I need an intervention, but in the mean time, I look for reasons to loathe it, hoping it'll help me realize my problem and, therefore, do something about it.
The thing that set Facebook apart from MySpace a few years ago was that it had a standard page format that users could not alter. You couldn't put glittery unicorns or pictures of dudes with their junk in a Speedo saying "have a nice day" on your friends' profiles. It was a simple time.
Then Facebook opened membership beyond college students to anyone who wanted to sign up, which slowly led to its demise. Then came the applications. Oh, applications.
Facebook applications can be added to an individual's profile for entertainment or ease of use. Basically, they're awful. Plus, they usually require that you invite friends to join.
Facebook friends, I don't want to be a part of this. Here are the top 10 Facebook applications my friends shouldn't invite me to (if they know what's good for them.)
10. Pass a Drink.
Oh good. Thanks for this beer I can't drink that cost you nothing! What a pal.
9. Are YOU interested?
This is a good way to make things awkward among your friends. If someone clicks that they are "interested" in you, and then you click that you are "interested" in them the application lets you know. Because, you know, you couldn't just ask them …
8. SuperPoke.
Poking is the least useful tool on Facebook. SuperPoke allows you to take uselessness to the next level by picking the action you wish to do to your recipient. Want to throw a grenade at Rick? Me too.
7. When will you get married?
As if my parents aren't putting enough pressure on me.
6. Friends For Sale.
Have your friends buy you, and you can buy your friends! Basically, decide who you love more.
5. Compare HOTNESS.
After deciding which friends are worth more to you with Friends For Sale, decide which top earners you'd most like to sleep with.
4. Dr. Phil's Personality Test.
I know there is unlimited space on the internet, but somehow this is a waste.
3. Knighthood.
I'm not a ninja. I'm not in the mob. I'm not a knight. Stop sending me invites to these kinds of applications! They're nerdy and hurt my brain.
2. Do you think…?
No, not usually.
1. Honesty Box.
Now you can know every evil thing you never knew your friends thought of you.

Thank you for writing this. I gave up, and gave in to the requests, and started passing out drinks. I may have a virtual drinking problem, maybe that could get me out of these stupid applications without any hard feelings from friends. (Continued…)
