Do you hear that whooshing sound? That is the sound of me getting sucked into Facebook. My friend Mrs. B. sent me an invitation to join and be her friend. I figured that I would join just so I could be her friend and that would be the end of it. I'd never look at it again.
But no. I was immediately drawn in with such force that I think my computer gave me a hickey. Within minutes I had found a bunch of friends from Ginormousville, some relatives, and my high school sweetheart. I have gotten friend requests from people I can't even remember. But I know I must have known them because we had classes together.
I sat down for a quick check at the beginning of nap time. The next thing I know, I hear children stirring on the monitors. I had spent the whole two hours filling in profiles and looking for friends - instead of doing something useful like bathing or cleaning my house. I had no idea that Facebook was such a time suck!
I have talked more with BFF KG more in the last 24 hours than in the whole preceding month. Now, not only do I feel compelled to check my blog reader every time I walk by the computer, I have to check Facebook, too. Is there a 12-step program for this? For surely I am addicted. It's like internet heroin. One taste and you are hooked.
My name is Rae Ann and I am a Facebookaholic.
I have recently become a FB addict as well :( Maybe we should start a 12 step program ourselves...
ReplyDeleteLOL...I recently discovered FB I am still not sure about it mainly b/c I keep getting poked and prodded,and water balloons thrown at me I was even kidnapped...go figure lol
ReplyDeleteWe're addicted too...just one more thing to waste my time :)
ReplyDeleteMy friends laugh at me because I only have 14 friends on FB. I tell them with my ADD it's all I can keep track of. :) It's really suck control. I know if I get into into it, I'm a goner. It's all I can do to peel myself off the computer as it is.
ReplyDeleteI have to say it is definitely addicting!!!
