F'queue My Friend

Much like everyone, including my parents, (insert uncomfortable shutter) I have a facebook page. However, having a facebook page also leads to my guilty pleasure. I enjoy allowing people I don’t know, or those who say they want to be my friend, to sit in my queue. Once I feel enough time has passed, and they have likely forgotten they asked to friend me, I delete them. Yes, this may sound cruel to you, but to me it is just weeding out the weak. They obviously never meant enough to me or vice versa to keep in touch. Thus I feel no need in letting them into my cyber life.

I know, I know, I could put these “frien-emies” on limited friend status, but why? First, I feel “letting” them sit in my queue is giving them hope. Hope they may gain the key to enter my facebook life. Second, I have not spoken to these people since high school, in the 12 years since high school finding me was clearly not of importance to them, so why would I want to be friends with them now?

My favorite example is the intern who took my job, after I was laid off. The company said they couldn’t afford me. The intern then tried to friend me. Are you kidding why would she think I would want to be her friend?

I feel my queue is one of the tiny pieces of the world I get to control. Much like my hair color, heal height and coffee houses. I enjoy the freedom to accept or deny people. I feel powerful, like a tyrant. WAH HA HA! Oh, too much, sorry.

Step One

Socially In Socially Out (SoInSoOut) is a snarky, fashionable, yet intellectual, look into my life within social media and the hunt for my infamous “dream career.” Don’t expect this to be a blog written by an English major, I have wanted to be a journalist my entire life, and when social media came around I found the amazing black and white, pony hair, 5” Louboutin’s (if you don’t know I can‘t explain it) that fit my journalism degree perfectly. I know you will enjoy reading and commenting on SoInSoOut as much as I enjoy writing it.
Thank you, and welcome to Socially In Socially Out.
