“what are you up to these days? how is everything going?”
What does that even mean? Really? Like, how is EVERYTHING going? Well, let me think, do you have all day to sit down and listen to me tell you? Would you like for me to re-write my daily blog in an email? Do you even really wanna know?
Could you not just have looked at my profile on any zillion social networks and seen where I work or that I recently uploaded photos and went to a party or two. Facebook makes it so easy for old friends acquaintances to see what you’ve been up to. So, why do people ask such general and impersonal questions?
If you’re my friend on FB you’ll be used to seeing my little square face in your news feed with photos, blog posts and status updates. IF we’re friends, (emphasis on the IF) it’s pretty easy to see what someone’s been up to. I always check a friends profile before I message them, that’s what Facebook is for! Duh.
So, when and old friend asks “what are you up to these days? how’s everything going?” I think to myself, we must not be friends and you probably don’t care.
Urgh, rant much? if you ever wanna ask me something crazy, fun or just plain outta this world go right ahead.
Happy Day 🙂
