So I finally started to play around with Facebook and installed this application called X Me. With this application you can do whatever to your Facebook friends — you can hug them, bite them, spank them, give them beer, etc. Let me start by saying that some of my Facebook friends are people who I haven’t even ever spoken to (like that guy Dan in IT). So I installed X Me, and decided as a joke to spank my husband. I also decide to wave to my brother-in-law’s girlfriend, and to give a hug to my friend Libby in China.

To my horror, I logged in the next day and saw that I apparently spanked Dan, the guy in IT who I don’t even know, I bit Gabriela, my brother-in-law’s girlfriend’s brother’s girlfriend (who accidentally invited me to be a friend on Facebook — we’ve never met), and as a dressing decided also to hug Gabriela, who again, I don’t know, but who will surely run away from me should the occasion ever arrive to meet in person.

I was so careful to select the appropriate people (I actually triple-checked) so there is something wrong with this application! I’m sure of it! This is not for my generation.
