Cleanest break I've ever made.

The door next door keeps rattling. The building must be adjusting from the brand new freeezing cold weather, so everything's askew.

I have two papers due next week. Sheesh. I may brave the cold to get to the library soon. I wish there were underground tunnels.

Caroline and I are drinking monsters, so we can wake up.  She says we're like blooming flowers. Caroline is addicted. "Don't tell Dad," she says. She's confessed to drinking them during her 8am math class, and she even leaves early to go buy them. She only has one a day though. "NEVER FEAR!" she says. She loves her Monsters...kisses the cans and whispers, I love you. No joke. It's becoming an issue I'm afraid. Intervention soon.

I want my twitter back, so I can tweet stupid things that I refuse to post on Facebook. Maybe, I'll reactivate it. It stays hidden and inactive for thirty days when you deactivate and then after thirty days if it hasn't been reactivated it will be fully deleted from twitter. I've reactivated mine a million times since I got rid of it in October, so it's never quite been fully deleted from twitter. I had tweeted for a good three years but woke up one day and decided I had to be done for a bit.

I can't really stand social media, but I feel so dependent on it to stay in touch with the world. How dumb is that? Why do I only feel like I exist if I have personal pages online that show that I exist? Do I really believe people are interested in what I have to say and what I'm doing? No, they aren't. It's dumb. I tend to be a minimalist. Get rid of the unnecessary, I say. Twitter is unnecessary, but it's so fun at the same time. Ehhh, I'm such a torn person sometimes.Wanting all the things I don't need, and then being annoyed at myself that I ever wanted them in the first place since I don't need them. Blah blah blah. #whocaressowhat

I just reactivated it. Hah... Here's to living an unnecessarily-social-media-ly cluttered life for the moment. Indecisiveness rules my life. Next week it'll be gone again. One day I'll get rid of Facebook. I get so excited for people that have the guts to cut the tangled strings of Facebook out of their lives. One day, I will. Social media is tricksy. It feeds the selfish beasts we all have living inside of us. Brilliant plan, world, brilliant plan.

  1. I feel the same way about my facebook. I consider reactivating mine every day but I make myself stay away. (I can always use Ivy's if I really need it.) I feel like the social networking runs my life too much, too :/ I can't imagine deactivating twitter.

  2. Glad to say I never had a facebook. When there is an actual button for liking/disliking, it would be all too easy for me to obsess over what people think about me. But people really do listen to what you have to say, so there is a power you do have.

  3. Haha, I can totally understand the Monster obsession. It only becomes more addictive in graduate school!
