20 things we've learned from facebook.

1. the more walls you have, the more people you keep out.

2. the definition of friend now includes family members, celebrities, pets, anyone you've captured in the background of a photo taken during your last drunken episode, the kids you couldnt stand at school, the kids who couldnt stand you at school, anyone you have ever sent an email to, 4 people with the same name (because you didnt know which one was the one you really know when you searched). sometimes the definition may be expanded to include a portion of all aforementioned friends friends (formerly known as acquaintances). it does not, however, include your teacher or your boss.

3. myspace really DOES suck.

4. the world is full of vampires, zombies, sith lords, ninjas, pirates, hos and bros

5. you have to be friends with someone before you can have a relationship with them.

6. theres a very good chance that "met randomly" really means "hooked up" (it just wasnt sensational)

7. we are all voyeuristic. someone is stalking you now. yes, right now.

8. we finally really know what kind of lover, drink, sex position, superhero and vegetable we are

9. going for coffee has become an "event"

10. we are not alone. addicted to cheese? appreciate mullets? send drunken texts? a procrastinating perfectionist? a loner? want to see someone do something incredibly stupid or humiliating when they achieve their membership goal? join the group.

11. wall-to-wall is the new eavesdropping.

12. "skip this step" is there for a reason.

13. illitracy is a live and whell.

14. poking leads to kissing (remember when it was the other way around?).

15. guinea pigs, giraffes and garden gnomes are all hatched from eggs with a 4 day incubation period. the same length of time it takes to grow orchids, money and disco balls.

16. no matter how non judgmental we claim to be, we constantly compare our friends to one another.

17. cross border shopping really does save you money...you can buy your friends almost anything for $1 USD

18. we've all mastered the drunken arm-outstretched-down-angle snapshot in the same way those clowns mastered the volkswagon.

19. we all always "is" something.

20. nothing is sacred.
