Facebook: Friend or Foe? Day One

08:57am
Woke up and did the usual; picked up my phone to check Twitter and Facebo-uh oh. First hurdle hit. I have to admit, a part of me got really frustrated; I started thinking, quite angrily, 'oh this is so stupid. If i wanna go on there I can, for god's sake`.But nope. No facebooks for me. Sigh. This is tricky.

10:50am
For the second time since i left the house 15 minutes ago, i just went to check my facebook. This is ridiculous. However, the feelings of disappointment are becoming less frequent.

13:03pm
I never quite realised the extent to which I've become involved with facebook. My hand is so used to me checking it whenever i'm on my phone, that my thumb keeps going to click on the mobile app and instead I end up looking at google maps. Also, the weather application on Snaptu has never seen so much action- the whole layout on Snaptu has shifted 'cos I removed the facebook button and so i keep accidentally clicking on it. Still, at least I know that depsite the fact it feels like -2°C it's actually 1°C, the wind is blowing North at 14kmh

14:00pm
I wasn't able to finish reading two of the short stories that we were analysing for our creative writing workshop today, so I turned to Rosie, the author of one of the stories, and told her that 'After this i'll read through it and then send you the feeback on Facebook'.
No, I won't. Great. Got her Kentmail address though, as well as Kieran's, and I suppose this is what I was talking about- the other ways you can communicate with other people that don't involve facebook are there, you just have to make that little bit more effort to find them

19:10pm
Emma: I should be doing work, but i'm noooot
Me: ...
Emma: what?
Me: Are you on Facebook?
Emma:... i'm saying nothing.

19:16pm
Emma's just said 'oh you've been tagged in a photo, wanna see- oh shit, yeah! well, you look really nice in it'
ARRRRRGGGGGHHH

It's been really hard since I got back from uni to not be able to just click on it and browse. It's quite strange how much I really really really wanted to go on it. Hopefully this will change as the days go on, but i guess we'll see...
