Soo....I had deactivated my Facebook earlier this year. It wasn't an attempt to be counter-mainstream culture. I was just feeling asocial and chose to be a female male-genital about it. It was basically the only method my friends abroad could reach me, and I decided I couldn't handle that long-distance communication and disappeared. Only one person has managed to reach me via text - Scorpio male that's the closest thing I have to a bestie or even friend.

Anyway, I'm not going to lie; I would occasionally sign back in to check up on things before deactivating all over again and deleting FB's 'welcome back' e-mail. This occurred multiple times throughout the year.

I recently created a separate FB account because a lot of school activities have FB pages, so I thought to make one just to connect for college. *ahem* I, of course, can't resist using it to check up on things now and again with the convenience of not having to deal with deactivating every time I log on since the FB is under an alias as opposed to my real name (unlike my original FB.)

Anyway, this morning I received one of FB's "helpful" (read: nosy arse) e-mails. It basically called me out asking (in the title of the e-mail no less): "Do you know [insert my Virgo-ex's-name-that-I-may-or-may-not-have-been-looking-up and insert one of my Virgo-ex's-sister's-name-that-I-may-or-may-not-have-looked-up hoping to see pics of my Virgo ex.]"

...Yeah. So, basically, I now feel I can't use this account anymore because FB is calling me a creepy stalker and is basically telling me to "friend" my ex and stop being a word-for-female-dog-that-also-means-coward-but-is-censored-to-be-a-semesame-street-character. And by the way, FB, instead of calling people out, how about you study English grammar? "Friend" is not a verb, okay!? "Befriend," is! Get it right!

This is why I have trust issues. A woman can't...research in peace without being judged.

Don't connect your phone to fb if you can help it.
Also, depending on how much you creep a certain person or how much they creep you, you both have a chance of appearing in either of your contacts' "people tou may know". And so on and so forth.

That way I had a friend who creeped on their ex, and they showed me a pic of them (a saved pic, bot a link to profile). Several days later that lerson is #1 in my suggested friends.
