Sad day, seeing you go
You used to make me hate typing in status updates I couldn't do it without talking in present tense I complained about you when Facebook revamped But apparently you were a part of their heart But alas, I'll carry on, my wayward son |

What? This is crap. The final straw making facebook like that other, abominable social networking site. The "is" always gave me a grammatical challenge, a chance for me to flex my most erotic muscle. You could say anything you wanted, you just had to edit the tenses and phrasing a bit.

Haha, funnily enough you're not alone. There was an article in the paper recently about the challenges of starting each status with 'is'. Personally, I'm glad it's gone - though for the life of me I don't know what to put myself as doing now. |
