Facebook- Gina-Post

In July of 2008 I filed for a divorce after 18 years of marriage. I would like to say that my life began to change then, but it actually started to change in October of 2008, when I had a total knee replacement, and was confined to my home for what was supposed to be five to six weeks (ha, me confined, that lasted about two and a half weeks) of recovery. I had a Facebook account that my sister set up for me in March of 2008. I never used it, never even logged on, until that October.

I was home for my second day of a long recovery, sitting in my living room chair, high as a kite on pain meds, all alone, because when you file for divorce, then have major surgery, your husband doesn’t really want to take care of you, and I didn’t dare ask for fear of being poisoned. SO, I was alone watching horrific morning shows on the television when I decided I could probably navigate around the Internet. I turned on my laptop, and saw the Facebook logo thingy. I decided to log on and check this shit out.

Up until October, I was a technotard with a bad knee and had NO experience with the Internet social scene. I basically went online to shop and check out my account balances (contrary to popular belief, I am not a frequent visitor of the porn sites) I looked around and somehow found Casey Oar, Stephanie Dickson and then Valerie Irons, gals I had gone to school with. I sent them a friend request and they accepted. Val Irons was my first real friend on here. She kept me company sometimes while I sat at home eating BonBons, wrapping my knee in ice and popping heavy pain meds. I then friend requested Phil Sabbato. See, I had a huge crush on him in middle school, and he never even knew it. (Sorry Phil, free speech).

I started getting requests from people I hadn’t seen in forever, and was now addicted. I will never forget the first time I friend requested someone and kept checking to see if they accepted, my palms would be all sweaty, my heart would be racing, I would wonder if I had made a huge mistake…just kidding. ! I remember being defriended my first time, my friend “baby man” left, no explanation, just up and defriended me. I was heart broken and felt a great sense of loss. He was my hook up at drunk pottery and I still miss him.

Over the next year, tons of shit changed in my life, and Facebook was always there to make me smile, make me laugh uncontrollably, make me feel dirty, make me feel like an ass, or to just make me feel connected. I have made new friends, gotten to know old friends, friended a puppet by the name of Reverend Leroy Johnson and have a wonderful friend in New Zealand, whose name is Monty. I have reconnected with people I didn’t think I would see again, a few I didn’t WANT to see again, and I have made a few very close friends that I cherish and value their friendship. Hootie, and my Ninja bitches and bitch, I love you!

I have come to know a new language over the past year. Words that I have made up, some, my friends have made up, some come from god knows where, and some my friend Joe McCabe is known to use quite often. Just to make a point of how much I have changed and my life has changed, here is a list I have compiled. It is a list of words that I could have never imagined being a part of my vocabulary It is our own special language, used in our lil facebook community, by myself and many of my very sick and disturbed friends. I hope you enjoy my list, cuz it makes me laugh like hell. I love to read it to my personal assistant at work,. She just walks away, shaking her head. So here ya go……
