bye-bye Facebook.

[shesapirate]

So I have removed my Facebook account as to avoid it taking over my life. I found myself needlessly obsessing over the lives of people I don't particularly care about anymore, or possibly ever did. I managed to never get to the Facebook mobile level, which I am rather proud of, but I still checked it with the same regularity as e-mail, if not more

I know what you mean. I deleted about 80 people form my facebook just recently, who I never ever talked to. Some of them I'd run into in person and they wouldn't even have conversations with me. Why do I need to know what they are up to or for them to see my stuff? So I know just what you mean. Some people have tried to add me back, but honestly? It's not like I'm a piece of a collector's figure set and that if I'm not on your list, your high school set will be incomplete.

So yeah, know what you mean. ;)

Good for you! I've gotten un-addicted, I check LJ and my email way more frequently than facebook. I mainly use it to share photos and keep in touch with some work people. :P I dunno if I could give it up cold-turkey just yet, though, :P

I totally understand how it especially helps when you are travelling, don't worry. I don't think I could have given it up while away.

Good for you. You don't really appreciate how much FB affects your life until you stop. Not using it for one month really helped me; ever since I've mostly used it for communicating with certain people who prefer FB messages to e-mails.
