One of my friends told me that she lives on Facebook because she thinks she feels closer to the world at home.
But in reality, I have started to use Facebook as a crutch. I can go a whole day without doing anything, simply because I'm on Facebook!! The are endless links, games, friends information, meeting up with new people, and just random crap!!
So I decided that it might do me some good to have a wee break of it. I decided that I would be a late comer to Lent, an originally Christian tradition but has spread to the wider world in the form of giving up chocolate or some form of bad food. If you want to know more about it then pop over here!
I though it would be good to get some rules down on paper (or on blog in this case) so that you all know what I can and can't do during this period of self-denial:
1) No clicking on any facebook links that will take me to the portal that is facebook!
2) Any emails into my hotmail account are allowed to be read, but not replied to!
3) No posting of statuses, pictures or links on facebook!
4) The only time I am allowed on facebook is to pick up important contact information, such as addresses or links (that are already in my facebook emails).
5) The day I log into facebook and post or search, or look around is the day I quit this period.
So, them's the rules guys - and you'll know when the time is up!
In the mean time I'm getting used to life sans facebook, and catching up on emails and work I should have done a long time ago!
Enjoy the quiet time on facebook people!
Love xx
