Better the Devil You Know!

As part of his regular publication, The Pessimist's Guide to Modern Living, William D. Green is preparing to undergo a week-long challenge to stay away from Facebook entirely in order to dispel (or otherwise) the myth that people living in the digital age cannot avoid logging into their favoured social networking site for any long period of time. He believes he could do this challenge for longer if he didn't need it after a week to advertise the publication of the seventh Pessimist's Guide.

In the course of this challenge, in order to make sure he has absolutely no chance at all of even glancing at his Facebook account, each member of The Pessimist Chronicles will be posting their arguments as to why they should be the one to recieve William's password, and then to change it so that he is well and truly locked out. These arguments are being posted, one by one, as articles herein. Here is the argument from the... well... the unique Shauny B.

Dear William,

Herein lies my argument as to why I should be chosen to guard your Facebook password.

I promise I will 'frape' you. I will change your personal details and add you to numerous groups. By the end of the week you will be friends with my mum and a fan of all things shiny. I shall enact my most surreal and abnormal fantasies upon your profile. Who knows what I'll do? All I shall say is that by the time you log back on your sense of self shall be as scued as Roger Daltrey's.

Who are you?
Who who who who
Who are you?

So... I can see you're wondering just why you should choose me? Well you see, with me you know exactly what to expect. I'm being honest with my intentions and thus feel you should remember those wise words,

better the devil you know!

At least this way you know what's coming!

Shaun Beale

I absolutely love the way you've put your argument - you clearly intend to do everything I fered you would do! Then again, you didn't really expect this to make me want to choose you, did you?!
