Cynical Musings
Awhile back I caved in a got a facebook account. I don't participate in all of the silliness, but I was tired of getting nagged by everyone I knew.
The funny thing is now all of these people I barely knew from high school are looking me up "I'm so glad I found you", "I thought of you often over the years", "I hope your life is wonderful" yadda yadda yadda.
I have a hard time believing there is an sincerity in their comments because I was NOT popular in high school... I was an over weight, frizzy haired bookworm who had more friends among the staff than the student body. So now why are all of these people so glad to realize my existence? I find myself very doubtful that they have changed and I am not about to do their home work for them.

It makes me wonder who are the "real life" friends. The people we see and interact with know nothing of our hobby and our passions. Yet, they have the title "real life" because we have met face to face. That is such a shame. I guess I have to agree with Lariope's icon it reads "I love my computer because my friends live in it"

Perhaps I should explain. I'm from Williamsburg, Virginia. As in the Colonial capitol. I also grew up in 18th Century costume. I have friends who I call by their First and Middle names. And no, there's not much diversity in the town, or much appreciation for diversity.
It makes a great tourist attraction. It's cute, and quaint, and enjoyable to visit. But if you live their long enough you begin to absorb the local mentality and shocked sense of virtue. I recommend visiting only.
