stop being distracted by facebook, popjustice, perezhilton &c.

I rarely visit ph these days, don’t really care anymore, nothing for me there. facebook too seems to be on the decline, even though its good for picking up new friends and event invites. I’ve been off it for 5 days now and I plan to stay off for a month until my addiction is more controllable. popjustice seems to be more of an intuitive thing, although my interest in the stuff they talk about on the message board is lessening.

Hmm, not sure this is working. Must try harder, keep logging on to my email to see if i have the holy grail of a facebook message, wall post, invitation, even bloody poke for christ’s sake. it’s going to be a long and drawn out process.

Cannot wait for my take-home papers to be done and dusted, so that I can go back to being a receptive facebook user. Feel good, I put out those fb pics even if some detagge theres out of embarrassment. no doubt everyone who’s in them will see them. now i want to focus on living and loving my life and self. i want to stop sowingmy seeds around and settle down with someone, I would like to get married by 30-32 and that means i need experience for relationships, also i’m lonely and gets me every now and then, never before have i got so self-conscious.

After a sustained period of abstinence, I uploaded a batch of new photographs and made a new event. Wanted validation and responses really badly. Oh dear. Better put them both on the forbidden site lists. However, I hardly frequent the perezhilton site as much, so that’s an achievement of sorts.

With my laptop arriving soon, I’ve decided in light of my friend’s facebook suicide that I need a long break from it. It has been helpful in introducing me to new films, styles, social events &c. I will cut down majorly from it and pop justice now.

This has been going really well. I think facebook is a great way to communicate but at the same time it can bring out the ‘undesirables’ in people i.e. e-stalking, obsessive behaviour and general misunderstanding. I hope to cut down majorly and rely less on these things.

If I stop wasting idle time browsing these stupid and almost pointless websites I can focus on my M.A. and going out more. Instead, I spend my time on these sites and then feel guilty for not having done my work and even more miserable because I haven’t seen anyone for weeks as a result!
