getting pinned in the 21st century

So the boyfriend and I are sitting around catching up on each other's Monday and Tuesday last night, and he tells me an anecdote about how his friends are asking why, if he has a girlfriend, his MySpace page still says "single". To which I respond, "changing your MySpace status is like getting pinned in high school was in the 1950s." It's not the ( Read more... )

It breaks my heart to watch you start spelling in American.

Yeah, I caught the "armor" instead of "armour" but I think I have more Americans reading these days, and I didn't want them to get it confused with Armour Hot Dogs.

Since boffo and I got back together, I've found it a little bit of an adjustment to get used to "having a boyfriend" again. it's a weird dichotomy, because when we weren't together, it was so hard for me to NOT think of him as my boyfriend anymore. But I was just at the point of being used to being single, so a lot of things that I'd normaly think baout/plan that only affect me are no things that I have to stop and think about more, because they DON'T just affect me anymore. Like if I wanted to move to Italy for a year. Or even take a week long vacation. But on the other hand, it seems so right for us to be together that when I encounter people who don't know we're back together, I'm surprised that they're surprised, because it seems like just the default state of things. Ok, this isn't making any sense. :) But we went through something similar with OK Cupid (neither of us is on MySpace), which might be a little different since OKC is specifically dating-oriented. I don't know anything about MySpace ( ... )
