Facebook and Hate

I've decided to delete my facebook account. I decided to figure out the things that I do a lot and always feel kind of bad about, and decide whether I should stop doing them or not. One was wearing all of Callie's clothes.. so I washed those and got them back to her. I don't think she cared, but she never is realy interested in wearing my clothes so then Ifeel like a moocher, and she's just better at taking care of her clothes than I am.

I never feel good about spending time on Facebook. I just always feel a little embarrassed and silly. I always lose just a tiny bit of respect for anyone who has a facebook.

I don't like the idea of having an infinite reach of trivial details in everyone's life that I know. I want to KNOW the people I'm friends with and enjoy getting to know who they are and stuff about them. I don't want to find out all about them in a really impersonal way. That's kind of creepy. For that matter, I don't want people to know all my business in a really impersonal way. I'll tell you anything but it seems a little needy to just post stuff all on the internet when there's no intrinsic value to anyone but me.

Also think it's probably a little vain that I have like a zillion pictures of myself on the internet. I just feel like that's a little weird.

I think it will make my life better not to have a facebook. I think I will spend more quality time with my friends and in the end be MORE connected socially.. I could be wrong. We'll see.

Also I just worked my last shift at subway. I brought home every scrap of food I could find, facing the reality that I will not be eating fresh every meal for free any more. I'm completely ok with this.
