Well, it seems as if me and my crew just keep getting posts rejected. Either we're really bad authors or just really clique-ish. Dang...anyway, Murtagh963 wrote a post that got rejected because it doesn't apply to everyone. So I'm publishing it here. :D *feels like a rebel*
Blogging Facebook
Facebook. The only website that makes you procrastinate more than Sparknotes (but Sparknotes is a study site, so it's okay to procrastinate here :D). I recently got a Facebook (like, finally!) and I don't understand it at all. Frankly, a lot about it is annoying. This is my thought process as I check my wall, posts, friends status updates, pokes, group invitations, and game invitations:
2:30: Beginning of my free time on the computer (the one where I'm supposed to be goofing off, not the one where I goof off while I'm supposed to be studying). I log into my email, where I am assaulted by 43 or more Facebook notifications. Anyone know how to turn that off?
2:31: Delete all emails from Facebook.
2:32: Log into Facebook. 3 people have sent me flairs, including one that says "There is no 'I' in 'Team', there is a 'u' in 'stupid', and there is a 'me' in 'awesome'". Ponder whether they mean that I'm stupid or if they just thought that was funny.
2:33: Ask the Person A on their wall if they think I'm stupid.
2:34 Decide that Person A thinks I'm stupid, and poke them. Laugh at the message "You are about to poke Person A. They will be notified on their home page."
2:34:30: Take deep satisfaction in the poke. >:)
2:35: Browse through my new feed, like new groups, add friends (even people I hate), and add Flair to my collection (I have an unhealthy obsession with Flair).
2:43: See that Person A has poked me back. Poke them again
2:44: Ask another friend to poke Person A. Person B gladly pokes her.
2:45: I see that Person A has posted on my wall that they think I am stupid.
2:46: Attempt to poke them again, and see that they haven't poked me yet, so I can't. Frown.
2:47: See the ads in the side-thing. Get annoyed. What if I don't want to "Become a Warrior?" You should at least be asking me nicely, not ordering me to play your stupid game.
2:47:50: Notice game invitation to Treasure Isle. Wonder if it's as bad as Farmville.
2:55: Yup. It's almost worse than Farmville. It keeps wanting me to share treasure with my friends. And fruit. What if I'm allergic to fruit? What if I can't come within 10 feet of bananas? (I can't) And why do they have a little animated dude standing under my Treasure Isle notifications that looks nothing like my animated dude?
2:57: Person A has teamed up with Person C. They are poking me and Person B. We fight back.
3:05: I get a FB chat-thing from Person C, saying that we shall poke each other to death. A poking war on the chat-thing ensues (much like Sparknotes Tackle-Hugs, except with pokes).
3:07: Person D joins my side in the poking war
3:08: I leave Person B to hold down the fort while I take a quiz someone sent me. These things are so inaccurate, it's not even funny. And it chose a random person and asked if I wanted to kiss her. It's Person A. And uh, thats my sister...
3:10: Poking war ends. We won. Person D shares some of her stuff from Farmville with us. I graciously accept.
3:15: I recieve a Flair from Person A that says "I hate your guts". Thanks, sissy.
3:17: I comment on the flair like "Why do they say "I hate your guts?" i mean, what can you possibly have against someone's guts? other than gastric problems? People say it means that they hate you from the inside out. If it really means that, they could at least say "they hate my bone marrow" cus thats more inside than guts. Just sayin'..."
3:20: Person A sends me another flair. "You're a dork, but you're my dork, so it's okay". I get this one a lot.
3:21: Log off of Facebook, log into Sparknotes, where things make sense (mostly)

I haven't sent anything in recently, but I actually enjoy sparknote rejection letters. They're encouraging and proves that someone read your article. :)
UNLIKE COLLEGE REJECTIONS. They probably just have a bonfire and roast marshmellows with your application and just sent out generic rejections to everyone. -
