Hello. My name is Firefly Mom and I am addicted to Facebook.
(can you say "Hello, Firefly Mom"? ;)
As if I wasn't having a hard enough time keeping up with my e-mails...
As if I wasn't having a hard enough time keeping up with my wonderful blog-buddies blogs...
As if I wasn't having a hard time finding time to come up with semi-witty and entertaining blog posts of my own...
As if I wasn't having a hard enough time staying off the damned internet...
As if I wasn't having a hard enough time doing all of that laundry and cooking...
I now find myself addicted to Facebook. Well, it wasn't like I was really needing to do all of that laundry and cooking anyway. Not when I could be trying to find the girl that I ate lunch with every day in second grade. Or searching for the perfect "flair" for my board. Or wondering *why* the girl who lived down the street from me in 7th grade (who I was never friends with) wants to add me to her list of 150+ "friends".
You hear that loud sucking sound? It's me, being sucked into Facebook.
Peace…Love…Joy

I KNOW!!
Well...it's given you blog fodder for today! I haven't checked my account in a few days...
hehe, I hear ya...i play scrabble on mine too which mean's I'm on there loads eventhough I try to limit myself to two log-ons a day...but then get distracted with instant messaging...the groups i'm a member of, uploading photos, writing movie reviews, doing the blogcast, chatting....and then it's a case of 'It's 3am...how'd that happen'
Blog buddies, there should be an official term for that...bloggies....bluddies...hmmm, i see me spending more time on this than perhaps i should ;-)
Oh no, not you too! Yesterday I was told by about the ten millionth person that I HAVE to get on Facebook. As if I really want to be "friends" with people I didn't like twenty+ years ago. This goes against everything I stand for.
And I am probably joining this weekend. Ack! The pressure!
HaHAHAHAHA!!! Me too!!
I might just steal this blog post and put it on my blog because I also feel the exact same way (well, maybe not about the girl you ate lunch with or the other gal who's trying to befriend you). Sorry to have hit you with a Flair and got you hooked. ;>
Glad to know I'm not the ONLY one with an addictive personality!
Emma,
They have Scrabble?!? Oh crap, I'm screwed. I spend enough time playing the computer version that hubby gave me for Christmas, I can only imagine how much time I could spend playing it online. Perhaps it's best if I don't even go there ;D
Tress,
I know - who'd have thought you'd be giving in to peer pressure all these years out of school? I made a decision not to "friend" anybody from my past that I wasn't really friends with. What's the worst that could happen - they won't sit with me at lunch?? ;P
Teresa,
Oh, the flair... I swear I could spend hours looking at it all. Hell, I have! So much flair, so little time ;D
They have srabble as long as you're not in the US or Canada I'm afraid....it used to be for everyone then the people at Scrabble got their knickers in a twist about the copywrite issues and banned it's use on facebook for you lot....there may be a scrabble-like application on there somewhere, but i get to still use the offical one
I guess you are expecting an apology, but I'm just too darn excited to have you on my Facebook Friends list to give you any real sincere sort of contrition.
Oooo, it's like 2am here right now and I should be fast asleep but I've been watching old eps of SGA and gettin' all misty eyed...then I went online, big mistake, and found this http://stargate-sg1-solutions.com/blog/ if you scroll down about halfway to the vid of the 100th ep wrap party and at 1.51 theres a shot of something I believe you've been looking for...right, enough waffling, and no more caffine for Emma after 9pm!!
Okay, I just had to come back and comment again because Facebook? Is truly evil. Even more evil than I suspected. How else can I explain why I found myself up until 12:30 a.m "chatting" with a former beau whom I haven't laid eyes on in twenty years? Or why I am all of a sudden overcome with a sense of urgency to get a photo of myself on my page so people will recognize me? "People" - who am I kidding? That was pretty much the only person I was halfway interested in finding, and now I'm again done with Facebook. Done, I tell you!
Emma,
Wouldn't you know that it's not available to the US. Oh well, that's probably a good thing.
Thanks for that link! I like him with short hair. Wonder if they'll let him have it in the movie.
Kerry,
I did it all for you! Somebody has to keep an eye on you... ;D
Tress,
Well at least you found him, even if there's nobody else on there for you! For me, it's the flair. I could sit and look at it for hours...
Right there with ya...did I really need something else to do? And, if I cared what happened to all these people, why did I forget they existed for ten years? On the other hand, it is a great way to connect with your actual friends, keep up, send a note now and then, and if you follow the status updates you can find out who is doing laundry, taking a vacation, or has a sick kid. All fascinating stuff.
Don't worry, I think it gets better. I'm sort of getting tired of FB and mess with it a lot less often. Even flair gets kinda boring after a while.
Hi Firefly Mom. I'm a FB junkie too.
It started out innocent enough, I wanted to keep tabs on DD since she wanted a FB page. But then I discovered people MY age on there, and then other folks discovered ME, and my students actually wanted me to be their buddies, and my scouts, and my DD's friends...and...and...it just snowballed from there. DH, the Alpha Geek, got a page too and we Poke each other, and send Flair and it's like a sick, twisted, geeky courtship ritual. We need help cuz we ain't right!
Is there a 12 step program we can fill out, put in or Notes and tag 30 friends with?
