Sometimes I look at the people Facebook suggests as my friends. John Q. Smith. I wonder how I apparently was the only person in my class or apartment complex who didn't know John Q. Smith. I have 48 friends in common with him and I've never even heard anybody talk about him.
At first I worried it must be because I'm antisocial. But then I decided the blame rests equally on my shoulders and the shoulders of John Q. Smith. I hope it bothers him as much as it bothers me. I hope he sees "Rachel Bohman Reddoch 48 friends in common" and wonders how he missed meeting me, or hearing my name at any point.
