Facebook, a place to socialize with goats

Facebook used to be a social network for people to interact with each other, but not so much anymore. I think it should be relabeled "gamebook", the place to interact with your crops, and ask your friends for bonuses. It's a very quiet place where nothing happens until someone send you a request to help them sink deeper in their virtual world.  
There is absolutely no escape. Try chatting with your friends, and this is what you will get: "idle", which equals to "don't bother me I am playing". If you're lucky enough, they will say hi, then they will ask you if you have any extra bricks to help them finish their chicken coop. Forget about anything else, because nothing else matters.



Don't get me wrong, I still hear a lot from my friends though. I know how their cows are doing, and how many horseshoes they need to complete their expansion. I even use it as a conversation starter when I have nothing to say, it always works! I even joined the bandwagon, because like they say, can't beat them, join them.  


And joining, I did. I am now as anti-social as the rest of them, and when I go meet with friends in the real world, I bring my laptop so we can all play in the same living room, and exchange ideas on the best way to milk cows. Life doesn't get better than that, I am one with my *bip-up universe.

*bip, also refers as "fucked"
