The Social Network is after me.

So, it's the Herbsteferien (Fall Holiday).
A. I do not understand the necessity to have a specific self existing holiday to mark a season.
B. Since I am broke and too far from anyone I know in Germany, I decided to stay home in St. Blasien.


Egal! (term to mean irrelevance or lack of importance of a thing in German). I planned out this holiday well. I shall stay home, do some work and self searching. Most importantly, I will embark on a journey to discover what I want to do with my life.


First day today, did nothing important. Went out for a coffee. Bought a DVD I thought was interesting. Cooked dinner and then sat down to enjoy my movie and meal.


Full stomach, Check.
Movie enjoyed, Check.
Nicotine inhaled, Check.


A few minutes later I log into Facebook and on the suggestions for People To Subscribe To, I find "Eduardo Saverin" and "Mark Zuckerberg". I kid you not, my Heart skipped a beat and I looked around me for a minute to check if I was really alone. 


Facebook. 
Increasing level of Paranoia one Log in at a time.


HOW DID THEY KNOW that I JUST watched "The Social Network"?
Why am I not thinking that this is merely a fluke?


Because I only usually get subscription suggests for people I know and things I look up or things I'm interested in. I usually don't go on Facebook or Google to read up on how the good ol' inventors of Facebook are doing.


I must get to the bottom of this!!
