One day, we’ll wake up and find our heads displaced. Our bodies are nothing more than a mass of mottled-green tentacles and we slither about, rather slowly, like snails. Yes, with a trail of slime in our wake. But maybe someday we might wake up with horns growing out of our foreheads and have hooves instead of hands and feet. I’m still amused by how so many people could respond and react to but one change in FaceBook – the status. Would they think happily ever after ever lasted? Tsk. So deluded.
Why do people take such things seriously anyway?
Blogs are for light-hearted things and when you want to rant about the government. Well, not really the latter but hey, shiny happy prawns! Who needs the grumps when you can wallow in anime for self-pitying company?
ooo.. old entry about the Facebook status thing,eh? –
why people care about Facebook relationship statuses? Simple; it’s not that people take things too seriously. It’s more of the effort you took to change. If, assuming it didn’t matter, what would compel you to change in the first place? The act you took suggested to the community of friends that there was something substantial that happened and offered their concern by responding.
For instance, if I may, I’d suggest a thought – if you saw that I wrote on my status on Facebook that I thought I was dying of AIDS or Cancer, would it be sheepish for someone to not response as I assume that nothing on Facebook matters? Or should one assume that I wrote it because I wanted to inform my friends of the desperate time I was going through? who knows.
Relationship status are a less urgent variation of the concept, I guess. But, y’know, it doesn’t matter why you do it. I call fault at the remark that no one should care if you were going through a breakup, given a facebook change in relationship. Sorry, honey, too many people care about you too much to not care.
Garh.
