All right. At some point I am sure you are going to reveal yourself as some sort of writing celebrity that has been toying with me. I don’t know anyone in my circle of friends who could write this witty disertation. Of my limited reading in general, maybe 1-1000 would be whip-smart enough to come up with this. So, go ahead, you are getting ready to make a fool of me. Make your move so I can go back to my simple world and you will be getting some kind of award.

I love “Fake Facebook friends” and “Fake real friends”. Patent that. Brilliant. It’s so, like, today’s world….
