24 Hours Have Gone By

At six pm today I made it. Twenty four hours without Facebook. I tried to distract myself with other things like real people, food, and YouTube but every once in a while I noticed its absence. To be honest it wasn’t like having my arm cut off or something but I did notice it was gone. I like to post interesting things I here, say, or think of in my status every now and again and this day seemed to have more than usual. I watched a new movie which had impeccable quotes, but I doubt the will ever see their way to my Facebook now, as I forget things quite easily. The hardest part was telling my friend that I couldn’t talk to her on Facebook as we normally do. My friend can’t text, so almost every day we chat on Facebook because she is in San Diego and I am in Northridge. At first she thought I had something to do for English and we could just talk later, I had to explain more of what I was doing so that she wouldn’t be disappointed when I didn’t come back on later. We worked it out but it was very different from every other day. To be honest, I’m not quite sure that I would be able to give Facebook up completely if it still existed in some form because I do rely on it for a good percentage of my communication. It is quite a shock for me to say this because for my years I didn’t have Facebook, and now it has become a fact of my life. I can only wonder, what  would happen if someday it just didn’t exist anymore.
