News Flash…
Just in case anyone else was wondering, my disconnection from Facebook has not been prompted by any of you 
I decided to drop it after several years of going back and forth about whether or not it was something I really needed/wanted. I think its been a drag on little bits and corners of time that I have many other ways that I should be spending in far more beneficial ways. Moreover, I told myself a long time ago I wanted to trash it after graduating, since, no judgement offered on anyone who has it now, it seemed (to me) like a very highschool/college student kinda fad. And as mature as I am (*cough*) I decided I didn’t want it around afterwards. And why not start now? So I ditched it for all those reasons, and I tried to do it quickly to avoid wrestling with it in my head more than would be good for me.
And let me tell you its been a huge relief. Its cleared up a lot more time than I would have thought! Its been weird not having my trusty old friend facebook along each day so far, and its been an adjustment to try to place the time once invested there in something worthwhile. But it feels really good to know its gone. I dunno why exactly, but I’m happy to now have time to actually be forced to use my time at least a little more wisely. Maybe, maybe you can expect to see me more on here now though… I might not count on it though
So long live Facebookers, just without me. Peace all!
in a decision quite opposite of yours
, i decided in 2009 to spend much more time on facebook so that i could interact with people that i do not have the opportunity to talk with on a regular basis. i have been messaging old friends and catching up with people that i would not have been able to contact outside of facebook. so, i decided that i would actually begin using it as the social network i supose it was originally designed to be. plus, for me, “much more time on facebook” still only amounts to something like 10 minutes a day.
