FACEBOOK

I only want to vent a little about a certain thing we all have come to know....facebook!  Gotta love it, but sometimes I feel as if it is a certain lesser evil.  I find myself spending time "facebook stalking" when I could be doing much more productive things ie. studying.  I think it is ridiculous how people use it as a tool to "see who has the most friends" or the "most interesting and fun life".  I recently went through and deleted about 150 people who were merely accquaitances (eh? spelling!) and i barely knew.  I'm just so sick of the shallowness of it all.  Why we all love it so much... ah... I have the explanation... it keeps us all so INTERCONNECTED all the time.  You can get on and read all about someone you barely know and suddenly you know their life story, who they're dating, what they did friday night, and "where they've been".  Gag me.  As of now- I will continue to facebook but try to keep it classy.  Get on only to keep in touch with good friends..and oh...maybe on occasion upload an album or two for the world to view....//haha

you're absolutely right, elle, about the facebook stalking. the other reason i hate it is because people just add EVERYONE they can... like when i moved in i had like 200 friend requests from people in my ward: some of whom i haven't talked to to this day. anyway, i linked your blog from mine so i can follow you in your exciting life. you better keep updating this, because it's sooo much better than facebook! :)
