Much ado over Fishville, Farmville, or whatever-ville

Posted on 20 January 2010 by Gim

Every time I open my Facebook account, I never fail to see status updates like this:

What happens when you've got too much time on your hands

To put it simply, I just don’t get it. Why people are so engrossed over farms or fishes or cafes that don’t actually exist in the first place (unlike acne, which is an all too real fact. Better put some tretinoin cream on that) I really don’t know. Some people even go so far as to wake other people up in the middle of the night- in the freaking middle of the night,  just to get them to ‘feed’ their imaginary fishes or ‘water’ their make-believe farms. I mean, come on, they wouldn’t actually die. They’re NOT real to begin with!

I guess sometimes, somehow, that thin, thin line between fantasy and reality blurs in ridiculous ways.

    Hey ! I so agree about Facebook. But you know what I think a big part of the gibberish that appears on those pages is? I think people are lonely and it’s an attempt to in someone reach out and find friends and communicate and feel less alone in the world. Yes there are other things and more important things that could be said, and other ways to reach out, but I think this is part of what we are reading. I suppose someone could just write LIKE ME PLEASE !
