Facebook gives me a complex
Like many others, I am addicted to the “Compare People” app on Facebook (though I hate the stupid online dating aspect they’ve added to it—if you see an option who is clearly not one of your friends, don’t click him/her; it’s a trap).
However, I seem only to excel in the nerdy categories. I am currently #1 for “More trustworthy,” “Studies harder,” and “Would make a better mother” (aww, I like that one). Still, it’s the ones where I rank low that concern me. My very lowest one is “Happier person.” Do I come off as unhappy? I’m pretty happy. What gives?
I’m also suspiciously low in “Smells better.” Maybe I stink and that makes people think I’m unhappy. What, you’ve never heard the expression “Happier than a pig in excrement of its own emission”?
Is this why my rankings keep sinking? 😉
Mine says I’m not funny or entertaining. haha! But it also says I’m confident, so I guess I don’t have to worry about what other people say about my entertainment value.
So, isn’t the source of the excrement unimportant in the pig expression? I’ve always heard it as, “Happier than a pig in excrement.” Which would be quite fitting given your current situation.
Agreed. I don’t think said pig cares from whence the excrement emanated.
Sorry for the double, but it looks like — as of this morning — I’m #2 nicest smelling but #5 smartest. And my low punctuality score is TOTALLY Leah’s fault.
Har, har! That very facebook function is why I actually hated you a little bit, for just a few days. You are ranked higher than I am in the “would make a better mother” category. I’ve made my peace with that now. Just remember my mantra: “for entertainment purposes only… for entertainment purposes only…”
Aprille – you’ll be happy to note I was on Joel’s website and he had a function for people to rate his female Facebook friends in terms of hotness. I noticed you were in the top three, so perhaps that may make you feel better. Anyway – congrats – I think!
