should Facebook stalkers be forgot?

There is a little group of people stalking my Facebook page.

I know this because they spend an odd amount of time talking about it in front of lots of other people, some who think it's hilarious and that I might get a kick out of knowing about it.

The first time I heard about it I had posted a standard vague Facebook status update, along the lines of "I'm done". Apparently, someone in this little group woke up feeling insekur, decided it was about their group, and decidedly took action. The action being to tell anyone near them at the time about the status update I posted, and how it was about them.

It was funny, but really more pathetic. I was miffed, but in an effort to stay positive, decided that here was a wonderful learning opportunity. Armed with a keen interest in social anthropology, I unfriended some of them, and blocked only my status updates from others and left some as is. I posted another vague update, sat back and did like Bravo.

I was told one person went to another person wondering what I meant by the new update. The other person got online to see, only to find they couldn't see it. Now this is just hearsay, but I hear that one person took a picture of the computer screen with my page on it, to show the other persons who were unfriends or blocked. I can't help but wonder if they used their Acme Facebook Spying Camera for the job. Very impressive.

It caused a kerfuffle and I heard there was alot of "Did Bethany block you?" "I heard she blocked so and so" "I'm not blocked but I can't see her updates! How did she do that?" "wah wah wah wah wah" going on. Seriously.

I keep posting the usual random stuff. I chuckle when a person who was unfriended or blocked makes a smug comment to me about my latest update; "I saw you made cookies. With jam. Mmmm. Cookies are good" and "Ooh, Bethany, you were in NY. Yeah, I read about that. That's pretty cool, you going to NY and all. That reminds me of when I went to NY", sounding like little victorious Stewie Griffins.

I know they will read this, they just can't help it. But I'm taking off my lab coat, my experiment is done. I didn't really learn anything except that Facebook seems to be very intimidating to self important, petty people. For me, it is time to put childish things aside. 2010 is for me and my friends and family, our health and happiness, our hopes and dreams. Not for small minded, contemptible people.

That being said, if you think this is about you, it probably is.

fyi

post racial america

Recently, my husband (caucasian), our house guest (caucasian) and I (not-caucasian) were walking home after last call, in the wee hours of the morning. The streets were empty and we were tipsy, laughing and talking, having a good time, when we heard someone rapidly approaching behind us. We all spun around and came face to face with an acquaintance of ours.

"Hi *XXXX (caucasian)!", I said laughing and a little startled. "You startled us a little!"

"Well of course I did," he said, as he passed us, "with all these niggers running around here."

My husband and our house guest stood with their mouths agape.

"See ya soon!" XXXX said over his shoulder as he turned the corner.

"Did that just happen??" our house guest asked incredulously.

"Uh huh" I said. We went inside and poured ourselves more wine and sipped in silence for a bit.

Then we talked about all the reasons why XXXX might have thought that what he said was ok; He has black friends. He's not American. He's gay. I'm not 'really' black. Which began a conversation about "one one-eighth black", which lead to a full rereading of the constitution.

As the sun came up and we all prepared for sleep, our house guest asked me "Are you upset?"

I said "Only that I wasn't quick enough to reply 'We're not afraid of them. They only attack **XXXXX queens'."

Obama.

*XXXX's name and **nationality have been omitted to protect him from all these niggers running around here.

where the hell did October go?

What was I doing?

Los Angeles for a bit...

a little Nantucket...

a minute in NY...

Halloween...

and now it's November. crickey. I gotta start Christmas shopping.
