The Girl's 100th

As my 100th blog was approaching I continuously asked myself what I was going to write about.  How do I express 100 blogs worth of thought in just one blog?  Do I make fun of something I've never made fun of yet?  Do I compare the addiction to Facebook to my addiction to french fries?  The answer: I still don't know, I'm not that clever.  So for my 100th blog I can tell you this; I still don't miss Facebook and here are my reasons why:

A Top Ten if you will...

10. Because Farmville has been replaced by Fishville and I hate both farms and fish.

9.  Because I no longer start sentences with "OMG did you see on Facebook..."

8.  Because I no longer end sentences with "...I saw it on Facebook."

7.  Because my grandparents no longer have access to my daily escapades.

6.  Because I no longer have to wish people a Happy Birthday that I wasn't really friends with in the first place.

5. Because I now have an opportunity to make fun of everyone I know and get away with it.

4.  Because I don't have to see everyone pretending to be happy and fun when we all know that if you need to post your pics for the world to see you're really not that fun.

3.  Because I can actually hold a conversation, make a phone call, draft an email, send a text and don't need to rely on Facebook for anything social in my life.

2.  Because I can wear the same outfit more than once without having to worry if people will judge me about it.

1.  Because it feels good (and a bit safer) that I am not accesible to 500 million people worldwide.

So there you have.  No revelations or wise words, just the truth.  One hundred blogs later and I'm still going strong.  Didn't think I had it in me, did you? No worries, I didn't think it either, but I did it, so at least I did something semi-productive in the last six months.  And even though I would have liked to compare Facebook and french fries, let's be honest, french fries are a staple in my diet, I'll never be able to break that addiction.
