How The Internet Has Replaced My Social Life...
Friday, April 17, 2009


3 years ago I was the very definition of a socialite... As a 23 year old college student, I was often found club hopping in the streets of Atlanta or posing for pics in the VIP section of your favorite event. After moving to Texas, of course, my social life slowed down. I didn't know anyone in Dallas initially, but I soon made some friends and everything was back to normal (kinda).... I enrolled in my final semesters of school, joined Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. and prepared to launch head first into my career by accepting a seemingly lucrative position at a growing event management company... Everything was perfect, or so it seemed...

Less than 2 months after finishing school and being fired from my "lucrative" job, I knew I was pregnant... I didn't get it confirmed until 2 months after that, but I knew well before it was confirmed. Although it was un-planned and I was unemployed, I was very excited and looked forward to becoming a mom... I had a very easy pregnancy, but needless to say, I had to give up my old ways of hanging out and partying... My lack of funds also made it pretty difficult to do anything... As a result, all the new "friends" I had fell out of touch and I was pretty much in the same position as before... No friends in Dallas... And this continues today... As a new mom, I really don't have any interest in partying anymore, but who doesn't enjoy a break and some time out with their peeps? All my peeps are in the A tho. So now when I want a break what do I do? I visit some of my favorite mom sites, or myspace, or facebook or... you get it... Hey, and least I can have virtual "friends" and an online social life...

Hey Ms. Tesi! Thanks for the comment! I'll be following you as well... you know, as a fellow "virtual friend". ;)

Virtual friends are just as fun as, well, real ones, for the lack of a better term. No we can't come hang out with you, but we can be fun to chat with!!!
