myspace what?
sooooo instead of reading/studying/working like i should be (what else is new), i decided to log into myspace and check things out. i was looking at all my friends and just checking in on their profiles n shit ... cause really, what else is myspace for if not to check up on people you haven't and don't really want to talk to to find any real information about??
ok, mind you, out of all howevermany people i have on there, there really is only 5 or so people that i've never met, not counting bands (of which i'm either a huge fan or i personally know a band member) or famous people (dane cook, mia tyler, etc). and out of these people, you got the standard not-that-sketchy-and-still-pretty-cute guy, who messaged to initiate that myspace friendship, but you never talk to... and you got the classic myspace whore... who really annoys you with each bulletin posting, but you feel too bad to delete (i mean, she is the only myspace whore i have). now, the only other people i have friended that i don't actually know, (haha and i just took a count) are about 4 random-assed girls... usually in highschool or just out of it. you accept these people cause they seem harmless enough... you've checked their profiles, they're not the annoying 14 year-old wannabe j-lo impersonators that the rest are, they're not lesbian or bisexual, so you rule that out, they're not searching for their 5,367th friend... so you say, ok, what the hell. innocent enough, you rarely even think about these people other than the once-a-month "check out new profile pics" bulletins they post, and when you do, it's always the same: some goofy, good-time photos of them and friends, them and boyfriends, them and family... yada yada yada.
but there's this one girl, who friended me about a month ago. her name's katie, and maybe that's why i keep checking her profile out - cause i am drawn to other katie's here and there... but this girl is like... perfect. i mean ya, classic pretty: dark hair/features, green eyes, nice-color & flawless skin, great smile even. she's got the tall/slender body thing going and her boyfriend is impecable. she's 19, and so cute... i just want her to be my little sister or something... she seems kiddish almost.
oh! look... a link to her boyfriend's profile...
22, firefighter, incredible blue eyes, again, perfect smile... identical twin brother. whaaaat? haha.
oh look... a link to her sister's profile...
16, same perfect figure, lighter skin, bright blue eyes, same smile... they could be twins.
and you can tell by profiles and pictures in them a little more about that persons life... for example, you can see shitty housing, baggy clothing, people with heavy makeup and hand signs... blah blah blah and know "oh, ok, these people think they're badass... oh how cute, that 15 year old is pregnant"... or, you can see nice houses, expensive clothing/jewelry, parents that also look like they'd have a profile on myspace (you know the ones im talking about)... and think "oh, ok these people have money, these girls probably have their wedding paid for already... and they're 15."
annnnnnnnnnnd of course the latter is this girl's situation. now, in a closer look at a cute pic of her making a face, you can see her living room... nice furniture, piano in the back, even the window dressings set it apart. ok, ok, lots of families have nice houses - my parent's would probably look nice in the right light. and then, pictures of her family at thanksgiving (they live in florida) show people outside in a backyard setting. pretty normal, nice dressed people, smiling for the occasion and about to eat a nice dinner in nice weather. in their enclosed backyard... and i don't mean fence, i mean like... glass housing. as in, a sun room.
with a built-in pool.
next to a lake.
i was like "whaaa?"
and usually, these types of people are really stupid or selfish or lame or absorbed in themselves... (oh god, i just got a flashback to a girl in highschool... who took advantage of her awesomely nice family - her mom used to take the jeans she'd worn that day, wash, dry and fold them, and have them back on her bed before she went to bed that night... WHAT?! [true story]). but what gets me with these people... is that they're religious. and not superchristian religious, but "i thank god for all i have" and actually-go-to-church-each-week religious that's really rare, and really hits you and when you see it in a relationship of a 19 and 22 year old, it's really sweet. (not to say the girl's still a virgin or that they're totally bullshitting the whole thing and fuck like bunnies everyday - cause what do i know about that). but i was like "aw, what the hell?" cause she seems sooo like, perfect. and the sweet seems sincere... and the boyfriend is religious, and his hot twin brother is religious (who's name is BEN...haha i thought that was cute)...[and on a side note, i even think the boys were adopted or something]... and her brother is religious (and again with the blue eyes!!)... and the parents are cute and look really friendly, and the perfect-ness of the entire scene is just crazy!
and ok, yea, i know this is all from fucking myspace... but people are real on myspace. i'm real on myspace. my friends (for the most part, ahem) are real on myspace. it's not like it's adultfriendfinder or anything... or even hot or not... i mean, myspace is about as "real" as i've seen online (as real as you're gonna get online), so who's to say their perfect world isn't the same?? it all just seems innocent and sincere... i dunno. i dont know why it even caught me off guard- i guess i just didn't grow up like that and never really met anyone who did. maybe jessica tekawa. maybe aleta, or hannah, or kate n sarah. but even then - i remember kate n sarah when we were little, and we hung out at their house - life was definitely not glass-housed-in-ground-pool or live-next-to-a-lake perfect. blah. whatever. what's it really matter.
if you read this far, i'm sorry. haha.
((no really... it's not that promising))
