And it's true; sometimes you don't want people to know what your status is, Facebook or not, whether you're trying to change it or not.

Sometimes it's nice to have the shield of another, though in this case it's never made a difference. There are always eyes following me, trying to meet mine; there are always compliments said, just a little too loudly to ensure they reach my ears; there are always invitations to join in, even if I'm the only other guest. And awkward as situations can get to be, how do you say "no" to a question that's never been asked of you?
