You are a gossip magazine for the masses. Who drank what, who fell over, who wore what to which party? Cheated on who, with whom, who was single, got in a relationship, got out of a relationship only to get into a relationship with someone I share 30 mutual friends with and have never met. Hell, I don't even have 30 friends, not if we are to take friends to mean, people you would do anything for and can trust with everything. If I met me in real life, I would be very suspicious indeed of my 219 friends, 219 friends, seriously, who has time for that many friends, I have a job, a life, 24 to watch...
So I'm thinking, maybe you're being a little ambitious with the use of the word book in your title. I get Facemag doesn't have quite the same ring to it, I appreciate the addictive nature of your existence, paging Betty Ford, paging Betty Ford, come in Betty, but sweet Gepetto in heaven, I want to be a real girl not a virtual one. So I just wanted you to know, while I have fallen prey to your considerable charms, I can quit anytime I want....Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go, someone, somewhere, we may have met in a bar, who knows, is poking me...
Yours sincerely,
Facebook and I are no longer on speaking terms. This time we've broken up for good.
ReplyDeleteI bet your back in it's arms within the week! It won't even need to bring flowers....
ReplyDeleteDear whatever your real name is,
ReplyDeleteI love your blog,
Sincerely,
Linda
I am on facebook. I only have four friends. I realised that it does not matter whether I am on facebook, myspace or twitter, I will always be a friendless sort.
ReplyDeleteDear Vegas Linda Lou,
ReplyDeleteThank you so very much and as soon as I find my copy of Yiddish with Dick and Jane, I'll thank you properly... Yes, yes, I loved your last post!
Yours sincerely,
Linda and her twaddle - How excited am I to say I know of someone with a genuine Facebook account! Four friends, sounds just right!
ReplyDeleteMy Facebook life lasted about 30 seconds... but as it turns out, once you've entered the Facebook World you can't leave forever. And so I'm facebookscarred for life.

Polly it's okay, some bio oil will do the trick, there isn't a scar it can't remove!
