My friend and I have decided to boycott facebook. Mainly because people take it too seriously, but also because it's just an annoying waste of time. I mean, it is nice to have to look at pictures and to post pictures and blahblahblah but for the most part it just irks me. Example: tons of people thought me and Loren broke up awhile back just because we took our relationship status off of our profiles. Really? If you really want to know what I'm doing, just e-mail me or text me (but don't call me because I have limited phone minutes and I don't really enjoy talking). It annoys me that people assume things about people's lives just because of some cryptic status update they posted on facebook or because someone took down a relationship status or because someone is no longer facebook friends with someone else. Like...really? Gee whiz.
On a different note, today I walked around campus, paid tuition, went to the bank, and made a delicious sandwich. Later today, Kara and I are going to drop off resumes. Later tonight a big group of friends are going to see Iron Man 2 for free, so I suppose I'll crawl out of my warm and dark cave to go to that too.
Good for you for taking a stand! It is a huge waste of time, is addictive (although fun ... as all addictive things can be), and you simply don't have time for it anymore. This is much better. Then you can talk about things you are learning in Philosophy; wonderful things you have written; and (gulp) stuff you're learning in Biology (hopefully none of which have to do with chopping up animals who have feelings just like we do.) I still think you need a Beemer (for safety), but we'll just "put that out there" into the Universe and see what comes back. Good luck with your classes and getting a job.
ReplyDeleteWell, I guess that is a good plan. I know lots of people use it, although I have not really wanted to reconnect with some high-school mate from 50 years ago!
ReplyDeleteGood luck and carry on! (Paul is coming up this evening to discuss writing and then Wed night I am FINALLY going to have the left over pork chops and mashed potatoes!!!!)
I don't use Facebook. I use Livejournal because my friend Cedric in England is on Livejournal and we communicate that way. Cedric is a Rex.
