Top Five Reasons I Hate Facebook (aka: reasons I will not make a facebook account)

People give me a hard time about not being on facebook. I have thought about this long and hard. To be frank, I am OVERJOYED that I don't have to deal with the facebook drama. The following are just a few reasons why you won't find me there.

1. All the stupid games...get off your arse, quit playing make believe farmer or cafe owner and do something with your life. Perhaps you could learn to garden, or cook FOR REALS.

2. I don't want to reconnect with all the friends or family I left behind. I left them behind for a reason! If my bf from high school or my mother's uncle's monkey wants to talk to me then they can call me or send me a letter. I don't really want to look at all their stupid mafia accomplishments or the baloney that their kids/grandkids are doing on a daily basis.

3. People are complete asses when they can hide behind their facebook updates instead of REALLY communicating with people.

4. No one cares about your pathetic life enough to want to know that you are going to launder your undies, or wax your eyebrows, or watching movies on a Friday night or whatever lame update you are posting for the whole universe to read about.

5. Just because everyone and MY MOTHER has a page doesn't mean I have to.

I am confused why people give me a hard time for not being a follower. I frankly feel refreshed to NOT be one of the 300 million active users. Think about that!

I agree with you for all of the reasons mentioned. If I wanted to be friends with long lost people of the past, I would have stayed in touch with them (or them me). I find it really annoying that people find fulfillment in having like 200 friends. Come on...those people aren't really your friends. It's such a suckage of time...and time is valuable.

Well this explains why I couldn't find you there. I agree with a lot of the things you find annoying there, but I will say that Facebook has been a fun way to reconnect with people. You don't have to have their e-mail addresses to leave them a quick note... hint hint. ;-)

Anyway, good to hear from you again. Hope the family is all doing well. Shoot me an e-mail at designergina@gmail.com and we can catch up further.

Okay Okay. Geesh!! Tell me how you really feel. I initially didn't want an account either. I was signed up by someone else. I just gave in to everyones rantings. Now I just send updates on goofy stuff Reece does. Love you!!
