in your face(book)

So what do pedophiles and high schoolers have in common? Why, obsession with social networking sites, of course. And now you can throw me in the mix as well. Well, don't count me as obsessed (yet), but do count me as a member, if you must.

A certain part of me feels defeated, seeing as how I resisted for a good long while. However, that part of me seems to have succumbed to the part that hopes someone has left a new message on my wall.

Deaths
T.M.'s dignity. Having held out against Harry Potter, celebrity cooking shows, and dog sweaters, the dignity of T.M. finally succumbed to fate. It leaves behind one wife, one pug, and the withered shell of a law student. The family asks that in lieu of flowers, friend requests be placed in his inbox.


P.S. My apologies to the HP fans out there, for I know you are legion. Please don't cast a spell on me.

Does the death of your dignity imply that the pug now is the proud owner of a sweater? 'Cause I really hope that it does.

Yes. And a jacket, both from Old Navy. Both were given as gifts, however, and my dignity stated in its will that neither are to be worn outside the condo.

On another note, I searched for your page after joining facebook so I could read your blog, and was unsuccessful. Turqois tells me you're only on myspace -- is the rumor true?

Now that your dignity has completely died, perhaps it is time to start on Harry Potter.

The rumor is true, but as soon as I work up the nerve, I'll join facebook.

Maybe I'll get an old copy of War and Peace, slip its cover onto a Harry Potter book, and see how it goes. Then again, the two might cancel each other out and create some sort of a black hole or something, which I'd hate to be responsible for.

For which I'd hate to be responsible?

Sometimes proper prepositional placement is something up with which I cannot put.

And by "Yeah, I'm with TM" I meant "GSN." Huh.

Not ending sentences with a preposition is an archaic, silly rule. There. You now have a grammarian's opinion up with which you are backed.
