We all have one. Or two. Or ten. Those people who are chronic Facebook status posters. Don't get me wrong, I like reading status updates because who has the time to ask every single friend or acquaintance how they're getting along on a daily basis while trying (like myself) to juggle a full time job and school schedule? I sure don't. So that's why those little status blurbs come in handy... until you "friend" a chronic poster!
Lately I've really been questioning the validity of my being on Facebook simply because things are starting to annoy me--at the top of my list those people who seem to have to post an update about their life every other minute. I'm truly starting to think to myself when this happens, and I care because? The second reason on my list would be the unnecessary status rants that some people seem to have no control of once their fingers hit the keyboard. If you're mad at someone how about you tell them over the phone instead of embarrassing them—and you—over the internet? Why would you want someone to know all the tiny details (and most of them seem to be rather seedy anyways) about your life that should probably be kept private? And the third reason that I'm starting to question my being a Facebook user is because of right now: I am actually writing a blog about it which means it is starting to affect my thinking to a degree, as in I am thinking about it outside of Facebook! I know that I can only do my best to NOT do these types of things in my own little Facebook realm, but once it starts to irritate the hell out of you—I’m thinking it might be best if I disappear from the site for awhile and let everyone else figure it out.
