I don't even miss it. Every now and then I think about posting but it's like "Haircut! Yay!" and then I think, who cares that I got my hair cut? And I laugh at myself. Cause, really... it seems very self-important and I was posting as much dumb stuff as anyone else, so please don't think I am acting all high & mighty, I did it too. :)<br /><br />Have not ever even tried Twitter. Don't think I will anytime in the near future. Of course, if I ever have a book to shout about, I'm sure I'll need those things to help build interest, but for now when I have no book in sight.. I'm good. ;)<br /><br />Thanks for the idea, Olivia! Will have to look for her!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16418440256681984621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2940470221686681297.post-73042371295476752322010-11-09T06:46:11.328-08:002010-11-09T06:46:11.328-08:00I have a love/hate relationship with FB.

Cudos to you for unplugging.<br /><br />Speaking of unplugging, Terry Stonecrop @ Gardner West, PI, talked about this today, citing some research on what being plugged in is doing to our brains.

For the most part, my FB friends (I try to keep it to people I actually know personally) are normal... but there are always a few people who write stuff they really shouldn't and I also found myself getting worked up over the ignorance some people display. So I hid a few people from my news feed (And those blasted farmville and poker games), and now everything is peachy! :) I still try not to look at it obsessively though... I realized I just like to use it as a distraction, so some days, it's best if I just don't sign in at all.Kristin Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14169967050454852124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2940470221686681297.post-71961798482180368242010-11-08T23:44:18.349-08:002010-11-08T23:44:18.349-08:00Are you really quitting Facebook?
