I'm on a social network named "Facebook". I know it's a funny name...it's a book of faces? Or it's a face that looks like a book? Doesn't matter, it'll never last.
Having said that, I'm on it and I have some Facebook "friends". In fact I have a ton of friends (2,000 pounds...it's actually not hard. You get 10 big guys and you're there).
Also, like many people who attend a large church, I have a bunch of these "friends" that I don't necessarily hang out with every day. Occasionally I'll even receive a friend request from someone I don't really know that well. Typically I'll click the button that says something like "mutual friends". If it's a bunch of people I know, I figure I know this person and I'll hit "accept".
It's just who I am.
The other day I received a request from a name I didn't recognize. I looked for mutual friends and we didn't have any. I clicked on their name and it turns out they only had three friends. Even if these friends were huge, there was almost no chance she had a ton of facebook friends.
Would you like to know the three friends?
Sure you would
Sean Michael Murphy
Sean Michael Murphy
& a guy named Sean Michael Murphy
I would have been the fourth.
This tells me a couple of things.
1. I was her fourth pick of Sean Michael Murphys in this world
2. I'm fairly certain this is how a cereal killer would find out info before appearing at your house with a flamethrower and a well worn copy of Catcher in the Rye.
so did you accept her friendship or what???
ReplyDeleteoh, and I'll miss you when you're gone. that too.
