    Default Breaking News!

    BJ saw me log onto Facebook and ask me what was going on, so I began to describe the posts on my newsfeed. He quickly regretted his question.

    Sum up the most recent 16 items on your Facebook feed (that's how far I got before I lost interest), and the most recent five posts you made yourself. Compare for funsies.

    Feed:
    1. My great uncle is going to bed.
    2. An ex-co-worker got a new shirt.
    3. A current co-worker was displeased with this week's Community.
    4. Friend from high school cut open a watermelon. There's a photo.
    5. Another co-worker is at work.
    6. Yet another co-worker is at work.
    7. A friend shared a photo indicating she likes whales.
    8. Shiny is attractive.
    9. I don't know what "KEEP. THE JEEP. RIDING." means.
    10. Co-worker from #3 heard The Great Gatsby was good.
    11. Cid posted Ryan Gosling won't eat his cereal (best of) to his wife.
    12. Good god that's a lot of hashtags. Cannot decipher.
    13. Hello Kitty is out with a new strawberry collection.
    14. Co-worker from #6 has concerns about Princess Merida's 2D clip-art.
    15. Is that pancakes?
    16. sharky posted a flikr album of Styrofoam cups.

    And this is after I blocked approximately 1/3 of my friends list for posting too much inane crap.

    Me:
    1. Pregnancy summarized in gif form.
    2. Got a sign language attachment for my work name tag.
    3. I'm not sure what I'm doing but I wanted to be supportive.
    4. Old man I don't know played harmonica for my belly.
    5. Shared a photo from my works website because I am in it.

    Good god my aunt sends me a lot of stupid links.

    Wrong! I read, no post. Cause I don't have enough EoFF + FB friends to make a cool enough list. Cause you gotta have some EoFF love to make the list worth reading.

    Also.
