So a few months back a friend gets a friend request on Facebook. He accepts it, thinking it was a person he met at a party. It turns out to be a random person that his sister went to school with, who for the sake of discussion we will dub Carla. Carla is in her early twenties and lives in the western suburbs of Melbourne. She is married with one child and her hobbies include bingo and sleeping. But her main time-waste is posting inane status updates on her Facebook wall like the one displayed above. Carla does this every single day; posting updates filled with text speak, run-on sentences, and a lack of punctuation. For months my friend and I have pointed and mocked these updates, bringing up her favourite spellings (fings! dun!) and counting the number of naps she has.
I think it’s time to share this with the world. I’m going to be posting some of my favourite updates over the next few months, or at least until the well dries up. Welcome to the world of Carla’s inane Facebook updates.
