Facebook Suicide Attempts

I am one of those social network junkies and I have no shame to say so. I am able to focus on important tasks in my life such as school, work, family events, etc., and still be able to use them. Out of all of my friends I am always the first person to use the newest and hottest sites. Unlike some people I don't use these sites as "creating a person that I am not". I just capitalize on what people already know about me. It gives me some space to say and involve others into my thoughts, opinions, or decisions that I otherwise would never ask them to be involved in. I keep in touch with people and now it has become a big way to promote events or parties. I find them super useful.

I'm sure your wondering why I called this Facebook Suicide Attempts right? Well, I deactivate my facebook at times when I really need to focus. (i.e midterms, finals, big projects) only because it becomes a reason for me not to pay attention. When I get on a "study break" I find myself going on facebook, or Twitter, or Myspace and Skype and work keeps being procrastinated. When I see this happening I know that its time for me to go into "Facebook Rehab", is what me and my friends call it. This gives me no excuses not to finish work. I go through withdrawals but it makes things so much more interesting when I get back on. I've given the people a chance to miss me and they look forward to new pics I have taken while I was away or new thoughts I have now that I am back.

However, I doubt I will ever completely commit facebook suicide only because I enjoy keeping in touch and seeing what people say to me on my photos or comments they have when I post something.
