Unfriend number whatever


So, I just noticed that yet another person unfriended me on the facebook. Earlier today, I think.

A few years ago, I might not have noticed for a while. But now, it’s something I still just assume is going to happen.

(Just a quick recap for anyone new: When I started this blog and started posting links on the facebook, I lost about 60 or so within a couple of months. It was a little extreme. And since then it’s taped off a lot. Now it’s more occasional. My total number of “lost” “friends” is probably around 75 or 80? Maybe more, I don’t know.) 

I used to really wonder a lot who it was, often looking through my “friend” list to figure it out. I’ve probably said this before, but...when someone unfriends you, I wish the facebook would send you a notification. They notify you of every other fuckin’ thing.

Obviously, many of my “facebook friends” I’m not REALLY friends with. I know them in real life—well, there is one I can think of right now, whom I’ve not met in real life. A lot of them are people I was friends with or worked with or knew 5 or 10 or 20-something years ago. And even most of the people I currently know, I’m not that close to.

Well, this is starting to head toward depressing self-indulgent crap.

So, I’ll just say that while I haven’t bothered to figure out who the last several “friends” are who silently unfriended me, I assume that it’s due to this blog. In fact, of all the unfriends in the last year-and-a-half, only one ever wrote me and said anything. It was almost humorous.

Anyway, despite that fact that I still sort of expect unfriendings, it still surprises me. It’s just sad so many people can’t handle being friends with a naked person. And they just disappear, in silence. Have some balls, people. Tell me you don’t like this or you’re uncomfortable, or that you think I’m a pervert out to do horrible things to your children.
(Oh yeah, I never did write about that. I guess I’m still processing... Soon.)

Well...enough ranting.
Goodnight.
