Ooooo-kay. I'm officially freaked out.(FB friends...check this out)
If you're on FB you know that there's been a thing for today that ppl are posting on their individual status saying something like "_____ _____ is a straight ally/is bisexual/is gay/is lesbian and today is National Coming Out Day. Donate your status and join me in coming out for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equality by clicking here:_____".

Well, I'd been seeing it all last night and early this morning, but I was working on something and didn't get around to posting that on my status. I went to take a nap at 12:30pm or so this afternoon, and just got up about 45 min ago. (all times EST)

If you go look on my FB wall, there's a status update from me five hours ago with the above as my status.
I was most definitely asleep when it was posted.

Now, I meant to post it, but I am absolutely sure that I did not get around to actually posting it. Much to my shame, but there it is.

Um. Yeah. Wow. Freaky.

NOTHING else was wrong with my computer, nothing else posted; etc.

?Anyone?

1. Did you post it before today at all?
There's an option to have it automatically post on the day before/day of the event. If you posted it even a week ago, and chose that option, it would automatically come up on your chosen dates.

4. First let me post--Yay for LGBT rights and being part of the supportive
community. But secondly--shit like this (ie; seeing stuff you distinctly did not post in your page pop up on your page without your actual consent) is part of why I will never use FB for any reason.

5. Cats


Whenever weird stuff happens on my computer while I'm asleep, I blame the cats. Even as I type, a cat is looking up at me like, "What?"

if you don't have cats, maybe a cat ghost?

or the Little People...harder to herd than cats!

or nefariously, someone has hacked your account?


I'd still go with the cats....

6. I've had similar computer "issues" this week....
...not Facebook, but....like, I'll be thinking of a song/book/etc. I'd like to buy, and the next time I pull up iTunes/Amazon/Google, said item is suddenly listed in the "things you might like to try" category. That sounds a little less freaky in print than the actual experiences have been, and it's happened three or four times this week.

8. Server issues
I tried to "donate" my status a couple of times, but it never worked. By that, I mean that I clicked the "post" button, but it didn't go through. I assumed the FB application was getting slammed with all the Coming Out Day activity.

11. +1...that happened to me, too...
Plus, I've been having connectivity issues in general, so I didn't pursue the status thing after I walked away from the computer for the night.

:eyes:

13. Quite possible..
but I figured if it was a glitch there would be more than one post out of whack; so to speak. I dunno.
