		<description><![CDATA[I let anyone be my fb friend except creepy guys who write me weird messages with their friend invite that is generally offensive.  I.E. &quot;damn, girl you fine as hell, if you wanna be my friend, I&#039;ll be good to you.&quot;  I&#039;m not even kidding, I get those once a month.  Usually by 14-17 yr. African American teen-aged boys.  I just can&#039;t shake &#039;em.  I have no problem un-inviting creepy men who also send me private messages as well.  Crazies.

Other than that, I friend everybody &amp; as soon as they write a status update that I don&#039;t like (or bores me) or too often I use the &quot;hide&quot; feature.  Though I have over 1,100 fb friends, I have all but my fave 50-70 friends hidden so I never have to interact with their content at all unless I search them out.

It&#039;s funny that you mentioned that article b/c I was really offended by her.  (I think you can find it by asking Al Hsu, their actual friends).  She writes this article about how Jesus would be a better facebook friend then her right?  Okay, so then I go on facebook and invite her to be friend, telling her we had a mutual friend in Al Hsu &amp; that I wanted to meet with her or learn from her how to market myself as a Christian writer for online publishing or what-not.  And what does she do?  She writes back that she will not be my facebook friend b/c she&#039;s never met me.

She was absolutely right, Jesus WOULD BE a better facebook friend than her.  I&#039;m still salty about it.  Why write a vulnerable article and then not do anything about it.  Made me rethink about whether or not I actually wanted to take advice from her in the first place.  (Of course, I could be more snippy about today due to raging preggo hormones, but it did genuinely make my mad).  I just can&#039;t see Jesus being like &quot;yeah, sorry you don&#039;t fit my &#039;requirements.&#039;&quot;]]></description>
