Boredom Buster

September 9th, 2007

I recently found myself with some time on my hands due to the lack of my husband. This was due to both business travel and the start of the college football season. To offset my boredom I decided to create a Facebook account. It turned out to be a rather interesting adventure.

I created my account, sent friend requests, and went to look at my profile.

Then before I knew it, I had lots of friends. I was happy. My fear of being a Facebook social outcast was unfounded. It was good. Until I was bitten by a zombie.

I’m not much of a flesh eater. I eat meat occasionally but I prefer a more vegetarian meal. It looked like good clean fun so I accepted. Little did I know, I would now be attacked while I slept peacefully. It’s OK. I enjoyed it.

The next day I decided to add a movie application. It seemed reasonably safe. I started rating movies then I mistakenly marked Balls of Fury as a movie I’d like to see. It’s embarrassing enough that people would think I’d like to see that. I didn’t realize until later that it put out an announcement on my feed saying “ImPerceptible want’s to see Balls of Fury. Anyone interested?” I guess it’s safe to say no one was. I didn’t get any offers. I blushed the most amazing shade of red when I saw that. So much for good clean fun.

I’ve been having fun looking through the applications and trying to get my movie quiz score higher than anyone else. I have a long way to go. I would like some more friends so I can turn them into zombies socially network. If you have an account, Can I be your friend? If you don’t have an account, make one! It’s lots of fun. I can make you my underling. We can see if our movie preferences are compatible.

    My wife became borderline obsessed with facebook. I however can’t get it at work where I do the vast majority of my surfing and so my account is neglected somewhat.

    I was still your first facebook friend though. i even beat Whit!!

    Whit, your zombie is a big bully!

    Thanks for getting that zombie jamboree song stuck in my head.

    Dan, you were my first and you’ll always be special to me. I hope that makes Whit jealous.

    [...] my lips were numb and I couldn’t protest properly, I was forced to watch Blades of Glory because I made fun of Balls of Fury. It was terrible. I may never get over the bathroom scene towards the end. I wasn’t in the mood [...]
