Deborah knocks loudly on Blogosphere's door, box of chocolates in hand.
Door cracks open. "What do YOU want?"
"Come on, Blogosphere, at least be willing to hear my case. I know it's been awhile, but there were prelims, and then those two conferences I had to give papers at, while teaching all the while and taking a class..."
"You didn't seem to have a problem keeping up with Facebook. Clearly you're better friends with her anyway."
"Well, that's true," Deborah replies, angling to insert her toe into the door to display the chocolates. "I did keep up with Facebook during that time, but that doesn't mean you're not important, Blogosphere. I just got so busy..."
"Clearly. Too busy to spend time with me. And now you want to come crying back to me, asking to be friends again."
"Yes. Yes, I do. I'm saying I'm sorry, dang it, and I brought virtual chocolates."
Door opens a bit wider.
