Whining

I guess when a friend gets married and doesn't even bother to tell you, they're really not much of a friend anymore, huh.

Well, fuck them. I hope they live happily ever after and all but I'm pissed off. Yes, I'm just that petty.

I'm sure it's my fault because I don't check my Facebook very often. Well hey, not everyone checks my LJ that often pretend I still post all the time okay but if something big happens and I want that person to know, I tell them. You know? Shit.

Do people not use the phone anymore? Rude.

I'm not one to complain about THAT, so much, because I'm not a phone person, but we've texted a few times in the past few weeks since this happened and he didn't say a word even there. I guess I'm not important enough to be told.

I should be a bigger person than that but... I'm not.

I'm not a phone either, but if a friend gets married, I want them to call me.

And he totally should have said so in the texts.

I'd be pissed too.

...Things like that, to me, deserve a)a phone call, b)an IM, c)a text, d)a mass text, e)an e-mail or f)a letter/card. Especially if they're a close friend but don't see you all that often and/or know that you don't check FaceBook, LiveJournal, Twitter, etc all that often.

So, yes, on your side! :D

Agreed. I shouldn't hear something from my brother (who checks his Twitter less often than I check mine) who sees a reference to a "wife"... which we then decided was merely a term of endearment, not a "oh hey they got married" indicator.

But it did make me go look on Facebook and find a post where it was announced and it wasn't just a joke.

Grrrrrrrrrr.

Wow. Finding out inadvertently from your brother? That's just ridiculous. I can understand if it was like 'tell your sister because I don't have time to tell everyone ohmygosh so busy!' (and they are sincerely busy) which is kind of how I find out all the important info in my family because it's easier than saying something to three different people separately haha

*hugs*

I think that's fine for some stuff. Although I sincerely doubt he's "too busy." He just doesn't give a shit.

Well, soon I won't either!

Ah yeah, don't know how much he twitters but he probably isn't if he does a lot of that XD

Well, that totally sucks!!! It's extremely rude, especially if you've texted just recently!!!

Yeah! WTF, KITTY!!!

Please, Schnookums, do tell me if you run off and get married!

Your orange kitty icon is completely adorable!!

Trust me, Schnookums, I have no intentions of running off and getting married. If you ever hear that I have, I can be found in the nearest mental hospital suffering from insanity!

LOL the same can be said for myself! So we have an understanding, then <3

Yeah, this isn't whining. This is a legitimate concern. I realize we live in a digital age, but marriage? You actually fucking call/send a card or even just text for something like that. You can't expect people to find out these things on Facebook/Twitter. I mean, hell, did you send out all your invitations on Facebook? I sincerely doubt it.

Yeah, I'd be very pissed off, too. I don't fault you that in the least.

Thank you ♥ It was apparently a very sudden thing, but it was several weeks ago, so there's been plenty of time to tell me. Especially since we've texted a few times since then! It might be something one would fucking MENTION! I guess me stumbling across it secondhand is an acceptable way to find out. *snort*

A middle finger in lieu of present is perfectly acceptable.

Haha! Yeah, give what you get.

Agreed. Wall posts are fine and dandy for stupid shit which is why I generally don't like Facebook, BECAUSE THERE'S SO MUCH CRAP, and I think announcing "hey I got married" on there is a fine way to tell the world at large. But when you know someone doesn't use that medium on a regular basis, you tell them, if you care. And I've also seen other LJ friends of mine complain about finding out something important on Facebook that they wish their friend/relative would have told them about personally. It's an icky "you're no better than the rest of these shmucks I barely know" feeling.

Yes, that's seriously irritating. Don't people communicate other than facebook these days? I would say you have a legitimate reason to feel slighted. I'm not on facebook myself and it disturbs me that important news from friends is dished out with no regard to those who don't use the site, who are reduced to word of mouth. I've never had something as extreme as what you describe happen but I have frequently not been invited to birthday celebrations.

From: [identity profile] lumy12.livejournal.com
I'm kind of tempted to delete mine too, except I do like the idea of "collecting" people on there, so I can know they're alive and can check in on them every so often if I wish. And I was pleasantly surprised by all the birthday wishes I received on there, given that I don't do the whole birthday-wishing thing myself and barely comment on anyone's updates.

That sucks that your friends don't invite you to things simply because it's too much bother to do a non-Facebook invitation. People are so fucking lazy!

That is...odd that this person didn't tell you they were getting married. It seems you're not as close as you thought you were. *hugs*

From: [identity profile] lumy12.livejournal.com
*hugs back* Yeah, it's a reality check. I wonder if it's just me or if it's his other Tatooine friends too. Because I know when I saw them over the holidays they were pretty frustrated with not being able to talk to him anymore.

Fuck 'em all!

You guys ARE indeed awesome :D which is why I can't fathom ever leaving LJ. Why do people do that? Sillies.

Yep, Aaron the Great. He's now Mrs. Aaron. Woohoo. I wonder if he'll ever get around to telling me, or if he doesn't want me to know for some reason. It certainly feels like a "fuck you" that he didn't bother to tell me. I guess he figures I'll eventually notice on Facebook and that's that.

Fuck Facebook -- Aaron got on there with an actual fake name (he doesn't use his real name for ANYTHING), why can't you get on there? I haven't seen that movie yet but I should.

...why did LJ post my comment twice? Sheesh. It always gives me grief in the morning. It must be a night owl. Sometimes I don't even bother in the morning cuz it pisses me off too much.

It's not a marriage of convenience :P except maybe if she's pregnant. I wouldn't know, he obviously doesn't tell me such things anymore, now, does he!

Maybe I'll confront him about it at some point but I'm too pissed off now. I'd rather not give a shit by the time it comes up, because he's now in that category of persons I don't want to expect anything from or give any power over me to. If that makes any sense. I suppose the mature thing would be to call him but he'd probably just charm me into not being pissed off somehow, and I'd rather be pissed off, thank you!

His last name is VERY obviously fake on there. But he's been on it a long time, maybe they weren't all that strict about it at first? I don't know why they care so much. I bet your stripper name would work! Hehe, I remember that thing... a little... discounting New Jersey because I don't remember what street I lived on as a baby, I'd be Midnight Bonnie Rose. Not bad, a little country-sounding, though!

My LJ friends are allowed to "tell me" things by posting it in their LJs, cuz I'm pretty sure I don't miss much here. I may get a little behind at times but I go back and catch up. Can't really do that with Facebook and Twitter because there's just way too much (and it's mostly crap). Aaron hasn't posted in his LJ since 2009. I don't expect him to know things about me on here, so I really don't think he expects ME to know things about him from Facebook.

Facebook is evil! Don't join!

Oh, no... I understand this feeling quite well, and don't think it's petty at all. It just goes to show where you stand with them. I say fuck 'em!

I've encountered this with my old group of RL friends on FB, and we used to be pretty tight. One was even my best friend of many years. I'm feel like I'm just a number on their f-list now.

Date: 2011-03-31 11:55 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] lumy12.livejournal.com
Fuck 'em indeed! Fuck your so-called friends too!

I have some jealousy issues at times when it comes to online friendships... and it's just too damn easy on FB to see who comments to whom (I hate that!) even if you're not trying to. I have to wonder if some of the other RL people who are "liking" his marriage or leaving comments were told personally beforehand because they matter to him, or they're just on FB all the time so they know right away? Does he not WANT me to know for some reason?

Yeah, that seems pretty dismissive of you to me, if it was someone you're still in regular contact with.
Even if he didn't have the chance to tell you in person, he could have sent you a personal message, right?
I think you should feel pissed off.

Fairly regular, but not nearly as often as a couple years ago. It's been a slow drift, now nicely capped off with a "fuck you." Lovely. And I'm still just as pissed a day later. I've been stewing about it all day!

So...running off to get married without telling you is a bad thing. Gotcha.

...Not that I would ever use Facebook to tell people. Who does that? That's almost as ridiculous as using Twitter to send important memos.

You're allowed, you just have to eventually tell us in your LJ :P I would suggest you tell your close friends personally first!

So have you fulfilled your once-a-week quota yet this week? Who enforces that? Do you have to turn in a print-out of your tweets? Ha!

Please, I would e-mail you and Deb if I do run off to get married. I have your e-mail addresses after all.

The secretary reads our tweets. Just another example of government enforced rules using your tax paying dollars.

Maybe they're just trying to scare you into THINKING they read your tweets but really they can't be bothered? So what do you say? "Just finished grading another test. Gosh I just love my job!"

More along the lines of "who was this person's second grade teacher?"
