facebook amusement
Arrived home feeling sad and in need of the chuckle I got out of Facebook. My latest Facebook application invite was for "Spark" which seems, if I have got this right, to be an application where you look at your friend's friends and say if you find them attractive from their photos. The question is "would you date ...friend's name here..?" that's american for do you find them attractive, aint it? Cos dating, how can I know? As my granny used to say "he cud gan hyem an kick the cat, our Marie" Meaning: well you know nothing about him and he could be a bad man. Cat kicking in the privacy of one's own home being the epitome of what bad men do. So I tried to answer: Is this man attractive? And i tried to say yes whenever it was reasonable to do so, I really did. But the question kept getting in the way as Spark kept showing me a never ending litany of other people's husbands, other people's boyfriends, men holding babies, men holding big fish, my ex boyfriends, gay men, Jesuits, my volunteers. I've never rejected as many men in one evening before! Laugh out loud funny! It needs a "maybe if they weren't...gay...married...celibate...holding a baby..." button to spare people's feelings. And a "hell no" button to make saying no more interesting when you really mean it.
I also note with amusement that since I changed my status on Facebook, Facebook doesn't want me to me a nun anymore. Facebook had thought that was a good idea previously. Facebook now wants me to meet impossibly chiseled, unfeasibly young looking men on dating sites. Oh Facebook, I dont think you know me very well!
