I have cut the umbilical cord to Facebook. After a bout of online stalking I came across the startling realization that though virtually meaningless in the scheme of things, it still stings like a bitch when you are defriended. I felt cheated and robbed, as if I had been marked down on the sacred Top 8 of myspace, or picked last on a sports team. And I thought to myself, why suffer the humiliation? Do I not humiliate and alienate myself in society enough as it is? Should I sign up for more heartache by giving others the option to delete me if the mood strikes them? Am I not the butterfly of this social network that I thought? NO. No I say. I shan't and I won't. I'm deleting myself and joining the ranks of the elitist society which communicates only through carrier pigeons and old fashioned love letters. I am breaching the surface folks, I AM A NEW WOMAN.
And I have homework and since I won't be preoccupied filling my time with updating my status or feeling like garbage maybe I will get something done.
Goodbye cruel cyber world. Be back to blog with something less self-loathing in a jif.
