Reason #127 I need to be committed into white padded rooms:

Sometime last year, I stalked this guy's facebook because I thought he seemed cool.  (barely knew eachother, friend of a friend kind of thing.) I saw he had a girlfriend, and I clicked on her page because she had an interesting profile pic.  She seemed to have a sense of humor kin to mine, and a blogspot blog, so I checked it out and was hooked immediately.  Since then, I follow her blog every couple weeks and her writing is always genuine, inspiring, and fun in a way that I'd like to write someday.  They just seem like such a quirky, cool couple... going strong for about a year and a half.

I hadn't checked on her blog for some months.  Then today, I noticed that his profile no longer has a "in a relationship with" status... and I freaked out.  I looked through his wall history to make sure they were still together and that they had just chosen to omit a relationship status declaration.

(Now, I know you're all on the edge of your seats, so I'll just tell you that I'm fairly certain they are still together.)

I actually went through emotions of panic, targetless anger, and sympathy for a couple I have barely even formally met and who would not know who I was if I walked up to them and said hello.


Who does that?  Maybe I need to watch more tv or something.
