A few weeks ago I signed out of Facebook for the last time (for a while)… I’ve given it up for Lent. Lent seemed to coincide too well with my dissertation writing period for it to be a coincidence, and with the social networking site gradually taking over my life I grabbed the opportunity to have a break from it. At first I was at a loss… which web address should I mindlessly type into my browser after checking my email? Now, though, I am relieved. I must say I was getting a bit worried for my sanity – how could a normal person be such a stalker!? Most people probably aren’t as unhealthily obsessed with “facebooking” as I was and don’t empathize with my problem. I needed some boundries! I think I probably will return after Easter, but hopefully by then Facebook’s spell over me will have been broken.
