have the mind of state like i'm so great, can't nobody do it like you

okay, you know what facebook? you need to really calm down with the whole a-bazillion-people-joined-me-so-i-think-i-rule-the-world thing, okay?

i came to your defense when you went through more makeovers than any respectable website should have in the course of a year. when you tried to sell people's information, i joined you in blaming them. when you were the reason for broken relationships, unemployment, and expulsions, i didnt point any fingers at you. no, i went right along with you in saying that they really shouldnt be posting stuff they dont want the public to see. when you added so many applications it took an hour for a single page to load, or when you go through your multiple mood swings when i cant sign in, i took all that in stride. because i understood, facebook, that you cant be perfect.

but for the love of god and all things holy, you have taken things too far.

i've tried to ignore your pushiness. i really have. i've skimmed over the "suggestions" telling me to make facebook better for so-and-so and reconnect with whats-her-face. i looked the other way when you told me to find a profile picture for one person (though thats definitely not my job) and find friends for someone else (even though that borders on unprecedented levels of patheticness). i convinced myself that this was not you trying to be a control freak, but rather you trying to promote your mission of connectedness. and it didnt quite matter that it was not the way any mannered person would go about doing it.

but facebook, i cannot make excuses for you any longer. this is ridiculous. when you no longer just suggest people i should talk to and try and support your suggestions with percentages and bar charts, but actually try and tell me what to say, that is where i draw the line.

maybe i dont want to say hello to someone. maybe i've always been a hi kind of person. and perhaps i have a reason for not asking someone else how theyre doing. did you ever think of that? maybe i already know because i dont rely on you completely to talk to people. or maybe i dont really care how theyre doing at all.

so facebook, you really need to back off. this popularity thing has gotten to your head, and i must say it is not very attractive.
