Ok, I shouldn't say that, but I kinda hate Facebook right now. And more, I hate my friends' curiosity about me.
The more I stay away from people. The more people "stalk" me.
Day by day I was getting proud of my fake-name in there and the fact that I could judge who add and who not add just by searching for him/her and click on the "friendship" button.
Until today.
Well, my due premise is a self criticism, since Cristian, was fool enough to put his real picture on this account. So, surprise! surprise! a friend of mine, curious enough to take a look into another friend's list, found me and "oh, why not adding him?"
I didn't add him back.
I didn't see my friends very much in the last months and, even if I always get the same question from them "where have you been?" I try to accurately dodge it.
Not just a matter of staying away from people. This is a matter of feeling good with people. And I feel, at the moment, I feel more comfortable with my colleagues (the ones close to my age of course) than my friends. Not that I changed my mind suddenly and started avoiding them. Things were somehow helped by the fact that some of them got married or engaged and, obviously, took some time for themselves and their girls.
Another thing is the chaining of many social networks that could let you know a person through all his accounts he has on the net.
I'm thinking at my blog's link on my FB account. My friends doesn't know about this blog and that would be really hateful if they discover it. Not that I write anything bad about them, but that's MY place, the corner where I like to shout when I'm angry, or happy, or sad or whatever I am in my bloody life.
Looks like a big coincidence, but I'm feeling surrounded by people and this circle around me is getting smaller and smaller.
I'm not going nuts just because a friend found my not-so-secret FB account. I'll tell him I don't use it very much and
soon I'm going to create a new one with my real name (don't believe me).
So, as soon as I could, I crawled into my profile and removed my link to xanga. I was way too silly and allowed too much people to break into my privacy.
Anyway, today I finally got some other pic from the gig. Nothing really different from the previous one I posted, but..why don't show you?

Yeah, I have a need to separate the two as well.
Except, my facebook is not fake. Much less problems.
Yours sounds complicated as hell.
have a good day!
@philosophicthoughts - I think I'm the first one who complicates things...just a matter or mere privacy and, when you're surrounded by people who doesn't know what privacy is..becomes necessary to become a bit "secret" and hide things... :D
i keep the two separate, but some of my fb friends still read it [shrug]
you take the good with the bad. my friends know what to take seriously and what not to....or they should...if they don't, oh well. :D
@BranmacFeabhail - well..mine are just curious...I'm kind of private person on real life and never tell my "big" plans...just a bit here, a bit there...then, considering that my friends usually don't tell me what they are doing or the plans they have, why should I warn them about mine? :)
ora mi metto a cercare il tuo account di facebook....sono curioso ufi
@stevemcfalz - account che (forse) ha le ore contate...grazie a Felice...meno male che non sa del blog...mi scoccerebbe avere troppa attenzione addosso...
i know that feeling. I'm trying to keep people in MI from finding my blog too. specifically my church-folk. its a place for me to be me and keep family and friends back home up on what's going on.
there's a few people who have added me on fb that i've ignored or just left alone and used the "i never check my invites" excuse.
@smiling_spunk - yesterday night I met the guy who added me and I very easily convinced him that I don't use my FB very much and told him your same "I never check the invites" excuse. It seems he believed me.
Anyway, my FB is not that important, since I don't do anything relevant on there...this blog is the most important thing and, by now, they didn't find it...
It's funny how I am very open on FB, but not so on Xanga (in terms of photos and certain details). Different from you! LOL.
Btw, great photos again!
@bella_esperanza - well...to me..xanga was born as some kind of "self therapy", while FB was just mere "fashion"...
