fml. "Facebook is my oxygen"

Today as I was 'studying' I inevitably ended up on facebook and it occured to me that so, so many people, in fact everyone is using the term 'fml' these days. FML; or 'fuck my life' is everywhere. Why? The word 'fuck' can mean pretty much anything these days: eg

'that shit is fucked up' - that shit is bad/ruined in some way
'i fucked him/her' - i had sex with him/her
'fuck' - shit
'fucking awesome' - very awesome, amazing
'fuck this' - stuff this

So; I guess the term 'FML' is just a natural progression.

So many of my facebook friends have of course returned to university this week & thus FML featured in many status updates. I've recently worked out that facebook status updates are actually an attention seeker's dream and I'm one of these attention seekers. I keep typing stuff into the 'what's on your mind' box and then deleting it because I don't want my 200+ facebook friends to think I spend all day on facebook.
But, what the hell, who am I kidding? I do spend all day on facebook & so do plenty of other people I know. As a friend told me (read: facebook commented back to me) today "Facebook is my oxygen"

By updating my status, my 'friends' can comment on it and thus we can spend all afternoon spamming each other's 'walls' and generally having a jolly old time in the comfort of our fluffy pink dressing gowns, glasses, wet hair, ugg boots & cup of peppermint tea for company. Or, if we haven't got anything intelligent to say, we can instead 'like' said status; but we can't 'dislike' which is really quite dissappointing but I won't start that debate. My parents tend to worry that I spend way too much time on the computer but I assure them that I'm on facebook & therefore I am being social & therefore there is nothing to worry about. My mother now has her own facebook page & came into my room today with the news 'I saw the photos of last night Elizabeth, there's some nice ones of you'...'because I'm _____ friend too.

Last year my mother was excited to tell me that she'd received x amount of textmessages for her birthday and this year it was 'guess what, ____ sent me a birthday message on facebook! (exclamation mark her emphasis, not mine)Or, at dinner 'I've got 10 friends on facebook Elizabeth!' (Wow, Mum). Or 'I might delete ______, her updates are just about getting drunk and I don't wanna hear about that'. Facebook is taking over my life. To repeat the title of the last post 'I really need to get off the computer' because facebook is taking over my life. FML!
