My roommate doesn't have Facebook

Quote from: Chaotic Silly Putty;1649383You see, I don't need facebook because I'm so popular that peeps are comin by my house all the time. I'm startin to get a little sick of it, to be honest.

You can't even say that when you pretend to be a fucking thing with a clock for a face in your spare time.

I only got a Facebook account because other people at work had them. This kinda sucks, because I have a lot of work-related contacts, and then my friend sends me invites for stupid apps like "sexy outfit" and Werewolves and other stuff I don't want other people in my field to see (AKA my personal life). And if I don't friend them, I'll look like a bitch.

It's risky. Some students at the college where I work posted some racist videos online and made the national news, embarrassing our whole school. Employers and schools notice these things.

I prefer going by alternate names instead of this social networking stuff. Being free to be yourself is suppose to be part of the appeal of the internet. But loss of privacy is a big, big concern.

Which is why I never mix my real life with my "internet life" and why you guys will never see my facebook (for the most part)

My friends are evenly split between Myspace and Facebook, so I have to use both. I'm sick of the goddamn app invites.

Facebook is terrible because people expect you to keep up with all the inane shit that happens on it. If I want to talk to you I will call you.

FishbagClock · August 17, 2009, 06:58:25 PM

BUT GIZE IF U DONT USE FACEBOOK UR A LOOSER LOL\

Nah, what I was saying is that where I'm from, everyone has facebook, even if you don't use it, you have it for shits and giggles or because a friend pressured you into getting it. You don't have to use it. I just found it weird that this guy didn't have it because I rarely find someone who doesn't have Facebook, even like my mom and grandma have it.

I only use it for checking people out before I know them or after I just meet them, just like my roomate but he doesn't fucking have facebook so I can't do that. WHAT A DICK.

Or post pictures of yourself drinking underage. Or be Jewish. Or a Journey fan. Or anything else that your boss doesn't like. Some employers want people's actual account passwords.

I've wanted to show my flash animations my friends and family, but I can't because it means showing them my NG account.

Quote from: Franklin G. Hamilton;1649404just ignore app invitations like pretty much everyone else on facebook

I have been.

Oh man, I know what you mean. Recently my internet life on Newgrounds and such clashed with my real life and it sucked. One of my friends googled the shit out of my name for like 3 hours and found my NG and it was so embarrassing. He was so confused about Locks and Clocks and dicks and stuff...

And quite frankly, I dont want to be apart of a social networking site ever again. Especially after myspace..

Facebook/twitter are ruining the internet.

I've stopped being bothered by that now that I'm kind of officially an animator in real life and most of the people I hang around with are into animation and art and stuff. I put a link to my clock day movie on facebook and no one thought it was weird.

I'm hoping I will have a similar experience when I start animation class in a few weeks.

I thought it was fucking amazing.. Probably my favorite out of the bunch.. Reminded me of "The yellow submarine." for some odd reason.

Just so ya know.

I guess it's different when you actually have sk1llz.

PaperClipClock · August 17, 2009, 08:11:55 PM

people can not have facebooks and be perfectly fine, but when people don't have a facebook and have a bunch of excuses to why they don't have one, then they're bad.

This.
Seeing how I use the name "TehBanStick" on any site I sign up to, it isn't hard for a certain friend o' mine to go on a Google frenzy for the term "TehBanStick" and dig up any old thing.

But luckily on any site that's not here or Newgrounds, I act more mature in, so there isn't really anything to hide.
