Hey everyone! I have a quick issue that I need to talk about please.
It's called Facebook.
I love Facebook, used to love MySpace, now it's Facebook. Next year it will probably be something else, but right now it's Facebook.
Ok, so, here's the dealio.
I really don't like to accept friend requests from every Tom, Dick and Harry. In fact, I only have a few friends on Facebook that I do not actually know in "real life" and those girls are my friends I've made through blogland. So, technically they are not real life friends, but they are indeed real friends. But, I digress.
OK, there was a friend request the other day that I honestly from the bottom of my soul do not know who they are. No clue, not even a little bit. I saw the friend request and decided to think about it and maybe I would remember who they were later. You girls know that I've been busy and had freaking cramps this week and it's just been crazy, so I haven't done a whole lot of facebooking.
Yesterday I got a message from this person saying that "just in case I don't remember them, that we went to high school together and they always wanted to be my friend." I'm like, that's pretty sweet, but I was kinda creeped out by it at the same time.
My facebook emails come through yahoo so I don't necessarily have to be on facebook to check my mail. I read her e-mail and thought ok, I guess I'll accept her friend request next time I'm on facebook. I really was going to accept it. I got on facebook a few times yesterday very briefly to talk to a couple of people and even sent a friend request of my own. Thanks for accepting, Carrie. :)But, for whatever reason I forgot to accept that dang request again.
Today, I received yet another email from this eager beaver wondering why I hadn't accepted her as a friend and wondering if and I quote, "Do you think you're too cool for school?" Um. No, I don't think "I'm too cool for school." Whatever that means.
What now? Do I accept this person as a friend so that they don't think I'm a snob?
I seriously don't know this person or remember them AT ALL. She went on to say in the last email that she hopes I accept her soon. I feel like she's all stalky stalkerson all of the sudden. Am I being stupid?
Just so you know, if I sent a friend request to someone and they didn't accept it, I wouldn't give a crap.

No, don't accept it! It sounds like she just wants to be nosy and see what you're up to or something. If she's behaving that way then you definitely don't need that!!!
I say "DENIED!!!!" ;)
I agree with Jill, I found myself accepting friends that i wasn't sure who they were just because I was curious to find out. We all know that you aren't a snob!
By the way I made something for you today, it's not much, but it was made especially with you in mind!

Wow, that's tacky. I think you should definitely not accept her request, especially now.
You shouldn't feel pressured into being someone's virtual friend just because they can't handle rejection. I agree with Jill and Meg, facebook is much more fun when the only people you have as friends are those people who are actually your friend!
no way! She sounds creepy lol. Plus when you add her she will probably be super nosy and irritating, no fun in that! I can't believe she emailed you, that is so rude.
Ewww!!! No! Don't accept this person if you don't remember them. The mere fact that she is harassing you to accept her is very creepy behavior and I wouldn't want that type of person in my private business. And "too cool for school"? What? Are you still 13?
I agree with Jill...I regret how many friends I have accepted over the years. If I went to school with them, I accepted their friend request, even if I don't *remember* them.
Tell the stalker to kick bricks.
First you are very welcome :D
Second she seems a little too eager for my blood I would deny.
good luck
Carrie
btw you are not a snob or b**** in my opinion :D
If I don't know you, I don't want you to be able to stalk me on Facebook. Why don't people get that???
Hmmm, I am going to be opposite of everyone else. I would say yes, accept her--if she proves to be creepy, then unfriend her.
wow I defintely give them a big push of the DENIED button!! that is too creepy for me.. I only accept people I know too!! keep all the crazies away :)
hehe
xoxo,
Lindsay
