Click, I’m in a Relationship! Yup, Facebook.
// February 18th, 2010 // 6 Comments » // I Love LA.
I was talking to my little middle-school niece on the phone yesterday. I’m in Los Angeles, and she’s in Florida so I don’t get to see her much. She told me she broke up with her boyfriend and a minute later he’d changed his Facebook Status to say “single.” When she told him she wasn’t ready for a relationship he said “Can we still dance together at the school dances?” She said no so he changed his status. I love kids. They do the darndest things.
So I just updated my Facebook Status. Now I’m “In a Relationship.” It was scary to click that mouse and now have a public record that anyone in the entire world has access to. Anyone with internet access, that is. Not that anyone cares, really. My Los Angeles friends are probably too busy pursuing their dreams of acting to even notice. Or perhaps they don’t give a mouse’s butt because they’re experiencing hazards in their own dating life. My friend Jason who happens to be a straight male here in Los Angeles Facebooked me “I spent my Valentines Day at The Abbey. I’m not joking, being sarcastic or pulling your leg. I actually was at the worlds most famous gay bar during valentines day. Shit happens.” To comfort him I told him that he was probably checked out like crazy by the gay men. He was. “I was reminded how high my value is in the gay community. Apparently I’m a highly regarded piece of ass.” Whatever makes you happy, I always say. My boyfriend Stan makes me happy. It didn’t bother him that my face was in the tabloids with a male-stripper (see last blog) and he made me a raw-food vegan meal this weekend since I said that’s what I like. I love adults. We too, do the darndest things.
