So I have begun what might be called a social experiment. It all started for the sake of personal amusement but seems like there might be a good story in it. I was reluctant to get a facebook account to begin with, weather it was the fact that i hated trends or just my desire to not be like every other asshole, whatever it was didnt last long. I swallowed my pride and signed up. Several years later I am up to around 50 friends, all of them being people I have actually interacted with, people i know personaly. Never was I the type to connect with strangers who have have not and may not ever meet.
Fuck it.
One drunken night i decided what I would do is i would pretend i was one of those deaf-mutes. No.. Back to the point.. Why not add everyone? So many of my friends shamelessly invite people they have no connection with to skim through theyre personal information, history, family and all this without a second thought.
Being single, drunk and very bored, I sent a 'friend request' to this cute girl that 'I may know', Why not? She accepts.. never met her, no connections.. Accepted friend request.. Thought to myself then, how many of the mult-million users of facebook would add someone as a friend without even a second thought?
Turns out quite alot, she was #50 of my facebook friends, the only one i never had talked to. Why not 100? 2000? 10k?!? Fuck it, lets see what happens.. So thats what i did, just clicking away on the 'people you may know' Request button, Scrolling down the page untill the spam blocker caught up with me and threatened to block off my whole account. Time for a break i thought..
Made a sandwitch and checked out the immigration horror show that is happening in california, maybe an hour passed by? Curious I was and couldnt help but run back to my computer like a 12 year old who just discovered free pornography. 76 friends.. 26 friends in barely more then an hour.. Half the friends that i had accumulated in the 3-4 years of casual Facebook use..
Oh my..
What am I to do? Keep going.. Lets see what happens.
Can one really have 10,000 friends? Without doing any more then clicking the mouse?
Lets see what happens.
Fuck it.
