So I Finally Fell to the Facebook Temptation
I’ve always avoided anything resembling social networking sites. I have a hard enough time keeping in touch with the friends I have—why would I possibly want to spend time on the people on these sites? Plus, I’m already bad at time management—why would I possibly want another mindless drain on my time?
Well, it’s because over the course of a single evening, three separate friends tried to talk me into joining. I guess my willpower is no match for the power of three (or something like that). So I decided that, since I was going to join, I may as well do it right. Therefore, I tried to do everything like other people I know who use Facebook.
- I’ve signed up for an account, posted some notes, and written on the walls of all my friends.
- I’ve joined a group: “I will correct your grammar and I won’t feel bad about it.” It’s perfect.
- I’ve even thrown some pictures up online.
- And, I’ve already spent way too much time on it—I’ve even neglected my editing.
Doesn’t that seem right?
Actually, despite the time commitment, I’ve really enjoyed it. Let me tell you, having 17 people want to be your friend in one day is certainly good for the self-esteem. Who knew being internet friends could be so rewarding?
