too stupid for facebook

after what seems like months, and is quite probably years, of people telling me i should be on that facebook i've finally decided to dip a toe into the waters of the devilish media. not that i can actually use it. i had to go via other people's pages in order to find out what it was supposed to look like. even more stalkerish than google maps! i kind of thought there might be a search thing (and apparently there should be) but not on my page. i look at it blankly. i google stuff to tell me how to work it. they tell me i have menus that i do not have, basic commands to use that it seems are absent from my account. they should be there but they are not. aim the unusability of it all!

normally i'd be in a computer induced rage by now. and yet i am not. i know all the arguments for why i should 'engage' and even if i'm able to let go of my many reasons for not using it up to this point i'm still left with apple's kindly spellchecker insisting i should capitalise the f. for that reason alone i feel happy to admit that i, alone among my peers, am too thick for facebook. i shall try to bear up under the ignominy....
