a thing about me and Facebook

merryishSometimes in my email box I get a notice that someone has friended me on Facebook, or that someone wants me to... do something? join something? see something? something with farm animals? I don't even know? on Facebook.
I have no idea what to do about any of that, just so you know! And I have very little interest in learning. Facebook irritates the hell out of me. The interface is bizarre. The like/don't like thing seems facile and pointless to me. I only use it to stay in touch with people from places I used to work. I tried for a while to use it regularly but I fail, fail, fail. I just dun liek it.
So if you add me on Facebook, I will probably eventually get around to adding you back, but then I will just sit there like a lump. I don't read it, don't say anything in it, don't do anything with it.
I'm sorry! I have no idea how fandom found me there, and I don't mind that it did; it just makes me feel like my friends there have Expectations of Interactivity with me on Facebook that will never be fulfilled. And I have guilt about that. So I thought I should warn you that there will be none.
Two journals, email, ichat and irc are as much interactivity as my brain can handle, I guess.
