'I Have Something Misguided And Angry To Say About This Current Argument'
This is supposed to be a "real Facebook argument," but also I found this on Brooklynian...and it kinda fits better there.

Meredith, this one's for you. I just know this had to be on the F.

I don’t know if the “treat ‘em mean, keep ‘em keen” approach is genetically encoded into male DNA or what, but watching the mating rituals of 6th graders has truly been a revelation.
Since around 3rd grade, the girls have been circling ever closer, ever more fervently. But lately they’ve begun to explode, one by one into a mass of body odor, hormones and passionate need (desperation?).
Although 6th graders are all over the growth chart, the girls are often so far ahead of the boys, it’s mind-boggling. Meanwhile, the hottie boys are all easy to spot as they seem to develop, through pure instinct, the powerful pull of indifference and disdain. Or possibly cluelessness...its still unclear.
My most favorite Facebook moment thus far, hands down, was the 25 random notes phenomenon. This went down waaaay before this fly-by-night Doppleganger b.s. Do you remember? For a few glorious weeks (circa 12 months ago), Facebook friends shared over 125 million random facts about their lives.
Stuff like:
2. When I am alone climbing stairs, I always count the stairs. I run up the stairs by twos.
Ohkay.
21. I have one tattoo...that I regret endlessly. I got it right after college in one of those "HEY WORLD...SEE THAT!? ERICA IS COOL AFTER ALL" moments. Newsflash = I'm not.
Yes people, this IS that Erica.
We all are on Facebook. It helps us waste time, keep in touch with people that we don't care about enough to actually call on the phone, and cyberstalk ex-lovers and ex-friends.
But I think my favorite part of Facebook is this recent viral phenomenon called "Doppelganger Week," where everyone is supposed to change their profile picture to a celebrity that they supposedly look like.
Who knew I had so many dillusional friends and associates? Be honest with yourself—you don't look like Jennifer Connelly or Kate Winslet. Not even close.
In the interest of keeping it real, I propose a REAL FIPS Doppelganger Week right here. Tell me who you actually resemble. I want to see some honesty here: Roseanne Barr, Mo'Nique, Steve Buscemi, whatever.
I don't really know what celebrity I look like, but because I have a large, round head (thats where I store all of my genius ideas, obvi), I'll go with Charlie Brown or a Cabagge Patch Kid doll.
