Yes! Alas! I’ve done it!

August 30, 2007

I just did something that would surprise the people who know me personally. I deleted my friend-network account.  I guess I just didn’t seem to find any use to it anymore. And I didn’t like the feeling of being watched.  For the past few years I’ve been trying to maintain a blog account that I could freely express my thoughts and feelings on everything.  The problem dear reader is that I always end up having someone tell my parents about the most horrid thing I say about them.  It’s not that I hate my parents -  I mean, come on! I’m sure we all have our mistakes at some point.  I just don’t know why they had to be such a blabber mouth about it.  Or maybe I should have been more careful and one way of being more careful was to cancel that.

I feel so liberated having done so anyway.  I think I’m pretty proud of what I just did.  I’m sure there are a lot of other people who have become so dependent on those friends-network sites.  Hahaha. Or I guess this is just my way of justifying what I have done.  

I must admit I am dependent on a couple of other things.  My cellphone for example, I think I would rather miss a class or a test if I left home without it. (I doubt it, if I could. I use it whenever I’m awake—- if it were possible to use it in the bathroom I probably would). and there’s e-mail, I guess I just like to keep in touch in a more genuine way than the friend-networking site.  Hahaha. My lover doesn’t and haven’t use it. She tells me she doesn’t like the superficiality of labeling people who you don’t really know as “friends”. I guess my lover has a point.  And I probably got the idea of deleting it from my ever dearest.
