But rather, the Swedish Yule goat that may have brought you Christmas gifts this year! You better not pout, you better not cry, you better not shout I’m tellin’ you why: the Swedish Yule goat is comin’ to town! But now he has burned down.

DEAR FACEBOOK,

I am not much of a complainer. At least I didn’t care much when the News Feed came about, or when regional communities mixed in with the college networks.

But I have a few concerns now. And because there seems to be no email or way of direct contact offered through Facebook.com, I am forced to “fan” the Facebook page to get a comment through (which I’ve already done) and resort to this blog.

First thing I noticed:

I started getting friend requests. Before, I did not allow the “Add Friend” button on my profile, nor did I let anyone see my photo or info or even find me in search. Now, the only choices I have are to allow “Everyone” to be able to friend me or “Friends of Friends”. Facebook, please note that just because someone is friends with a friend of mine does not mean that person is my friend. Yes, there are the block/ignore options, but were you not aware of the awkward situations this could bring up? Of course, friends of friends I could be more likely to run into. And no offense to them, I just like my Facebook to be private since it is very personal, but now I need to explain in person why their request was rejected. I could never be like that, and thus maybe I will just add everyone or let all these friend requests linger in my “Requests” section on the homepage.

Second thing:

Oh, clever Facebook, how you have tricked us. We used to think that that box at the top where we type in something was a “status”. But no, it is simply a “post”, or the “Publisher”. And now you define the News Feed, Wall, Comments, and Posts to all be the same thing. So when we see the option in our Settings about who can see our “Posts” (and the choices are Everyone, Friends of Friends, or Friends Only), then I think, yes, Friends Only. But wait, now in their News Feed are floods of comments I have made. They go to my profile and see “Recent Activity”, who I’m talking to and what I “liked”. These are all things we used to be able to take off before. Facebook, your solution? “Simply click on the ‘Remove’ button to take it off your wall.” Why can we not do this with comments that appear in News Feed? Also, the “Remove” button does not appear for sometimes up to a day later. So I wait, and wait, and wait some more, and then yay, I can finally take it off. Go, Facebook.

Third:

Your help section sucks. You offer help discussion pages, but guess what? We are only talking with other Facebook members complaining about the same things. Who is helping us?! Your search also fails to mention anything about the older Facebook settings, so if we try to search and find out why something isn’t there anymore, you provide 90 results, all of which have nothing to do with what we searched for. And good job on hiding from the community by not offering any emails, contact forms, or suggestion boxes. Why do we need to “fan” Facebook so we feel we can get some sort of message to you? What are you hiding behind?

So this can go on and on. Friends lists?! Those take forever to make and who would ever want to put their “friends” in “lists”? FYI, I still don’t know the difference between News Feed and Live Feed! Sure, you probably have all the money and power to do whatever you want. Forget what the users are screaming about. And sure, everyone will still keep using Facebook. I know I need to as long as everyone else is still using it. But do you really want to keep on with something only to have everyone hate you?

I had to stay up late tonight (not like I ever go to bed early) to see Boyz II Men on Jimmy Fallon. Boyz II Men? The Roots? Christmas? Yeah!

I haven’t been up to date with Boyz II Men in ages, and was hoping they’d do a Christmas song. Instead they did a cover of the Goo Goo Dolls’ “Don’t Want the World to See Me”. I was unaware that they were doing covers of older popular songs, and I came across one they did on the CBS morning show of “Amazed”, a song that I was obsessed with in jr. high!

I also just found out that all four, including Michael, of the R&B group will be reuniting with Mariah Carey in 2011! You can count on me being there!!! I remember a friend of mine going to a Mariah Carey concert here in LA and Boyz II Men surprised the audience for “One Sweet Day”. I am NOT going to miss that again.

Anyways, for the season, here is Boyz II Men singing “Silent Night” on an episode of Fresh Prince that I love watching during this season:

Found A-skirt bridal dresses that make me give a second look (and very Audrey Hepburn!). Click below to see a couple more.

Because elephants are cute, and kids are cute. So this kid dress is DOUBLY cute! Found it on Etsy.com, made by JoeyAndAleethea:

Too cute! This reminds me of the Korean kid who sang, Hey Jude, except this is the opposite. The words may not be that clear, but his ukulele skills are at its best. Plus, it’s a Jason Mraz song- double awesome! Watch this kid work those frets!

The girl’s in London at the moment, but she still got LookBook on her mind.
