Facebook Official


Relationships these days, it seems, aren't official unless they are posted on Facebook. To be honest, if I hear about two people possibly being together, when I come home I go straight to Facebook to see if their profile says if they are in a relationship with each other or not. I'll have to admit, I do creep around on FB once and a while, but who doesn't?! I'm pretty sure the point of Facebook is so people can look around at your profile.

As most of you probably know, you can post that you are in a relationship, and even who you are in a relationship with. It really frustrates me when people say they are in a relationship, but they don't say who with. Pathetic I know. Well I guess one excuse is your significant other doesn't have a FB, but it's still fun to know! Also, each person has a "Mini Feed" to show what others have been up to on FB recently. My favorite thing to look at is the new relationships between my friends. I don't think I would know about half of the relationships I know about today if it weren't for my Mini Feed telling me so.

I myself am basically in a relationship that isn't FB official. Yeah, I know, I'm going against what I've been talking about, but that doesn't matter. I began dating my boyfriend in November, and that relationship "ended" at the beginning of this month. I think it's pretty lame because I haven't had a relationship this short since like 7th grade. But anyway, I'll probably blog about that in more detail later. Something happened with him and his ex girlfriend, and we needed to take a break because he didn't want me getting involved. I know he still cares about me, and I believe him when he says he doesn't want me involved and that we will get back together "officially". So for now, I have taken my relationship status off FB, and Elliott and I are not FB officially together. We still talk as much as we used to, and he still cares about me the same, we just aren't officially together. It's confusing to me and I'm one of the people involved in this relationship. The point of this whole thing is, Elliott and I are basically still together, and all of our friends know that, it's just that it isn't "Facebook Officail". What is this world coming to.
