and you are?

lately, i've noticed that some people have like 4,000 friends on facebook.
and like, who are you kidding man; which person would know all 4,000?
perhaps you'd only keep in touch with like 10% of the total, kinda' know another 40%, and then the rest would be acquaintances or people you added randomly in the past when you used to play stupid facebook games *looks behind*

it's amusing really, how i log into facebook daily and look at the birthdays bar.
there are 4 options available:
1) i know the person well... i send a very warmhearted birthday wish.
2) i know the person, or kinda' know the person, or used to know the person but we lost touch... i send a general template kinda' wish (but still sincere).
3) i don't really know the person, we hardly talk, or we didn't even really use to talk much... i don't wish.
4) i don't recognize a shit, click on mutual friends, see a number close to null... and i unfriend.

it's a really good way of clearing your facebook friends and keeping the friendlist neat and tidy, not clattered with all sorts of random strangers.
this way, you know your status updates won't be going out to unnecessary people you don't want knowing about your life.

oh and as you guys know, i have this thing for general neatness and tidiness?
like keeping my toiletries in rows, neatly in a particular order...
my laptop = parallel to the table edge, no discrepancies in the degrees...
also, nice round numbers of 10 posts a month etc etc...

so...
i just checked.
and i have 1079 friends on facebook...
