“…I leave and heave a sigh and say goodbye.“

I have made the move, taken the red pill, given the long kiss goodnight. Buh-bye facebook!

We all have very complicated and varied relationships with our facebook accounts. We’re newbies, we’re addicted, we’re annoying the crap out of our friends with group or application invites, we’re posting incriminating photos and we’re also BORED! Ok, well, most people aren’t bored with facebook. I am. I was a newbie, then I was addicted, I did the silly vampire and pirate and ninja applications. I can confrim that I was a member of the “Slow walking people make me want to punch them in the back of the head” group. I joined random charities and flirted with various religious and political groups until I realised I didn’t give a hoot. I joined the Barack Obama for president group because, let’s face it, who didn’t? I didn’t really post any incriminating photos but as a result of being “friends” with my much younger sister-in-law, I got to see her incriminating photos…and really wish I never had.

Facebook is a powerful beast and I am all for it. For other people. I’ve just decided that it’s not for me and that’s that. I don’t have a problem with people using facebook, not at all, I just no longer want to use it myself. I have my little corner of the internet right here and I think I’ll settle in for a while. This space needs a bit of nurturing and attention and I’m just the girl for the job (mainly because it is MY blog!).

And just to prove that I don’t have any sour grapes with the internet giant, here, follow the link if you’re one of the few people left who haven’t signed up or if reading this has made you realise you have a million messages to post. From a girl who is just not that fussed.
