This Facebook status update from one of my old junior high school friends captures a major part of the craze for Twitter posts and Facebook status updates:
"twitter is the new karaoke, in love with the sound of one's own voice. excuse me while I fascinate myself."
And this, from a college classmate, has to be one of the most unintentionally hilarious updates I've seen so far:
"X.Y. is going to her monthly 'eyelash extention' appointment, then to her pelvis excercise class tonight followed by a light dinner at home."
Think of all the things we're learning about people that we otherwise would probably never know.
See what you're missing, Fugu. You obviously need to sign up now.

I've been running an account using your real name, Fugu, and I've reconnected with a lot of your old friends and classmates. I've even made you some new friends and potential business contacts! Just say the word and the password is yours for fifty dollars.
Odori, if you update friends about your eyelash extensions and pelvic exercises, I will join your facebook.
(Btw, how could that be unintentionally hilarious?)
I've been considering de-facebook-atizing myself lately, but now my faith is renewed.
Oops. I meant "unintentionally one of the most hilarious updates" instead of "most unintentionally hilarious."
Regardless, it was definitely unintentional. The woman who posted this had a brief modeling career in Japan. She a diva of the kawaii variety, if you can imagine what that's like. (Yes, be afraid.) I can totally see her getting eyelash extensions... (though I personally imagine they would be very heavy and uncomfortable.) I really don't want to know what her pelvis exercises are for!
I don't generally post status updates because most things in my life are too boring to tell everyone about. Or my thoughts might betray what I'm really thinking about some of issues I write about for work. (i.e. lieutenant governors should know by now that attacking popular culture will backfire!!! C'mon!) I also don't have the patience or talent to invent witty comments that will entertain all my friends.
But I do enjoy reading what everyone else writes!
Actually, Fugu: Mr. Pony made a good point. I'm already friends with you because I've befriended the persona Pony has created for you. Don't worry about not being aware of what you're posting and who you're socalizing with on Facebook. Mr. Pony is doing an excellent job representing you.
I think I got your meaning the first time but I couldn't wrap my brain around who'd write that seriously... until the whole kawaii/diva thing.
I think some screenshots are in order to see why exactly we should be afraid of this, Odori! >_>
And I'm sure the persona Pony created for me is much more interesting than what I'd do.
Next time we are at a computer with an Internet connection, I will show you.... The photos are excellent at illustrating kawaii diva.
Computer? With an internet connection? You make such hollow threats, Odori.
I'm in Hawaii, so I live in a grass shack. Still waiting for electricity to arrive here.
Actually... the only photographic evidence I know of is on Facebook, not on publicly curated Internets. So I will have to personally show them to Fugu.
I have made first contact with the Kawaii Diva using my fake Fugu account. I do believe she is charmed by my Fugu impression, and we have begun a dialogue. I believe the gushing intro from Odori also played a large part in the Kawaii Diva bringing me into her confidence. We are becoming fast friends, and she has asked for more pictures of Fugu, beyond the initial large batch. I may have to break off contact, however. The pelvic exercises are NOT for what you'd think.
Galspanic: I don't understand it when people threaten to "quit" Facebook and other networking sites. Couldn't you just stop paying attention to it for a while? Or is there a perception held over from WoW or something that I'm not getting? OR is it that you'd rather your profile not be out there?
hahahhahahahahhahahahahahhahaha
i'm so happy facebook fugu and kawaii diva are getting along. i hope they are able to overcome their pelvic exercise differences, whatever those may be!!
Btw, I am very relieved Galspanic has been convinced to stay on Facebook.
I think I am okay with this.
