I’m all about being online but Facebook is starting to take over my life. For example, when I meet a new person and they tell me they’re not on Facebook I instantly decide we can’t be friends – what’s up with that? I don’t know when and where it became so important to me that all my friends are available all the time to social network but you know, at the end of the day I think it’s great I’m able to detach myself when I need to. I have clear internet so I’m able to get online from my laptop probably more often than I should but it’s important to me to know what’s going on in my friends’ lives on a day to day basis and that’s all there is to it. I wish I wasn’t so interested in their new baby pictures or what vacation they just went on but at the end of the day that’s what social networking is all about, right? Knowing what your friends are up to?
