Things about you that you should not share with people on the internets.

This is a list of things that no one should be saying on the internet. I'm sure you're expecting a list of the obvious things like 'Don't post your cell phone number or address' and 'Do not post any revealing pictures of yourself' but I actually encourage those things. Okay, well, not your address, but if I want your number it's easier to get it off your Facebook page, text you, and tell you that you gave it to me 'that one time...' than to actually ask you for it myself. And I can't imagine a better way to get to know someone than to see them in a picture wearing an unflatterring ensamble made of minimal cloth. No, this is a list of the embarrassing things that, if found in an 'About Me' section of any sort of social networking website, would make me not care to get to know you.

'I'm a very interesting person' First of all, if you ARE interesting, way to be a total dick about it. But, secondly, chances are that if you have to tell people that you're interesting, you're probably the only one who thinks that. This no-no is one that I have quite a personal experience with. I dated someone whose first line of the 'About Me' section on this person's Facebook page was 'I am a very interesting person.' I cannot say that that is a lie, though. I am still quite intrigued with how much of a lying, backstabbing bitch this 'very interesting' catch turned out to be.

'I love my friends' What kind of asshole halftard doesn't love his friends? I guess it's good to know that you don't hate your friends... I mean, I would like to know before befriending you if there are terrible perks to a friendship with you so I guess it's not completely ridiculous for you to verify that you are normal by telling me you love your friends... but really, I think it can just go without saying. Along those same lines- 'I can't live without music.' Yes, yes you can live without music. I play cello untill my fingers bleed. I love music but a break from the blood and blisters would be loverly.

(under 'Activities') 'Going to movies' Same principle as the loving your friends thing... who doesn't enjoy movies? Even people with no friends love movies.
