Give up facebook?

Did anyone actually believe me about the whole giving up Facebook for Lent?  Nah, I didn't think so.

Hi everyone, My name's Netia and I'm a Facebook-a-holic (not a wineaholic like Jemina thinks, because I DON'T like the stuff, it's the poison that hangovers are made from!!).  I can just see Jemina's face looking at me sternly and saying "Auntie Netiiiiaaaa, you didn't even TRY" lol 

You know, half of me loves facebook.  Loves the concept, the ideology, what it represents, the absurd amount of little applications, the annoyingmemes, all the unnecessary but vital status updates but the other half HATES it for some of those exact reasons, because I am a wee bit addicted to it and more.  I find myself logging on in the morning to find out who has done the most inane thing since I last checked, erm, let's see, 7 hours earlier just before my head hit the pillow.  Reading down the comments if someone wrote more than a "Hi, how are you?"  (which personally drives me nuts, because really,  How are you?  There are so many more things you could ask like - does the colour of knickers you wear affect your mood?  Or maybe, have you tried picking up jelly beans using your nostrils by breathing in deeply?)

I would go into more detail about my feelings on the subject, but I'm playing on-line scrabble and for the FIRST time ever I'm leading a little, and that, in Netia's world is like GOLD DUST.  As in RARE and may never happen EVER again.  Oh and has anyone else noticed I am Loving Capital letters recently in all my posts?  The psychotic in me wants to analyse why that is, but the competitive me doesn't have time and wants to win annihilate win conquer win.  I think I shall be back to ponder all the nonsense in this post at a later date...that is, if I win.  If I lose, alas, I will have lost the will to live.

Add Drama Queen to that mix of Psychotic and Competitive and what a dynamite cocktail!
