Isn't it ironic?

"Unfriend" is announced as the Oxford New American Dictionary's word of the year on the same morning I wake up to find a comment in my journal and a "You've been friended!" message from someone who has not yet introduced herself, hint, hint, hint.

I prefer the more up-scale term "disenfriended".

"Friended" and "Unfriend" make my back teeth ache. I guess I am just too old fashioned.

Hi there. I was Ysabeau du Lioncourte and now have a different SCA name. I was one of Gaius' girl companions while he was in So Cal. I begged him to move in with us rather than taking the gig in the Bay Area. He spoke of you often and affectionately. I have followed several of your projects since. Nice to meet you!
