My advice:

1) Turn off computer.
2) Take a deep breath.
3) Step away from computer.
4) Sep outside.
5) Get a life (no offense intended) offline.

I tried Facebook, but I just can't get into those online social networks. Most most I've ever been involved in communicating with people on the web (not counting email, of course) is this forum and a classic Mustang forum. I like the information I can get that I can't get anywhere else. Other than that, I'll stick with real life communication.

Facebook is worse than crack.. It needs to be controlled, because it's turning people into lifeless addicts!

I finally signed up for Facebook recently after my friend tried persuading me for months, but I am too lazy to search for people, and I have uploaded only one photo. Have not added all the favourite shows/movies/books/etc. and about me section because I'm such a lazybum.

I check my LiveJournal friends' page more than I check anything else. It will turn 4 years old on the same day I turn 22 *tears*

I have to agree with you here.

I use AIM a bit, mostly to chat to with folks I know from places like this and occasionally my wife when I am on the road. I have a MySpace account, but I only created it to keep track of what my oldest was doing on-line with hers and it doesn't get used much, in fact the entire profile is a joke and tells nothing about me. I've gotten lots of Facebook invites in the last few months, but I'm just not really in the mood to bother.

Yeah, I never understood the fascination of myspace and facebook. I don't know how people spend hours on their sites. Doing what, who knows. More power to you though since it helps you get through the day. ;)
