Bookface

So, I'm going to check out a few friends' profiles. But these aren't just three friends I hang out with everyday. Each of these friends is on a different rung of my relationship ladder.

The first is a friend that I met through sister. The friend is six years older than me, and has very different tastes. I see that most of her status updates are actually horoscope updates, and that makes sense because I know this girl is mildly superstitious. When I look through her pictures, I only see two or three out of fifty six that have her son in it. But I know that she's very devoted to being a mother, so I expect to see more pictures of her son. I guess that's just one of those things you get from Facebook, expecting moms to have their kids all over their profiles. I also notice a lot of this girl's pictures have uploaded multiple times, which is funny because I know how technologically challenged she is.

The next friend is one that I met online, through a video game. I've only met her once in person, but I've known her very well for over two years. Her status updates are far apart because she's not a huge Facebook fan, but she has a Facebook because she likes to stay in touch with her friends. Thankfully, I see she only has 236 friends, which is a huge relief compared to so many other profiles with friend counts in the thousands. She doesn't take many quizzes, but the ones she does take usually have science-fictional or mythological themes. And that makes sense because I know she's into folklore and science-fiction. I also know how much of an outgoing and friendly person she is, so it's no wonder that she's alone in only a handful of her pictures.

The final friend is one I've known for years and years. I went to middle school and high school with this guy, and we still hang out all the time. His Wall is cluttered with Happy Birthday's right now, because he just turned 21 two weeks ago. He's also a very outgoing person, and just like the last friend's pictures, there are only a handful that show this friend by himself. The big difference here is that this friend is usually at least slightly intoxicated in his pictures. He's also a fan of a lot of things like "Beer Pong!" and various hookah bars around Denver. So someone could see him being sort of proud of his alcoholic escapades.
