Facebook-Free

So today I hit the deactivate key. Aftewards I felt so liberated! I no longer have this ridiculous compulsion to see what that crazy chick from high school did last night or the need to know if the dorky guy from college's relationship status is now changed to "it's complicated."

Chris and I have both thrown the topic of a facebook-free lifestyle around.

I had the following 10 reasons:

10.) It consumes too much of my time.

9.) Facebook is an online popularity contest.

8.) All the kids are doing it... not just the cool kids

7.) People that I barely know want to be my "friend"

6.) I would rather not be stalked.

5.) Facebook is superficial.

4.) People say stuff online they would not say in person.

3.) I have other things to do with my life.

2.) It is not a health means of maintaining relationships

and drum roll for numero uno...

1.) Again, it consumes too much of my time.

In the midst of my celebration for my new facebook sobriety, Chris decided to jump on the bandwagon. And just so that I did not transfer one addiction to the next, I erased my myspace page too.

So friends, signing-off.
