Trouble was possibly brewing in the world of young love before Christmas, when Selena Gomez sent this vague tweet.
Yep! As we all know, the Destiny’s Child masterpiece that is “Say My Name” is all about a shady boyfriend who’s acting suspicious. What we don’t know is whether Selena was trying to say something about her own possibly troubled relationship with Justin Bieber.
Yep could have meant many things. Like, “Yep, it’s time for a Destiny’s Child reunion” or “Yep, I was like 7 when this song came out” (Selena, not me, and now I feel old) or just “Yep, Beyonce for President.” But in the wake of rumors that there are some trust issues between the Biebs and his lady, it at least seems designed to raise some eyebrows.
Whatever the true nature of that tweet, it brings me to the topic of the vague, suggestive and occasionally passive aggressive tweet (or Facebook status) generally. We all know people who constantly do this, right? They post a wistful song lyric or quote about a broken heart, and then just sit back and wait for the chorus of "Uh oh, what's wrong hun?" and "Oh no, what happened?" comments to roll in. It kind of drives me crazy at this point--I mean, I'm 30 and so are most of my friends so I'm like, if you need some attention can you just call me and tell me what happened instead of making your Aunt Sue and that girl you went to camp with in the sixth grade all wonder what happened between you and that guy you hooked up with a few times that never called you again? Because it's weird and it should be added to the list of 10 things you should never tweet about.
But I'll admit that if the Internet had reached its current potential back when I was 20, there would be an embarrassing record of AIM away messages with John Mayer lyrics directed at sort of boyfriends under my screen name, and I am embarrassed just thinking about it. Twitter, I love you, but I'm so glad you weren't around when I was younger and decidedly not wiser.
