or Bastia, she would not think twice and choose Bastia. Chi lo sa? Angélica Beckett decided to make her debut on Facebook on 26 August 2015. She did it in private. In other words: in silence. It‘s fair to say Angélica had no „friends“. She doesn‘t have any now. But the important thing now is that, back then, when she uploaded her first image (with no words), she had no male or female friends.

monoperro-AB-22 Angélica Beckett was born on 13 July 1990. At least that‘s what it says on Facebook. But on Facebook she was born in September 2014. She doesn‘t remember the date exactly. Angélica Beckett‘s name is not Angélica Beckett. But that‘s the name she goes by. She feels that‘s the name of her digital being. Her analogic being is an altogether different story. A very long story and social media is probably not the right place to hear about it. After all, Twitter does not allow more than 140 characters per message. But then again, they do say that Twitter is about to increase that limit to 10,000 characters. It makes no difference, in Angélica Beckett‘s opinion. Whatever the limit, nobody‘s going to read more than 140 characters. Twitter fans are accustomed to that number as a frontier. „It‘s as if the Twitter birdy‘s cage door (that little blue frame that is a like background to its silhouette) was opened and he was allowed to fly a thousand metres more. The furthest it would get would be the birdseed feeder“, adds Angélica Beckett. Angélica Beckett was advised not to lead an active life on Facebook. „It‘s so out“, she read in an Internet blog. It is possible that Angélica Beckett is attracted by things that are positively down and out. Maybe she prefers cities with a firm penchant for the derelict, like Valletta or Havana, to others like Barcelona or Berlin. Maybe. Maybe, if given a choice between mooring at Genoa
Angélica Beckett realised that her Facebook account was chaos, confusion and darkness over the abyss. And she said: „Let there be light“, and Angélica Beckett updated her cover photo with an image of Jes Win Andersen that she found on the Internet. And Angélica Beckett saw that it was good. She now had a beautiful, enticing cover photo. And such was her enthusiasm that on that very same afternoon, on 26 August, she decided to update her profile picture. And so it was: she posted a picture of the roof of her house on a leaden-grey sky. And Angélica Beckett saw that it was good. She even saw that Facebook congratulated her. And not only that: she was also invited to look for more friends. And she decided that it was time to make friends on Facebook, its raison d‘être. Angélica Beckett felt ready. And that‘s how she first saw a drawing by Monoperro at www.monoperro.com. And that, perhaps because Angélica Beckett prefers cities like Osaka or Oaxaca, which start with an „o“, to capitals like Paris or Prague, with that presumptuous „p“, is how Angélica Beckett came to be interested in becoming friends with Monoperro immediately. She quickly realised that Monoperro had his own little home on Facebook. And so, on a nice late-September afternoon, Angélica Beckett sent a friendship request to her future friend Monoperro.
