Ok, I admit it. I'm one of those stupid people who does enjoy Facebook. I'm home all day with my kids and, when I have time to sit down at my computer, it feels like some kind of "social retreat" to catch up with people I would have otherwise lost contact with a long time ago.
This being said, it doesn't hold the same lure and attraction it once did. Why? Because it's always the same people updating their statues and like my husband always says (who is totally against Facebook if you didn't already know his stance), "Why do they think they are so important that you'd care what they are doing every second of their life?" When you think about it, there is some truth to his statement. But my all time favorite updates are from those who are "SO crazy busy" but yet they still have time to sit down at their computer and TELL us how busy they are. I don't know about you, but when I'm busy, updating my Facebook status to let you know how busy I am is the farthest thing from my mind! Facebook is a very narcissistic social forum...
But I still enjoy being a "fly on the wall" at times. I have become more of a voyeur on Facebook than an actual participant, but I still find it entertaining. And, truly, is there anything more exciting than seeing a post on your wall or the mystery involved in seeing the looming "friend request"? You just never know who might have found you today...It's exciting and, maybe, a little creepy. But--Hey--My life is so boring what's wrong with an occasional stalker? I'm merely kidding, of course!!! :)
