It's weird sometimes. I have been getting this influx of people that I do not remotely know adding me as their friend. Who are these people?
Is Facebook Self-Aware?

^I amend my post. It thinks I am a horny lesbian. Which sounds fun, but isn't true.^ I think it just confused. It thinks I am straight.
perhaps more true than you think, if it sounds fun
Hmmm... I don't know.
I wonder who it could be.And speaking of that, I get a lot of friend requests from people here. Sometimes it takes me a few days to figure out who they are though. And T'bonz shows up regularly on my "Suggestions"... at least I think it is her. She probably sees me on hers and hasn't a clue who I really am either. (Either that she does and is avoiding me, which is fine because I know I am a perky pain in the ass.
)
There is an interesting book about the principles behind the kind of emergent software that allows facebook to know that I am a Slowdive fan who wants laser underarm and leg hair removal, which explains how this is done, and extrapolates the principles to biology and city development -- it's called Emergence, for obvious reasons. The author didn't very skillfully bring together the different aspects of his argument, and his thesis isn't entirely sound, but still a very interesting read.
I'm thinking it must be some sort of people trying to scam me or something with pictures of (mostly) pretty women. I mean seriously in the past 4 days I've gotten 6 requests from women who I don't have a clue who they are. No mutual friends or anything. Mostly in my home town, but one in Columbia (second one from Columbia that I've gotten recently...), one in Korea (though I have a friend stationed over there, so maybe some relation to him)... It's just getting annoying.
And I am still weirded out that Facebook has reunited me with six... yes I said six... ex-boyfriends. It is kind of creepy to be talking about dating someone and have one of them chime in.
It tried to suggest that I friend my ex-husband. I clicked "ignore" so quickly that Facebook's head is still spinning. (Which might explain the error messages when you try to post a comment... sorry about that. But after suggesting my ex as a friend, it had it coming.
)Facebook insists that I'm into single white girls, single catholic girls, and attractive latinas.

It's eerie in its accuracy.
