Attention, Facebook: I am not in high school

I am so bored by and irritated with this ridiculous boys vs. girls narrative that seems to pop up around every corner. You'd think men and women spend every waking hour either trying to sleep with each other, or make each others' lives living hells, or make each others' lives living hells after sleeping with each other. I mean, we couldn't possibly live in harmony with each other, right? That never happens. It's just non-stop saloon showdowns, all the time.
Anyway, everyone knows the best revenge--against an ex, an ex-friend, a crappy boss, or whoever--is living a good life. I simply fail to see how friending an ex's mom is an actual punishment. And while getting healthier, instead of descending into a boozy death spiral, is pretty cool after a break-up, I really can't get on board with women using their weight as some kind of ex-zapping weapon. Finally, has anyone actually used the "date his friends" thing since they were in high school? Anyone who isn't currently appearing on daytime television, I mean?
Ugh. You guys. I have hate in my heart today.

Sigh. I'm just so glad I'm not the only one that gets those stupid ads.

How long did you live in Dallas?
Posted 03/03/2010 at 02:58:49 PMMan...I hear ya- sounds like you need to get away from it all with a viewing of COUPLES RETREAT (THE MOVIE). No? How about letting yourself know you're special with VALENTINE'S DAY (THE MOVIE)!
Posted 03/03/2010 at 03:26:30 PMOh crap. Now you ruined the end of the movie for me. On second thought, I was never going to see it in the first place. Thankfully, my eyes seem to have been trained to no longer even register ads with my brain.
Posted 03/04/2010 at 06:24:52 AMI detest these types of stories. Even in highschool I knew better than that! My sister is the type to always go on a crash diet after a break up "for revenge". She is convinced she'll get skinny and make the ex jealous. This of course has never even come close to happening.
Posted 03/05/2010 at 03:47:53 PMWhen I was engaged I constantly had ads for wedding invitations on my facebook. As soon as I changed my status to married baby stuff started popping up in my adds. Jesus, it's bad enough my Mom hounds me! I don't need a social networking site pestering me about procreating
