For those of you that don’t know, I’m fasting Facebook, along with Youtube and Twitter. Only until Thanksgiving. And I know it doesn’t seem like a long period of time (I started last Monday), but I don’t think you realize how much of the world is connected to FB. I can’t say I’m WAY more productive with my time than before, but I am spending more time reading the word and (hopefully) developing a habit of it — the primary reason I even started this fast.
Anyways, without further ado, 5 reasons why fasting FB is hard:
1. Virtually every company utilizes FB. I can’t escape it! You don’t know how many times I’ve read… “Read more on our facebook page!” &^%$#$% I can’t do anything without being lead to facebook fan pages these days.
2. Expressing myself. Maybe I’m just deprived, but you don’t have any idea how many times, in the past few days, I’ve told myself an incident that occurred would make an amazing, funny, or thought-provoking status. It’d be so popular and get so many likes! *___*
3. Passing time. It’s so easy to log on and look at what people are doing when you have a few minutes to spare here or there. Which inevitably leads to…
4. Connecting with people! It’s the best way to talk to people. No one uses aim or gchat anymore.
5. When I get emails like this:
Facebook, you whore. Stop teasing me. I’m so currrriousssss…
