The Life And Times Of The Facebook-Free Girl

In high school, we had “R” days and “W” days to signify different scheduling on different days.  The principal would announce what letter day it was on the loudspeaker, and I think everyone I went to high school with can attest to their favorite day being a “W” day just because of the way the principle announced the letter W (daable-you).  Anyway, I’ve decided that in my life, today is a “Facebook-Free” day.  No complaints, no gripes, no probing into my own life about my obsession with the social network (plus, my friend told me she likes when I post postive posts, so this is for you, Blakie).  My “Facebook-Free” day is solely dedicated to sharing the recent goings-on in my life.

So here is what I did in the last week instead of wasting my precious time on Facebook: Ate a pastrami sandwich at Katz's Deli (all I can say is, a-mazingggg, and quite possibly, the highlight of my week), watched the Jets destroy the Chargers (way to go Nate Keading), read Sarah’s Key and The Glass Castle (I highly recommend both), currently reading Committed (ehh, not so much what I expected), applied for 12 jobs, wrote some blogs, went out with friends, ordered underwear online (it’s such a guilty pleasure), attempted to see Avatar (sold-out, waaaa) got a haircut (a “sharp dusting” as Denise likes to say), read the Sunday Times, babysat, met friends for dinner at Malatesta (yummy and cheap, a must), caught up with an old high school friend, watched Pineapple Express and ate pineapple (not at the same time, but the pineapple was delicious).

 If it sounds to you like all I did was eat, read, and hang out with friends, than for the most part you are correct, but that to me is a real social network. The real thing is always so much better, I can promise you that.
