facebook: the frenemie

I have a love/hate relationship with facebook. I love analyzing people’s statuses (yes, I know how creepy this sounds) but I hate how much time I spend on it. At risk of making myself sound even more lazy than I already seem, I could spend about 6 hours on facebook every day. See? Major time-suck.

I also hate facebook for another reason: it takes me, and I believe anyone else who spends too much time on it, out of the real world. There were days I actually found myself forgetting about what was going on in my life because I was so busy trying to find out about everyone else’s.

Let’s face it- facebook is not just a social networking site. It’s a stalker’s wetdream, a miserable person’s crutch and procrastinator’s kryptonite. In short, it’s the devil. Okay, not really, but I am giving it up for Lent in the hope that I will break my facebook habit.
