Congrats! You've been duped!
As cruel as it is, I have played a joke on everyone. The best part about it is that really, the whole time, I just kept my comments as vague as possible, and people always assumed the worst.
But no, unlike my former facebook status said that I was single, I am in fact very much in a relationship with the love of my life, the guy who I will have shared my life with for five years in January. Sure, you may be gagging at how corny and mushy that is, but I'm pretty proud that someone as neurotic as me could actually be in a relationship for that long, and most importantly be happy.
So let me first say that I am incredibly sorry to those of you who felt sympathy for me. I was terrible to take advantage of your trusting instincts. Thank you to everyone who helped me through my imaginary breakup. In the future I promise I will not be so careless will all of your feelings!
But really, this whole thing was to make a point.
Although facebook and livejournal have provided us with endless amounts of procrastination time, they should not be relied on for accurate information.
In some ways, the idea of internet friendships is appealing. Often there is a rapid-fire exchange of information without any of the real pressures of actual contact with people. But at this point in my life, I'm looking to simplify. I feel pretty sure that after college, I'll say goodbye to the good ole livejournal. And facebook is only amusing for so long.
Bottom line?
I really like all of you, and I'd take an afternoon of conversation with you over a lifetime of internet exchanges any day.
So again, I'm sorry.
But...it was still pretty funny though =)
p.s. how do y'all know i wasn't just quoting that RENT song "Contact"?
hmmm....
also i just realized i've never used the "devious" emoticon in any of my entries...
