#Adventures of @DustyCPollyD: Relationship Status - In Love With Social Media!
#TalkNerdyToMeLover’s Polly Dixon
I moved to Los Angeles last year and in all honesty, last year could have been the worst year of my life. It was tough adjusting to life here. I’m a very social person and not being around people makes me depressed. And this town is full of fakes and flakes. People say one thing and do another. People make plans and then cancel or don’t show up. To some extent, it’s the same everywhere but here, it just seemed so much worse. I believe that if it hadn’t been for social media, I would be in a much different place than I am now…and maybe not even in Los Angeles, and certainly not writing for Talk Nerdy To Me, Lover.
In case you were bored and have nothing to do at work. This is a recap of my unimportant life, as told by Social Media.
Messaged Dusty Cooper on Facebook to rekindle our friendship and ask if I could stay on her couch. She said yes! Linked up with my now roommate through Facebook as a friend of a friend to check out if he was a decent human being. We are still roommates. Re-connected with a local boy who I had a fling with before I moved here. Got some lovin! Added every person I met on Facebook as my friend. Got to go to some fabulous parties. Met my next boy toy via Facebook, thanks to friends. We dated for several months. Started a Buds and Ham Sammies Facebook page. Recruited a ton of fans. Became a Focus Rally reality show contestant thanks to my numbers on Twitter and Facebook. Didn’t make it but had tons of fun recruiting friends. Networked with people for jobs through Facebook. Working on the job thing. Met Jen Friel through Twitter. In love – solid girl crush. Joined Meetup.com and went to some meetups. Have some new fabulous girlfriends. Cute Trainer admitted he couldn’t find me on Facebook. He’s stalking me – It’s true love. Met a girl at Barneys Beanery through FourSquare. We were sitting next to each other! She lives down the street! We are new besties. Boys. Boys. Boys. I love becoming friends with them on all levels of social media. Cannot go wrong there. Also. If peeps are not involved in social media…I’m usually not interested. Updated my Linked In account. Turns out, my past colleagues have very important contacts out here that are going to be so useful to me.
Um. That is all. For now. How do we even function in today’s society without Social Media?!? My love affair with social media does not end there. I have met some of my bestest, closest friends in town through social media. It’s really just the beginning and I’m so excited.
