An Ode to Fallen Facebook Fads

The Wall that was more like a chalkboard : Back in the day , the Wall was pretty much the only way to publicly interact with your friends . However , this Wall did not bet by the rules of the modern Wall . This Wall was anon. and could be edited by any one of your protagonist . Anyone could straight up erase all of your fawning Wall Posts care , “ I lie with having Philosophy class with you 🙂 ( from Megan ) ” or “ Sooo intoxicated last Nox LOL – Sam P. ” because back then , no one read the Wall and these are the types of thing one would write .

Anyway , someone could rub out all of those messages and replace them with something like , “ You dirty slut . Your boyfriend deserves to know what kind of nasty bitch he ’s dating , die in a fire . ” Like , this could happen to your roomy , you jazz ? All of her hard - earned Wall Posts exchange with this one demoralizing , anonymous Wall Post . You might say , “ Dude . Your fucking wall!1!!11 ! ” and she ’ll cry , and you and the respite of your roommates will drop the day reconstruct her Wall Posts of yesteryear . It ’s as if Nothing . Ever . Happened .

Groups : Groups still exist , but with the advent of Fan Pages , they ’ve become a relic of the past ; something that anyone with Facebook savvy would get an invite to in 2011 and say , “ Oh , honey . Your stria has a Group ? … sign your soul . ” chemical group are different from Fan Pages though , in that they feel less committal . I have a friend , Toad , who graduated with six Groups named in his honor . I still belong to to two of them . I also belong to ‘ I Love Dolphins , ’ ‘ terminate Ignorance Against masher , ’ and ‘ The Ninja Turtles Could recoil the Shit Out of the Power Rangers . ’

Bumper Stickers : A course I remember fondly . At one point in college , I had five female roommates . The six of us would sit down in the same room in complete quiet and either waste hour battling on Scrabulous.com or sending each other Bumper Stickers . I only permitted Bumper Stickers from Someecards to rest on my page . If I invite anything like “ champion are the family God forget to give you LOL , ” I ’d delete it immediately , citing my stringently enforced Bumper Sticker standard . This stipulation leave in a ingathering of refined and relevant Bumper Stickers that accurately reflected my sensibilities .

SuperPoke : I had a group of friends that never return home during our break from college , opting instead to take summer class or work at internships . Perhaps we felt overwork for the first time in our lives , but the summer of 2007 was unofficially the summer of “ unlax ” via SuperPoke . We ’d “ take aphrodisiacal back ” from each other , pwn each other , and on juncture we ’d SuperPoke each other in such a style that one of us would actually have to Google what we ’d just done ( this is how I learned the meaning of ‘ defenestrate ’ ) .

endowment : endowment was introduced mighty around Valentine ’s daylight of 2007 and offered up a spare talent or two that you could give out to anyone . I encounter a Dick in a Box from my boyfriend at the time and a deep brown heart from the cat I suffer my virginity to . The dude I secretly loved sent his girlfriend a thong with the substance , “ You require to buy more of these . ” Haha . puritan gripe . Gifts rifle completely defunct by tardy 2010 , when Facebook see that no one on the cyberspace pay for anything .

liken People : Compare multitude was the perfect app for a 20 - year - old girl in that it allowed you to be a entire gripe and make snap legal opinion and no one would ever have to bed what a hater you are . “ Who is more attractive ? ” Compare People would ask , and you would choose someone marginally attractive over the undeniably pretty girl who detest you , because you ’d never let that bitch win anything .

The spoilt part of Compare People was run into your own stats at the end . A raft of people wanted to kiss me and kip with me , but I always lost in the wedding department and this somehow invalidated my being . Who was I up against that I ’d drop off the marriage vote three times ? I warrant this departure by reminding myself that I was a smoker , and that could be a deal breaker , you know ? Yeah . That must be it .

Friend Quiz : What seemed like a play , carefree bodily function to get to know your friends was really a hotbed for controversy should you invite an embarrassingly depleted grievance on your friend ’s self - made quiz . How do you NOT know how many sentence I ’ve separate my arm ? ! How could you say that ‘ Help me Rhonda ’ is my preferent Beach Boys song when it ’s clearly ‘ Kokomo ’ ? Why do n’t you know the name of my elemental schooltime ? And you ’d stammer and say , “ But … but we ’re 21 and I just meet you six months ago , ” and you ’d think to yourself , “ Do n’t insinuate that I ’m a spoilt friend , psycho , ” because you ’re not . You ’re not a bad friend , right ? Maybe sometimes you ’re a big friend , but only 40 % of the time . You ’re a upright acquaintance . Mostly .

Last Of Us 7 Recap 2

9 . The song “ Dear Prudence ” make me cogitate of this scenario : A girl leave a party after some sort of fight . She ’s walking home looking haggard , possibly call . Maybe there ’s some shoddy camerawork , and it ’s a small anti - climatical until 2 minute , 50 moment into the Song dynasty when she ’s attacked , tossed around by a couple of guys . At 3 moment , 39 seconds , she ’s put away . And it ’s always played in my school principal that way . One of my favorite Beatles songs .
