Technology

So I think the last time I laughed really hard was when my friend Amy sent me a Facebook friend request. We've been friends for a long time, but she's moved around for work so I haven't seen her in awhile. As we get older, things change, right? Well, I took a look at her Facebook page and in the top, right hand corner, a mystery unfolded. Under her personal stats, for the section "interested in", Amy wrote "women". That certainly was news to me, the last I knew she was making out with a Mo Rocca doppelganger at my bachelorette party. But she had just moved to San Fransisco, so I thought there was a possibility she was trying something new.

Now I had to decide if Amy had changed her lifestyle drastically and forgotten to tell any of our friends or if she was just a little technologically confused. After this, a bunch of things happened, all which involved the phrase "not that there's anything wrong with it". I consulted mutual friends, weighed the likelihood, and ultimately decided that it must just be a mistake, but how do you tell your friend that all the people who've looked at her Facebook now think she's come out of the closet?

Eventually someone broke the news to Amy, who was a fantastic sport and thought it was as funny as I did. She did call me just to let me know that no, she was not a new lesbian, she just didn't understand how the whole Facebook profile thing worked and thought she was saying she wanted to find people who liked shopping and nail salons. She then promptly switched her "interested in" to "men" which made me laugh even harder.

The point of this story is that I'm a little technologically slow at the whole blogging and posting pictures and videos thing, so you may see some weird things here while I try to figure it out, but bear with me.
