So after my whole "I quit the internet" post, which i also posted on my other blog that my friends and whoever reads, I got a bunch of phone calls, a couple of emails, basically all to the effect of "What did I do to make you angry at me?" Because apparently when my friends went online and saw that I wasn't their Myspace friend anymore, they took it as some kind of betrayal, one person even saying, "I went online and saw something wasn't right, my top 8 was all screwed up, why aren't you my friend anymore?"
Oh it's taking every bit of me not to bang my forehead on my desk. So we're not friends in real life because we're not friends on myspace? Because I won't be able to see what stupid quizzes you're posting on the bulletin and how many self-shot pictures you have of yourself I betrayed you somehow?
Here's the main reason why I quit myspace. A few months ago, me and my ex broke up...horribly. We did one of those "Let's try and make it work, even though we know deep down inside that things will never be the same and at some point this will end much worse than it should." After that, on our respective blogs we'd put cryptic, scathing posts about each other, going back and forth with clever song lyrics and vague anecdotes to mask our true hatred for each other. Basically instead of fighting like real adults we degraded to a third grade playground fight that lasted for about a month.
She won, by the way. The winning post was about her getting shit faced drunk and screwing around with a bunch of guys (I'd make a list of all the reasons why I really hate guys, but I just don't have that much time. I mean there are a lot of reasons) and the final third grade blow came with some comment about how random drunk strangers are better in bed than I am. Could be true, I don't really know, I haven't really gone out lately and slept with random men. Not exactly on my "to-do" list.
So then I thought, "What the hell am I doing?" I mean was I really having an internet fight? So I decided I will no longer express my feelings with song lyrics or quotes. I will never, ever, ever have a fight over the internet, ever. I will be a grown, responsible, mature adult (For the most part).
Of course I thought I was alone in the whole internet obsession, but as I have found out now all of my friends are sucked in as well, I mean it's crazy to think that when I basically say that I quit Myspace so I can spend more face-to-face time with people, that somehow that means I don't want to be friends.
I do want to be friends. Just you know, not internet friends.
I also vow that I will never again make a vague post like "I have a problem or a choice to make and I don't know what to do..." and not be specific. It's kind of like a slap in the face, like saying "You're not important enough to know what's really going on, but I think so highly of myself that I can tease you will a vague glimpse into my personal life.
Also, on a completely unrelated note, I from yesterday to today, according to my weight scale, I went from 192 pounds to 188. That's after a night of wine drinking and binge snacking. I was going to go jogging today but a slight hangover headache put that off, but still 4 pounds have gone missing. It's weird, but I really hope it keeps happening. 4 down, 16 more to go.
