Obnoxious Facebook Stati and Staying Home on New Years

gaynow's picture

So I'm staying home on New Years. Meh. Just chillin'. Honestly, I don't feel like hanging out with my college friends today, I'm a bit fed up with them. It's just one of those groups where my niche is that of verbal punching bag. I mean, I love them to death, but just... it gets ridiculous sometimes. And I feel a little lame for staying in, but honestly... I really wanted to. I'm gonna chill at home, maybe work, maybe do some music, maybe watch X-Men: Evolution (yes, I'm a dork).

I just changed my facebook status to "is interested in: people. Fuck the binary." Because I still identify as lesbian, mostly... It's complicated. I'm attracted to both men and women in varying degrees so that it makes it difficult for me to actually label myself and it's really hard to express in Interested In, where there are only two damn checkboxes. Last year (or was it the year before that?) I came out on FB on New Years. So in that tradition... yeah. I've hidden my Interested In because it just seems to unspecific. I may get an SGO one of these days. But, yeah. Well I got a comment from a douchebag guy at my school, saying "YOU ARE SO PROGRESSIVE." Wow. Um. Okay, WHAT? Asshole! Christ. I mean, I get how my status could come out as a little overdramatic/attention-hungry, but... really? So currently, my status reads "is interested in: people, not checkboxes," which I think gives off less of the attention-hungry vibe, but... jesus christ, mr. douchbag. What do people think? Ought I to respond? Bitchslap him? Ignore it?
