Facebook/Myspace, feelings towards having online friends added

[Teuthida]

I'm a misanthropic hermit so I just use Facebook to spy on the very few friends I have on there every so often. I'd probably be more keen to add you folks than those who usually contact me from my past which I delete shortly after befriending. Usually friend whores. The +1 icon for befriending someone makes it feel like a video game where you acquired a new pokemon or something for your collection. Bothers me.

Sleeping in the same room without being molested is a good gauge for friendship I would have to agree. Hmm, 75% of my friends on my facebook account pass that test. Er, the other 25% I just haven't slept in the same room with...not molested by.
