slacking with good reason


so it's been brought to my attention by a certain individual that in the land of blogging i've been a total slacker. and do you want to know why? i have a valid excuse, really i do.


it's called facebook!


i’m hooked! how bad you ask? so bad that i recently forced myself to set a timer for the time i allow myself to have facebook open at home.



10 warning signs that you may be addicted to facebook:



  • facebook is your home page.

  • you update your status more than twice a day.

  • you have over 500 “friends” half of whom you’ve never actually met.

  • as soon as you step away from your computer you’re on FB on your phone.

  • you are a fb stalker. you qualify as a FB stalker if you:



  1. click on someone's profile more than once a day even if they haven't messaged or tagged you in a photo.

  2. have dragged and dropped more than 3 fb photos (not from your own profile). (????)

  3. actually go to a place mentioned on someone's page in hopes of seeing them in real life. (creepy!)



  • you change your profile picture more than a 12-year-old girl.

  • you have checked your FB page while reading this article.

  • you clean up your “wall” so it looks like you spend less time on FB.

  • you are a member of more than 10 groups and respond to every event invitation “attending” even if you have no intention of going.

  • you change your relationship status just to mess with people. (hahahaha!)


my score: 8 no's & 4 yes's.


so maybe there's still hope for a successful intervention in my near future. chop-chop!!!
