The Comfy Corner

Facebook. Is it really changing our lives? You can say that we don't know how to communicate anymore. You can say that friendships don't mean as much anymore. You can even say that Facebook is making us badder at grammer. But I say that I've been changed for the better. Because I knew you, Facebook, I have been changed for good. I met a French guy at a party once who called Facebook "Book Face." Chris found this hilarious and he wanted to make a note of it in his BlackBerry but, in his drunken stupor, put it in as "Booj Face." That story is just the first example of many in which our lives have been changed by the "Booj Face."

1) We use the term stalker in our everyday speech, a term that used to hold so much dark, heavy connotations has now turned into "Hey, I heard you went shopping yesterday!" "OMG! Stalker!"

2) We no longer care whether or not pictures are on our camera as long as they are on somebody's camera because we know it'll be on Facebook by the end of the day. "Hey lemme borrow your camera for a sec." As if you actually wanted make out pictures of Bill and Sarah on your camera.

3) The word "tag" is probably used 1,000,000 more times a day than it was before Facebook. Before, it was only used on the school play ground and at yard sales. Now it's used in the bar, at parties, practically EVERYWHERE! "Lol, do NOT tag me in that. I will absolutely kill you."

4) One of the best parts of having a birthday is getting a million messages on your profile. It's like you are Facebook queen or king for the day "78 Notifications" :)

5) The word poke now has weird connotations. People now say things like "I'd totally tap that. haha. jk jk. I wouldn't even poke it on Facebook."
