Facebook Fast...

I banned myself from Facebook on Friday.

For a whole week. That's seven days, people. And I've made it five days so far!

I know that might not seem like much, but, considering the fact that I'm basically alone in Happy Valley, I haven't been able to find a job, and my siblings have more of a social life than I do--well, I spend a lot of time stalking people's profiles and browsing through all of their pictures. Like hours. And hours.

I got tired of it. Nay. Sick of it

Hence the fast. I did it once before. February 2008. My friend bet me I couldn't stay off FB for a whole week. He lost an Einstein's bagel and a Jamba Juice to me. 

They were delicious

So right now, I am blissfully unaware as to what is occurring on my FB feed:
  • I don't know what Disney Princess you are or if you are able to survive a zombie attack. 
  • I don't know what your status says. 
  • I have no idea whether or not you are in a relationship. 
  • I have no idea if I have new friends. And if I do, I don't know if you wrote on my wall. (You probably didn't. Shame on you.
  • I don't know if you got engaged in the last five days. (You probably did. Congratulations.)
  • Frankly, I don't care. 
It's kind of delightful. 

I've also been watching So You Think You Can Dance. Oh, that show is brilliant! I love it!

You should try it. (The fast and the show.)

I really need to do the Facebook fast. I think I've learned more about my personality in the last two weeks from all of those little tests than ever before. I'm developing a bit of a complex.

p.s. we should get together and watch that delightful movie that includes the cupid dance.

This is brilliant. I wonder if I could do it. Maybe if I took a week off of work too. Haha. I sit at a computer all day...and somehow the screen always ends up back on facebook. Like once an hour. It's a bit ridiculous. I need to work on it. SYTYCD is incredible. Missed last night's but we have DVR. Thank goodness.
P.S.-Mare is brilliant. We should all totally watch the movie. Hit us up girl-friend! haha jk. but really do it.

I once deleted my account for a whole month. But i rallied. The only time I cold ever leave Facebook for good will be when my mom tries to add me as a friend.
