I've been thinking about something a lot lately, and that is the power of the notification. More specifially, the Facebook notification; that little red box signifying you're popular. I'm pretty sure all Facebook users love getting notifications and you'd be lying if you say you don't. It means that someone (anyone!) found something of yours to be worth commenting on. Their comments will attract other people because more popular things come up in newsfeeds, and therefore, you'll gain importance...and so on.
That very process has crossed my mind before this post, and I highly doubt (see also: hope) I'm not alone...
I'm fairly certain Postman would find that thought to be 100% pathetic. I don't theoretically blame him; it is. The fact that we (I) base our (my) importance off of Facebook notifications is kind of bone-chillingly lame.
BRB--Gonna go watch that movie from Idiocracy, ASS, now. Or jump off a cliff...
