escape this madness.
