I'm a little addicted to Friendster. I've decided that it is the wave of the future. You never again have to actually get together with people to be friends with them. Now more than ever virtual friendships are everywhere. You can find out someone's birthday and send them an electronic greeting. You can send them a wink or a smile or whatever your website of choice offers. You can add new people to your stable of virtual friends based on taste in music or movies or books or the school you both went to where you didn't know each other.
I think the world might be ending. That's a bit of a disconnect. The world ending has nothing whatsoever to do with Friendster. But there was an earthquake in Japan yesterday. Another earthquake. Another natural disaster. What if the whole spinning orb that we're floating around on just falls to bits?If the world ends and I have not improved my life at all, I will float off into eternity a very pissed off soul, let me tell you. As it stands, I am 29 and alone which anyone will tell you is not a good thing. Not really alone alone since I have friends and family and I feel like I know everyone in New York sometimes. But alone in the sense that I don't have a "special someone". When is that going to come back and bite me in the ass, I wonder?
Truthfully, I don't really mind that I'm single. No one ever believes me when I say that. I know I'm supposed to so sometimes I pretend to bemoan my singleton state. But mostly I like that I don't have to bring someone to every event I'm invited to and I don't have to watch TV shows I don't like and go see movies that make me feel intellectually superior. (One of these days I will dedicate a post to the wonders that are my ex-boyfriends and this statement will make more sense. Today is not that day.)
