Status Updates: The Quandary

What the hell is the big deal with men and having a status of "In a relationship" on a social networking profile? If you're a woman you know what I'm talking about and if you're a man you are going "What the hell is the big deal with WOMEN and a status on a social networking profile?" (You men always turn it around like that… now deny it!) If you've dated anyone before who had Facebook/Myspace/Whatever it's always (at least for me) been an awkward thing… so when do I put "in a relationship"? Is it after you have had "the talk"? Apparently not because few things are more uncomfortable than putting "in a relationship" on your profile and having that not be "accepted" on their end. I mean DAMN! So you introduce me to your parents, grandparents, cousins, and all of your friends as your girlfriend but god forbid your Facebook page say "in a relationship". So whatever, I get past these things. It's something I'm coming to accept… guys are idiots. Whatever. Cool.

But what really just REALLLY drives me crazy is these crazy bitches that say "I don't care." Oh fuck you, honey - you know damn well that you care. I just want to slap everything about them! Do NOT give me that "I'm cool" shit. That's like the girls that my boyfriend's roommate walks all over. These poor idiot girls (I'm not saying I've never been one of them) will say that they "know the deal" with him. That they know he's screwing around and they just don't care because they just want to "have fun". Oh puuuuhhhhlease. It's only about 3 weeks before they're calling me going, "I don't want to make things awkward or weird or anything but…." BUT… This is when they wanna know where he's been, who's he's been hooking up with (not that they care or anything), and what I've got going on that weekend (In hopes of an accidental run in? Oh no never!). It's transparent and crap. Where was I? Oh yeah, these bitches who say it doesn't bother them to not be "in a relationship". Really? Then it shouldn't bother you that everyone calls you a whore either. Oh snap! They should have a status for these types of girls called "deranged".


Before I forget, I just can't stand Facebook snobs (a.k.a. Myspace snobs). These are folks that claim to never check their page because they are too busy and just don't have time for silly things like that. If that's the case, asshole, then why do you even have a page? Like what the fuck is up with that hypocritical bullshit? Why do you have the application downloaded to your phone? Don't act like you are above social networking. I mean, yeah, it can be downright juvenile at times, but let's be real here, it's fun and pretty much part of our culture now. Man i tjust pisses me off when people will roll their eyes about these sites and sure enough open an account within a year! Then, once they have the account they claim to never use it. Yawn, I want to delete you now for wasting my time with your pretentious crap! Anywho, I must really be off so I can be too busy pretending not to post to my blog, check facebook or myspace, and in general be cooler than everyone else. Pshaw!

What if you are "in a relationship" with Jesus? Does that count?

Eli said...

Ooh...never thought of it that way! Funny as it seems - I know plenty of people who would do that - put their status as "in a relationship, with Jesus". Hehe!

Hello Eli,

I like your rants. They're honest. But you don't post very often do you? I was just wondering if I would view your rants as bitchy if you weren't so hot. Hmmmmm. Sad isn't it? Because you're attractive, your diatribes take on a precocious and rather endearing quality. How superficial we are. Anyway, I hope you post more as I will come back and look as I've been introduced to you via LOTD.

Best,

VF

Hey E, It's me. Taylor. Your best friend. I've been calling you to tell you you're the FOLOTD, but you've failed to return my calls and text. Since you've taken this week off work, you aren't bored as hell, surfing the internet so I doubt that you'll look at it today and thus miss out on your some-what-of 15 minutes of fame. Rant about that - ha! But the above commenter is correct in that you don't blog very often, in fact it seems only once a year so I guess we'll have to wait till 2010 to hear about it. But what he (or she) does not realize is that your entire life is a rant and you don't limit it to blogging, you use just about every form of expression the world has to offer, and blogging I guess just happens to be at the bottom of your list. Looking forward to your 1:32 am drunken call in which I will relay this information to you and will have to remind you about the next day.

I also like how the above commenter thinks your rants aren't 'bitchy' cause you're 'hot'. Only one part of that is true. You should get their phone number so they can hear your tone. And your constant car honking. Only hot people have the right to be bitchy, duh. Otherwise we'd be known for our "Great personalities!"

Love you! Hope you're having a great vacay! Gerd.
