Facebook

Ok, here's the reason why I didn't blog on friday; My power was out from 8 o'clock in the morning on friday until 1:30 in the afternoon on saturday. I was busy and sick the rest of the weekend, so that's why I didn't blog on the other days. So, to reply to anyone who says "But you said you would give us candy and an apology letter if you didn't blog!" 2 things: 1) Don't start a sentence with the word but. Anyone who's ever been to school knows that it's not proper grammar and that it makes you look stupid 2) I have a very legit excuse, so don't even ask. The answer will be no.

Facebook, a website that can keep you glued to the computer for 4 hours at a time. The website that pairs beautifully with procrastinators, because what better way to waste your time then to log on to Facebook?

I don't know about you, but as soon as I look at the computer, all I think about is logging on the magical land of Facebook. I start to think of my little grapes on farmville, and my mob on mafia wars, and of course, I can't neglect the little bunny I made on petville! So I log and tend to all of my virtual duties, and then, I glance on to the homepage and see a really funny status. I press the "like" button and post a comment. The person replied! So of course, I have to reply to the comment. That goes on for a while, until I run out of things to say, so I just go become a fan of a bunch of stuff that I didn't even think I was a fan of until I saw that my fbff (facebook best friend forever) became a fan of it. Oh look! I have a new message!!! It was my other fbff asking me if I wanted to go for a bike ride!!! She's online, so we just start to chat. As I'm chatting with her, I start stalking peoples profile. I know that person!!! *click* Add As Friend. YES!!! Now I have 250 friends.

As I'm doing this fun stuff, my mom screams down the stairs that it's time for dinner. How is that possible? Have I logged on for that long!?!? Uh oh. I have. Now, I have to eat dinner and do all the homework that was assigned. As I'm eating dinner, Mom suggests that we go for a walk, I tell her that I have homework and says, that's ok, you finished most of it while you were in your room, right? I don't want to tell her that I was on Facebook the whole time, so I just agree with her. By the time I get back, it's 7 o'clock, and I have to get ready for karate class. I get there just in time, and the class runs late. By the time I get home and have a shower, it's 10 o'clock. CRAP!!! I'm too tired to do the homework!!!

Other than the fact that Facebook causes problems later on, Facebook is a wonderful place, a haven of perfection, blending my utopia and reality. It's a place where you can show off your pictures, where you can pick fights and things will still be normal the next day when you see them in person!!! A place where you can become friends without having to worry about first impressions or if you actually get along. Facebook is a replacement for therapy; if your self-esteem is low that day, just post that in your status and a bunch totally unqualified people who you don't even know will encourage and support you. The only place where you can get married, no matter what age!!! The only place that you can have kids without having to go through.... well you know. Facebook is the replacement for real connections and conversation. You can deal with your problems by simply hitting the 'send' button on chat. You can confront people without actually having to confront them! You can say stuff you don't mean without the person knowing that you lied. It truly is the reality in which we live, there is no such thing as face-to-face heartfelt conversations anymore, they're now Facebook chat heartfelt conversations. We come alive on Facebook, we get to be the person we don't dare to be in public places! You can feel so loved and content when really, you're just sitting all alone in your room eating the leftover chocolate from easter, your hair is heinous and you're still wearing your pjs.

Nothing in hand, I leave you yearning for the next post. If there is one. lol.
