Things That Annoy Me In The Middle Of The Night

Getting home to my computer after 3 days, and finding shitloads of people making Facebook their forum, with email notifications being sent out.

Hey Albert, why not turn off the email notifications?

What if something they say relates to me?!?

What’s worse is all of you sending me the Facebook song on my Funwall… when I already have 3 of those on my Funwall. I’ve already joined as many Burmese revolutions as there are red shirts in my wardrobe.

What about the other notifications which I never turned off? I apparently got a few drinks and various gifts but never got a single email about them. I wonder how many of you think I’m an ungrateful bastard, when I don’t actually know how to get around the site.

Then there’s that Requests page, which is not linked from anywhere on top. After I say “Yes, I want to join your annoying unoriginal application” I have to hit Back a few times to join another annoying unoriginal application. Vampires, chumps, werewolves, zombies, what else yo?

I also untick everyone to spare them from getting chainmailed too, but I don’t know how many of you actually get invites from me to join those annoying unoriginal applications. My apologies if you do! Nowadays I just hit Back upon finding out I gotta force my friends to use it.

And yes, I actually feel an obligation to join these annoying unoriginal applications, because after all, you sent it to me right? You wanted me to join them, right? That’s why you sent me the invitation, right?

And who gives a shit about those fights, and all the messages? I’d rather get poked or get a hug, kiss or lick. Or a Naughty Gift in the form of a Handjob, because the icon for that is cute.

The problem with all these repetitive redundant applications, and why I won’t remove them, is because people are hugging and poking me through so many different applications!

Fortunately, I still have a good memory, so I must say, thank you Steph for the Facebook curse!

MSN

Going online at home and having it hang on me every 2 minutes, freezing for 15 seconds, cutting me off midsentence, and occasionally transposing the rest of my sentence in another chat window (I usually Alt-Tab when I’m done typing but not all the sentence comes out… but somehow, the Alt-Tab gets sent to Windows before the second half of the sentence.)

It also hangs whenever somebody comes online… especially if someone has a Meego for their display picture.

Until I reformat my computer, I won’t be on MSN at home. Not like I like coming online anyway; I prefer more passive online activities. I’ve never been any good at multitasking… which is why IRC annoyed me so much. I could find a million more productive things to do on the computer than to go A/S/L and /slap people with a trout.

I think my computer just doesn’t like being charitable, because the problem started around the time of the i’m initiative. This thing doesn’t even work in Malaysia, if you’ve read the fine print.
