Japan Disaster, the shootings in Oslo Norway, shootings in Arizona, maybe not terrible in the long run but a lot of people died during the Middle Eastern uprisings.

It's always a helpful practice to add a brief message to the friend request reminding the person who you are. Like "Hey, I'm that guy from the concert with the really raw music!". I have six or seven friend requests pending that I'll likely never accept because for the life of me I cannot figure out who these people are!

Nintendo forgetting that they have a home console.
I bought Sin & Punishment that year, though. Enough awesome in there to overcome any Nintendo-related grief
I usually remember when I've friend requested someone. That's probably not a good thing. D:
A lot of the people I have on there never even talk to me. Am I that unlikeable?

I rarely get friend requests. When I do, they usually come from spambots.

I had enough funds in PSN for Journey. Weird. I have my playstation hooked up to a DC-ethernet network so it's fast enough to stream 1080p, but it makes the download speeds so awesome. 16% done.
40%
75% so good.

Shouldn't you toss them in the dryer, not the washer.

That only shows who I am subscribed too. Appearantly you have to have timeline to see who is subscribed to you?

You know what's really annoying? Making a small event on facebook (yumcha with 10 people) and people putting "not attending" without stating a reason. I know its being picky, but it just feels rude if they don't even write a quick "sorry, assignments/ prior engagement/ whatever" excuse. If its a big party or something, its still polite, but its okay not to. But 10 people? =/
Oh really? I swear I could see it back before timeline.

Well you might be right. But it says in the help file: Click on subcribers (timeline).. and I can't seem to find it :/
Well I bet I don't have any anyway haha. I'm the kinda guy that accepts almost any friends request

When I click there it talks about how I can enable subscriptions on my profile by clicking a button. So it's apparently not on by default for those who still don't use timeline.
I refrained from clicking it, because I suspect it would enable timeline, of which I am not the biggest fan.
Yay, sheets are dry, bed is made, sleep time soon!
You have to click subscribers. I know this is it because it shows people I've unfriended are still subscribed.

Ah now I see. It was turned off, so I didn't have any public subscribers.
I turned it on... let's see who will stalk me
I solved that issue by never registering with facebook. I've seriously never had a facebook account. It's funny when people ask me what my facebook account is and I tell them I haven't got one.
"You haven't got one? But everyone has a facebook account!". *gasp!* :O
People seem to think it is a compulsory thing. If you're on the internet you simply must have a facebook account.

It just makes you more accessible, which is what many people prefer. I mean I still know people without a cell phone (You don't have a cell phone?!?!) and I even know people that don't have computers...............I know right?!
It's a cultural thing, we live in the information age, where everything can be wiki'd and known, same goes with people. Our culture seems to believe if we want to know something about someone we should be able to just look them up over the internet.
Good point. In terms of accessibility though there are now 101 ways to be more accessible. With facebook however, I've never really saw the point in it. With some people their whole life is on facebook. I kind of like being able to do things without every single person knowing. If I had a facebook account it would be completely empty anyway because I have no interest in sharing my life in that way with the world.
Where I'm from, we call them peeping toms. You should call the police.

Or invite them in already.
I can't understand this.
Neither do I.... precisely why I had to share.

I promise this isn't me playing devil's advocate, it's just the way I look at things. I get a crapload of invites by lazy friends who haven't even bothered to eliminate the people on their lists who live out of state and could not possibly attend the big party they are throwing in three days, the gallery opening they are hosting, etc. They just want exposure so they "invite" everyone.
I just hit "not attending" any time I see something like that on my wall, usually without even checking the invite list...I figure if it's something I'm really interested in or if someone really wanted me there I would have received a more formal greeting, an e-mail or a phone call. Some people don't respond well to the mass invite thing and I am definitely such a person. Perhaps it's a generational proclivity, I dunno.
Personally I just don't think it's a good way to set up a small gathering, though, not so much an age thing. People like some assurance that their presence is genuinely wanted and that the host had them in mind when envisioning the event. The Facebook mass invite doesn't express this at all. I used to give each and every one a serious look...until I found myself constantly asking questions like - "this is four states away and it's in two days, why did I get invited to this?" or "this person knows I am disabled, why did they invite me to their bellydancing party?" and so on. People who misuse it make it useless for everyone.

This is one of my biggest gripes, too. I invite a lot of people to my excursions and parties, and it really kills the signal:noise ratio of the event wall. For every person who posts a cool idea to make the event more interesting, there are five "Sorry, going to a Firefly-themed burlesque show" posts. Then nobody gets to hear about the cool idea.
Event creator needs to be able to supress "not attending" messages entirely.

Too? She wants what you're complaining about; you want what she's complaining about.
You can't please everyone.
Your avatar really summarizes this nicely.

You know, I die a little every day that passes without you accepting my PSN friend invite.
Just fyi. As long as we're talking about such matters. Thought you'd WANT TO KNOW.
Plot twist: I accepted it last night right before playing Journey.

You know, you had issues with friend requesting with me via Steam too. I'm beginning to think the trouble isn't on our ends...
In other news:
Going by GAF policies, what would you feed this?

That was just a weird glitch. I've been watching the "Pending Response to Your Friend Request" message on my PS3 next to Hawkian's name for
like
months
