It’s hard to stay focused when I’m so co-dependent

Posted under Being RSG, Blogging, Higher Learning by Recovering Straight Girl

The ladies at Back Fence PDX were nice enough to ask me to write a post for them. I did. It’s here.

The Portland Mercury comes out tomorrow. Pick up a copy, I may have something in there.

Today my friend Jeff and his most beautiful baby in the whole entire world took me out for lunch. I had Indian food, (like Indian-Indian, not Native American-Indian.) I never had it before, I had no idea what I was eating, but it was very, very good.

I’m doing mad amounts of homework and writing my final research paper on “The Lack of Marriage Equality and its Effect on Children in Oregon” (it’s a long-ass name, I know,) but I can’t stay focused because I am obsessed with my Twitter and my Facebook.

I could possibly be co-dependent on Twitter and Facebook–or maybe Twitter and Facebook are enabling me to not concentrate on my homework. I’ll have to work that out in therapy–after my school term is over.

Oh look at that–someone wants to be my Facebook friend!

  1. Valerie Said,

    I have refused to open a Twitter account because I know that that would just not be good for me. Not good at all.

    But I am addicted to Facebook. I tried to friend you, but I couldn’t find you based on name or the emails I have. So sad.

    Your paper sounds interesting — I hope it goes well!

  2. Heather Said,

    I wanna be your Facebook friend! But I couldn’t find you either.

  3. poet Said,

    I have a few bloggers now on my FACEBOOK as friends. May I be your Friend?

  4. melissa lion Said,

    What is facebook? What is it???

  5. Lelo Said,

    Your story at Back Fence is lovely. I love that you wrote about being loved. And love as an infant. Look at you all fancy being asked to write for them.

    I think you need to use your axe photo as your avatar on Facebook.

    Oh, and I don’t think I understand the difference between co-dependent and enabling. I just prefer Frakey.

  6. PainterWoman Said,

    Bravo to you for your public persona and presence. (But be sure to check with the Apostrophe Police before you commit to your research paper title, OK? ;-p )

  7. Recovering Straight Girl Said,

    PW: Thanks! That was me just typing fast and not paying attention. I have it correct on my actual paper and now it’s fixed here!

  8. Tracey Said,

    Well, I didn’t have any trouble finding you. :)

  9. LD Said,

    Beautiful story at Back Fence. Thank you for sharing.

    I’d be interested to read your research paper as well. Any chance of you posting that? :)

    College = Social Networking Addiction

  11. SassyFemme Said,

    What a lovely story at Back Fence!

  12. iburyem Said,

    Nice story! I’ve never been to facebook. I’m addicted to Myspace, though. I think it’s just as evil. :)

  13. melissa lion Said,

    My comments keep getting spammed because I am a nomadic wifi wanderer. But seriously what the hell is Face Book, I don’t get it.

  14. Tracey Said,

    Dear Melissa,
    Face Book is like Seinfeld…basically it is about nothing.
    Sincerely,
    Me.
