taking our marriage to another level

[from an im conversation between me and my spouse]

wai-ling: i broke my rule about status updates
nothing mundane
"i am eating cereal right now"

minsoo: so what do you usully put?

wl:i almost died. i'm going to such and such place
i think we might need to become friends soon.

m: that will be awkward.

wl: why? too many messages from all your women?

m: facebook friends... with my wife???

wl: i know. it seems wrong.

m: how strange and new.

wl: it's like we'd be opening ourselves up to each other in a whole new way
takin' our relationship to a new level
revealing our "true" selves

m: I'm ready to go there with you. Facebook Friends.

wl: i don't know...

m: too soon?
sorry... am I going too fast?

wl: we've only known each other for 13 years.

m: no pressure.

wl: we've only been together for like 8.5
then again, most of the people on my facebook profile aren't even my friends.

m: we need to create our own private facebook

wl: what's the point?

m:to make each other laugh
and keep each other informed of other whereabouts.

wl: but then we have to manage yet another online profile
it's already too much managing multiple email addresses, social networking tools.

m: yes.

wl: frankly, i'm a little bit burnt out

m: I will tag you in my photos.

wl: it'll be like we actually go out in public together

i'll comment on your profile

i'll post embarrasing photos of you circa 1997
