Oooo – They have such a wonderful life, those Wotsernames. Just look at Matilda Wotsername’s Facebook entries. She has, just look, 1,340 friends, and I only have thirty-two. Here is a set of photos at their friend’s birthday party! Look how happy they are… And they have such flash friends.
We are such an ordinary humdrum family, stay-at-home and sober. I cannot remember when we last threw the sort of parties that the Wotsernames frequent. Oh how I wish a million people would invite me to be their “friend.”
In today’s times of social pages, it would appear that so many people have lost touch with reality and are forced into spending a substantial portion of their lives keeping “in touch” with all their “friends” and having to photograph and comment on some of the most mundane events simply to remain “on the map.”
We went for a meal at a local restaurant and enjoyed a quiet evening of relaxation out of the home environment, and the rest of the world is completely unaware of it. On the other hand, look here: As I write, Matilda Wotsername has posted a photo of her, her hubby and six of her pals eating out. Look at their scrummy meals. Wait a mo… If I translate her post, it turns out that the Wosternames and pals are eating burgers at the local burger-house.
Translating some of the numbers, at 1300 friends, if Matilda should allocate a measly five minutes attention for each friend in a week, 1300 x 5 minutes = 6,500 minutes… that’s from 7:00 in the morning until 10:28pm in the evening flat out each and every day of the week! – no time for real living, at that rate, not even time to go to the bathroom, unless she looks at your stuff whilst seated on the throne?
I need to end this post, as I can see a whole stack of messages piling up on my messenger service. I daren’t ignore many of the most important ones, else what will people think of me?
