Facebook sucks

This blog is really a journal. I don't expect or care if anybody else reads it. Also, I'm hoping that someday I'll turn it into a screenplay and finally cash in on all the pain and suffering!!! So, it's probably best if nobody reads it so they don't steal our great and depressing stories. A guy can dream, right? :)

Ok, so what is new? Well, for one, facebook kind of sucks ass. My old girlfriend from high-school has reappeared out of the blue and found me on facebook. At first I thought "wow, she's still alive!" Then it became obvious why she had reappeared--so to speak. She was pregnant. She finally had something that she was proud of...something to say...some reason to reconnect with old friends. (At least that's what I suspect was her thought process...and coming from where I come from I think I can understand the feeling...it was very obvious in hindsight.) In a lot of ways, good for her. I'm happy for her. Things have not been particularly easy in her life so far and she deserves some good luck and happiness.

Of course, often stories like hers are the type that drive these fertility 'myths' b/c she told me that she was really surprised that she was pregnant "it was a shock" b/c she was told by the Dr (no doubt some total quack told her something that she wrongly interpreted) that she would never get pregnant. I'll bet dollars-to-donuts that the Dr told her she had endomytriosis and might have trouble getting pregnant and she interpreted that to mean she would NEVER get pregnant. Ultimately though, who cares. She has her miracle. So...her boyfriend accidentily got her pregnant. How sweet. I remember a million years ago when IM and I would get 'worried' from time to time when her period was a little late. Ha! Joke was on us b/c it just meant her cycles were all fucked up most likely...besides we were super careful. Good thing we were so careful, right?

This brings me back to facebook. Since old-girlfriend is my facebook-friend I get to see some updates about her pregnancy...some pictures blah blah blah...today I got to read how, although she is due in 4 weeks, she will probably deliver in 2. Fine. Good to hear. You can 'hide' people on facebook but I don't want her completely hidden. I also don't want to spoil her fun. I cannot, however, participate in her excitement....from a distance I hope and pray everything goes perfect...and she lives happily ever after.

Alright...I got nothing else today. I have the flu and am feeling pretty down and depressed. Such is life.
