Facebook Showdown

this is awesome Sunday morning banter isn't it? I can't even believe this crazy freak went to the bother of jacking her kids account to send me this message...well everyone this is Laura, I wasn't nice to her in high school for no reason other than I thought she was dumb...well...as you can see my opinion has not changed I have just changed the medium in which to let ppl know that. I admit this amuses me slightly only b/c its so fucking silly.

SUBJECT: Hey This is Laura K
Message from Brett H

Brett is my son, and I had to go through his account in order to find you because for whatever reason you have me BLOCKED~

I thought we were passed all this immature highschool bullshit.... however if you have blocked me I am guessing not.

I as of late have not done or said anything to you that was not appropriate, or unfriendly.

However, if this is still the kind of person you are, than I am glad you blocked me.

I definately dont need friends who come and go......

Message between you and Laura K:

Laura...No you have not done anything wrong and I feel absolutely no ill will towards you or wish anything but the absolute best for you as a human being. With that said, since you will not let this go and move on to more important/valuable things, we do not have a "friendship" b/c we are Facebook "friends". You don't know me anymore than I know you on a very superficial level. I have deleted 100+ people over the last few years based on a few factors:

a) We don't talk or know each other that well and being Facebook "friends" is not changing that even after we have gone through the others photo albums.

b) I no longer wish to read stupid status updates/whining from people who I don't know all that well or talk to.

c) I am just not interested in pursuing "friendship" with certain people. I have X amount of time in a day and I ultimately have to choose how I want to spend it and who with.

When months go by before people even notice I am not on their "friend" list (and vice versa) this is indicative to me that we are not friends in the real sense so what does it matter if we are FB "friends" or not? I have a lot of friends and family on Facebook and I am continually removing ppl, friends or more distant family, who are clearly not anymore interested in me and my life than I am in theirs. It is not some sinister high school plot to bully you or be "immature", quite the opposite actually. I don't feel validated in anyway by the # of friends I have on Facebook, in fact I try to keep it as low as I can for reasons I am too tired on a Sunday morning to delve into.

As I said above Laura there is no ill will here whatsoever and you are entitled to perceive this however you like even after my explanation.
I simply do not find you all that interesting. PERIOD. I don't feel knowing you is going to enhance my life; see reason C above. This does not mean I think I am better than you or I have anything incredible to offer you as a human either. As adults we meet ppl constantly we don't "click" with and we pass them over without a lot of thought but since you insist on making this an issue then I feel obligated to be honest with you.

Thanks for clarifying. No facebook doesn't make us friends, but it's a start ...

I am on the island a few times a year, and go to powell river even less, however was willing to get together with you for a coffee, or something, or just even to chit chat.....

No worries, just gives me more time to spend with my son, that's all. And that's a good thing!

Good luck in your future!

BTW, the months go by, because i dont have a lot of time to chat to anyone on my friends list. I am too busy working 10 - 12 hour days, sometimes more. My weekends are filled with stuff i dont get done during the week because of work, and when my hubby is on the same weekend off as me, I am even busier with him.

So... not to be taken personal... but the last couple of months was pre inventory, inventory, post inventory, honeymoon in mexico, and now boss is away and IM still just as busy....

If i do get on facebook, it's to play word twist, or scamble, or path words, I very seldom message anyone....

My life is too busy to message everyone on a regular basis to say hello, but its nice to have you around when i do actually get the time to write you. doesn't mean i have forgotten about you, just means that my life is so busy, I dont even get to have a personal one!

And I guess you dont find me interesting as you have not ever given a chance to get to know me.... that being said... again, i dont care that you blocked me......... just goes to show after almost 20 years of being out of school, your still the shallow girl i remember. and remember for that reason i did not like.

Now she blocked me...FINALLLLLLLY...I was a little worried she was gunna go on all day explaining to me why she was interesting......

The End
