How I did it
How to remove my phony facebook friends
It took me
2 weeks
It made me
enjoy facebook more

How I did it: facebook doesn't have to be a mindless time vacuum. just before i added this to my list i found myself becoming increasingly voyeuristic, suddenly interested in the lives of these 'friends' i hadn't had anything to do with since school. who wants to waste time on that? not me. i flicked everyone who'd added me that i hadn't seen since school, i hadn't spoken to on facebook, or whose status updates, groups and fan pages made me feel sure i… Read how I did it…

two down... 10 months ago

six feet under all began in 2001… i bawled the whole way through the last episode, and the tears followed through for about another hour. it was out of control. that final song, Breathe Me, was perfection.
