i 86'ed facebook.

yesterday i gave good ole facebook a swift kick in the ass. it wasn't easy, my friends, it wasn't easy. *tear* (okay, maybe it was.. i only "deactivated" it,  which means i could bring it back in it's entirety at any minute.. ooooo, the temptation!) but, my hope is that i will realize how freeing it feels to not have that to check periodically throughout the day— checking in to see what's new with all these people i could care less about. why on earth do we waste so much time doing that shit? because i know for a fact that i wasn't the only one. and then i used to wonder why i insisted on sharing my life in so much detail with those who do not care about me, but rather, are plain nosey. why should i let them see photos of what i did last weekend? or see who my new boyfriend is.. (OMG! they broke up and she already has a new boyfriend!? no way!) or read what my sister has to say to me on my wall about the concert we must go to on my birthday. suddenly, everyone and their brother knows that i am attending jason mraz on this date, at this place. i mean, really?

it's crazy how addicting social networking is. cory asked me the other day if i would consider myself a "facebook addict". and you know what, i said yes. i was (am?). holy crap. but you know, really, in facebook's defense, it is nice to be able to easily contact someone you wouldn't normally call or easily find someone because you don't have any of their contact information. facebook can work wonders when it comes to that. and i'm not gonna lie, it is freaking awesome looking at everyone's pictures. i love that! (yeah, i'm nosey too, people, get over it) and delving into other people's business, who wrote what on her wall and she wrote this back. NO WAY!! Holy drama-gossip city. i certainly know i've been upset about someone else's "status" update assuming it was directed towards me. that bitch!

facebook is taking over. plain and simple. it's as addicting as heroine. and people cannot stop. even old people have facebook. my apologies to any "old people", but i don't really feel like being "facebook friends" with my boyfriend's mom or my mom, for that matter! Please. (sorry mom, i still love you!)

we should all just have blogs because blogs are cool.
