Kicking the Addiction

Feb 17, 2010 09:24

I deactivated my Facebook account. The social aspect of it was getting, well, too social, and my level of activity was becoming a bad habit. I also realized I missed writing full sentences in the first person.

I WAS JUST thinking about you today! I thought "I wonder if we lost him to the dark-side of Facebook"...

PS...LOVE the SirWilliam likes this touch. :D

Yes, you lost me for a while. I realized I was refreshing every ten minutes or so at work, and I had a FB app on my phone as well!

oooh...you hit bottom, my friend...

Of course, it COULD have been MUCH worse--you could have been playing Farmville as well....

it's good to have you back. i've missed your frequent presence here.

...and for the record, i have not had any myspace withdrawal. i hope you don't suffer fb dt's.

I have had Shannon withdrawals. Since you entered grad school... where did she go???

shanonona February 17 2010, 17:38:19 UTC

yeah, i'm having similar thoughts.

i feel almost recluse-like except i have a reason why i can't leave the house....at least that's my excuse. ;)

I want to do that too. It will probably take me a few more months until it happens again. I noticed I almost stopped reading books in the past year. I have 3 or 4 I started and never finished. This weekend I picked up a new one and remembered how much I love reading... how much more I love reading than fucking around on my phone reading Facebook.

I like the ability to connect with people, but it just sucks you in. I may reactivate it in a few months when I've learned to limit my use. I'm not big on total abstinence.

Meanwhile... yes... books!

I took two weeks off. It was good.

maudelynn February 17 2010, 17:49:07 UTC

heheh, oh you will. i am about to post the dress I just bought to wear to the Oscars next month!!

I missed actually writing. I have been feeling so rusty that I am just recording everything that I do, so that I can get used to it again. I have been trying to write at least a few times a week to shake off the cobwebs.

Anyway, hello. :)
