Abandoned by Facebook Friends

There is a car commercial out there where a girl sits behind a computer confessing she is worried about her parents' social lives. The commercial is a disgusting, though potentially true, depiction of the generation gap. I laughed at it, believing that I am above it, sort of.

Then, today, I went to post something on the wall of a friend only to discover that we are no longer friends. This is the second time in a week that I have realized that I have been unfriended. The first one didn't hurt so much, it was a former classmate that I was never particularly close to, but today, that hurt.

It hurt not because I have one less facebook friend but because facebook was the medium of communication with this particular friend who has a habit of being challenged by life and disappearing into the unknown for periods of time. And, please don't tell him this, I look up to him, I need him because I am also not sure what is going on.

Granted our struggles are worlds apart, and I tend to find out about his though strange sourced, but he is/was a a buddy though it all. Usually he was just a laugh. And a laugh is pretty important at this point in my life.

So here's to missing my facebook friend. A tear shed.

Facebook

So I'm on facebook. I know, right, I'm so trendy-cool. Everyone wants to be me. Everyone wants to be on the facebook. Including my grandmother.

Yes, my grandmother decided that she would like to be my friend. Don't tell her but I only became her friend because I don't want to worry the family. I'm the nice one here, I have accepted the "friendship" of several aunts, my mom's childhood best friend and so forth. I'm not even a friend-whore, I go through and delete "
"friends" every once and a while but some of them you just can't get rid of, they'll call your mommy.

Curses facebook, curses!

Also how am I supposed to create traffic via facebook? I don't want her to know that I despise everything about everything she's ever said to me, and if she reads this she will know.

hmph.
