Facebook Follies: Mistaken Identity

Filed under: Facebook Follies — Elle December 4, 2007 @ 11:19 pm

Received a Facebook friend request from a random guy today along with the detail request that we “hooked up in 2006.” Seeing as how this guy was not a Harvard student, not familiar-looking at all, and had no mutual friends with me, I was a bit confused.

I call bullshit. I was hardly a controversy until after the Crimson article came out first week of October. Also, who the hell adds detail information related to a random hookup? AWKWARD.

Thanks to this incident, I actually made a list of everyone I hooked up with or got close to hooking up with in September of last year. The latter list of “almosts” is REALLY long and is composed almost entirely of Mather guys (through no fault of my own). I guess in retrospect, housecest was pretty inevitable.

Uh, not that I needed to make a list to know that I didn’t know this person, much more made out with them. I was “seeing someone then” which basically meant talking to Summer Guy on a near-daily basis, getting into another guy, and generally being a cocktease (spending a ton of time with different people without any intention of letting the relationships evolve into anything beyond platonic). Basically, my lips were nowhere near Harvard Square.
