cut back on my facebook usage

or at least my free time. i won’t be unrealistic, i’m going to go on facebook, probably everyday. but only for specific reasons: check notifications/inbox, changing my status and sending things to people. i’m not going to make up reasons to stay on or just “hang out” browsing the page. most importantly, when i’m done doing what i need to i’m going to CLOSE the window. there is no need to leave it open on my screen all day in case something marvelous happens, because it never does and i just feel like a junkie.

I’ve done well with this, Now I only go on when I get an email from them about a comment or to check new photos, I no longer go on for hours for no reason just to browse or be nosey.

yes, i’ve offically heard it used as a verb. so and so “FB’d me”. I couldn’t believe it, you know its an obsession when it replaces other words. Oh well, its an addition. I’ll admit, I’m hooked. Still. Even worse, I’m going back to school in the fall which means more ppl to add and more stuff to do. Oh god…hahahah!!

it just causes too much drama and rubbish, and it’s only a website! I’m not going to go on it for a long time…I will have the willpower….Especially in relation to the ex…going on it means, through that stalker feed thing, that I can see who he’s been talking to and everything and it gets me worked up..and so I wont be doing it!! willpower willpower

I gave it up for lent. I’ll admit it’s been rough. I had to have my roommate change my password so i wouldn’t be tempted. i’m excited though b/c easter is a week and a half away! I can’t wait to get back on… lol

yah, it’s not really working. i can’t get away from it.

I’m slowly getting better at not going on it all the time. Today, I’ve only been on once (mainly because I was gone the whole day, but that doesn’t matter!!)

But I think I can do it. And I know you can too. Your GPA will thank you.

i found a way to buck the system. now my facebook comes to me. i get a text that tells me all the new things my account is doing. wall posts, messages, and pokes. this is great.

Facebook is just not making me happy right now. First the so-called “stalker” setting, where you can tell people where you are. It’s just creepy. “So-and-so is walking through a dark alley alone.” “So-and-so is in the middle of a drug deal.” You get why it’s slightly creepy. And then today they combined all the friends into ONE friend’s list instead of being able to see only your school friends at the top and THEN other school friends, which I prefer because I like to see who’s friends with whom, but I really don’t care about their second cousin Joe-Bob’s high school sweetheart who added them as a friend. Also, they put the relationship status as a basic info instead of personal info, which is just demeaning. I am not defined by the fact that I’m somewhere between “it’s complicated” and “in a relationship.” So I deleted most of what I had on Facebook and am only leaving it up in case my friends want to reach me.
