There are several key ways to tell harmless bloggers from cewebrities. Here are a few questions you should ask yourself before you become seriously gay concerned that you've lost a friend to the dark side:

Are you gay in san antonio texas?

Does your friend have a tendency to think that if something is true for him, then it must be true for everyone?

Example: Your friend comments that Track 7 of their favorite CD has always skipped. He is thinking of writing a letter to the record label to tell them that Track 7 skips because if it skips for him, then it MUST skip for everyone; it can't possibly be limited to his CD or his stereo.

Does your friend have a gay tendency to think that what she experiences, no one else in the entire world has possibly ever experienced?

Example: Your friend has recently broken up with her ex. When she comes to you to seek solace about the break up and you say, "I know this must be really hard for you. Break ups are the worst," the friend responds with, "No, but this was harder for me than it has ever been for you because I really loved him, you can't possibly understand how our love was so special." Yes, that's right. No one in the world but you has ever been in love. I bet you're the only person who has ever lost a loved one, too. You know how rare love and death are.

If both of the above are true of your friend, your friend may be in real danger. 90% of cewebrities are guilty of this type of mindset, as are 90% of 17-year-olds. You might want to casually ask your friend if he has a Livejournal.

Moving on:

So now you know that your friend has some sort of online presence, whether he refers to it as an online journal or website or blog, and let's assume that your friend updates said site semi-daily, at least a few times a week. At this point, there isn't much to worry about. It is healthy to express yourself! And, let's be honest, isn't it fun to check their blog some days and see that you were mentioned? Sure it is!

But there is a chance that your friend may be sliding down a slippery slope into cewebrity. Look for these warning signs:

• He starts referring to some of his friends by their online names and/or he distinguishes between his IRL friends and his online friends.
• She begins attending parties populated solely by other bloggers. If you make the mistake of asking if you can come along, she gets really nervous and tells you that you would probably not be comfortable with these people.
• He begins talking about drama and gossip that is happening in the blogger scene as if the people involved are movie stars, rock stars, or, even worse, friends of yours. After a while, you don't even ask, "Do I know him?" because you don't, and he doesn't care if you do, you are expected to be appropriately intrigued regardless.
• She really wants to move to Williamsburg. God bless you for asking if she means colonial Williamsburg the first time she brings it up.

The points of no return (in other words: If he is doing this, he is fucked, go look for a new friend):

• He already lives in Williamsburg.
• She has dedicated a blog entry to her opinions about either a) snark or b) blog etiquette.
• When a famous publication writes an article or does a satire that is similar to an entry of a blogger friend of his, he actually thinks there is a chance that said publication ripped off his blogger friend.
• She takes notes during movies so she can review the movie on her blog. (related: He keeps track of setlists so he can post it to the appropriate Livejournal later.)

Good luck.
