Earlier this summer, I got a Facebook. To be honest, I have never wanted a Facebook, and never really saw the point, but I made an account just to fulfill my curiosity. The first day, I just stared at my page wondering "So what happens next?" until I got bored of trying to figure it out. The second day I spent hours on it, checking it every 10 minutes, still wondering what the big deal is. By the third day, I realized that Facebook is just as stupid as I had predicted. Why do people like it so much? Even my mom has an account. I feel like I should like it, but I just don't see the value in wasting hours of my precious time on some mindless computer website designed for the lonely, when I could be doing something like, say, blogging. I've explained this thought to many Facebook users, and they argue that it's a good way to keep in touch with friends, and to know what friends are doing. And yes, I agree, especially during the summer when you don't see your friends every day at school, it's kind of nice to hear about your friends' vacations to Europe or wherever they go. But honestly, I don't care that Suzie is "sooooooooo bored", or even that Oscar is "eating sushi!". (I don't have any Facebook friends named Suzie or Oscar, but you get the point) So what's the big whoop? I've yet to find a post about something worthwhile. If you happen to enjoy the wonders of Facebook, whatever floats your boat, I guess. Personally, I have better things to do.... but I can't explain why I'm constantly logged on...

I am right there with you. I do not have a Facebook, and I refuse to set one up. However, every now and then I want to look for an old friend or check for something that you can only get to through a Facebook page; that is when I borrow my mom's page!
