the greatest joy of facebook ...

is that you can capitalize on the beauty of friends and inside jokes.

because you can write such phrases as:
"do you need more mexicans?"
"where is my invisible jet?"
"rewind-rewind!"
"you can never make me another martini again!"
or
"cack"
and your friends get you - you don't have to explain...mostly.

there is something so comforting about being understood or at least laughed at :)
(and therapeutic at laughing at each other even over long distances, the world is no longer such a big place)

i am convinced that people would need far less therapy and medication if they could laugh with friends more and learn to laugh at themselves. because we all do zany, wild, and let's face it, stupid things and if you can laugh it off with friends then you know that you have achieved success.

so for all of the evils of facebook, like:
"i just got de-friended :("
"couldn't you have told me in person we weren't dating anymore!"
bejewelled blitz - because who isn't addicted to that f*cking game!! Ahhh!
farmville - enough said

there is a sense of community with it that is un-paralleled, because you and 820 of your closest friends can all enjoy the fact that you were a 'rock-star' last night and posted all the pictures! (untag...untag...untag...haha)

you are definitely going to want an 'undo' button on that one :)
