On Perfect Matches



this cracked me up.
i was...distracted at work while waiting for pictures to fix themselves...
so i did the perfect match thing.

i think its amusing.
but more importantly
i think that its a straaange ...
expression of our society.

I know that these little applications
are created for the sake of fun and enjoyment...
to get a laugh out of.
But what is it that makes us do them.
Why are we So interested in what it has to say?
Not that we allow it to have any value...
we know who our best matches (and best friends) are
......(the ones who have seen your best
your worst
and everything in between...and they're still there)....
Really ...I have to wonder if it isn't
our general need to know that...we're compatible
with other people
even further - that we somehow fit in.
That our quirks and imperfections are...normal
As awful it is as your number 1 person...
who might be 98% ...is someone you dated 7 years ago
and who destroyed your life at the time......
wouldn't it feel worse to find that there's not a soul
out there on the wide-ass world of facebook
who you are more than...50% compatable with?
You're THAT much of a screw-ball weirdofreak that...that...

ah...maybe you're just not in any facebook groups.
Mostly i think its just for fun....
but it did make me think.
ooooh normalcy.


i'm hungry.

i think the interesting piece is that Facebbok considers the gender of "looking for" in figuring it out. What if you're a person who thinks your orientation is one way but really, it's not?! You could be missing out!

I think my top 10 creep me out, which is why i'm stumbling with this.

maybe i'll change it to say i'm straight and see what happens.
