So... yeah. Someone "defriended" me on Facebook, and I just realized it tonight. Someone I've known for a long time and considered to be a really close friend once upon a whenever.
I gotta tell ya, if they were looking to sting me, they did. Because... for real y'all... it's murder.
VIRTUAL MURDER.
It's not virtual manslaughter. It was no "accident". Oh no, kids. They got me execution style. I never saw it coming. Oh, wait. Maybe I did. Maybe I should have noticed when this person hadn't spoken to me, in an actual conversation, for like 3 years. I was curious when they sent me the friend request. I should've listened to my better judgment. All they were doing was setting me up for the fall. Now I've wasted like 12 minutes of my life wondering about it, worrying that I'd done something out of line, hoping that all my friends wouldn't follow suit. And I could have really used that 12 minutes for something productive -- like cleaning hair out of the drain or scooping runny cat poo out of the litter box.
I tried to be nice, even with the lack of any real friendship in existence. I "liked" and commented where I could. I tried to stay away from any offensive/obscene postings that might o-ffend. I don't even use the eff word on Facebook for fuck's sake because some of my friends have little kids who will eventually learn to read, and I'd rather teach it to them personally. Not through some faceless typeset.
But it doesn't matter because now that I'm officially, completely, virtually dead. Shot through the heart by Lee Harvey Fuckface, and I'm probably to blame. *sigh*
There will be no services because I don't really give a shit anymore. Your 12 minutes is officially up.
I'm glad that you will teach Fin the f word in person. I mean, sending it through email doesn't teach the different situations in which you can use the word and with which emphasis.
ReplyDeleteLet's be honest. Fin will most likely pick it up when I've accidentally said it after a couple of drinks. I definitely will attend to teaching him how to use it grammatically, however.
