learning that it really isn't about me...and maybe that defeats the purpose of this.

Facebook Fix

Here we go, I gave up facebook for lent. 
It hurts. 
2 day(s) down
38 to go

Everyday, I spend my day thinking (surprise, right?) well I spend my day thinking about what facebook status I could have throughout the day.

 to name a few statuses(sp?) of today

Meredith Spalding stressful day...
Meredith Spalding a guy opened up a door for me today.. weird. yet refreshing 
Meredith Spalding my mom is the best. she picked me up from school right on time (I didn't even have to call her) with the top down on Liz, glee blaring and she looked so cool. I love her

My addiction, it's sick.
The worst part is... I hate it. I am hating facebook. Its not fun anymore, it's just annoying honestly. But it's wired into my brain, and even my body. I sat down on the computer yesterday to do homework. Before I knew it, I was typing into safari. I looked down and www.faceboo was in the address bar before I even noticed. Normally, I would facebook about how much I hate facebook but I have sworn off it. At least for now, I got Jack to change my password, because I will be tempted. But this is the time when a certain other person was tempted... so it's fitting I s'pose. 

So for the next forty days.. Blogging is my fix.
It doesn't really matter who reads or who comments. I just need to feel somewhat intellectual. I need to kvetch.

I think that Facebook would very tough to give up. It's good though that you're blogging instead. I read that people are giving up on writing in depth posts on blogs for the quick gratification of status updates on Facebook.

I think that is understandable sometimes. Sometimes I have one thing to say and then I'm done with the subject. But I love blogging and I'm tired of Facebook, haha it is very hard to give up though.
