So yesterday I quit Facebook. For realsies.

This is very liberating.

Now, when I open up my trusty little web browser, I have to remind myself that going to 'www.facebook.com' won't really do anything for me anymore.

I won't be seeing posts from people I hardly know, about inconsequential bullshit that never affects me.

I won't be advertised to by Facebook's partners. Nor will I unknowingly advertise to my 'friends' on behalf of said partners.

And by the way, this is permanent. There is no going back, and that itself is really pretty fucking awesome if you think about it.

I think I had like 120 friends or something like that. Women I've dated, old high school friends, some family members. That's it.

The ones who matter won't mind my absence on Facebook. They will be quite pacified, I'm sure, to keep our communications to the old-fashioned methods of e-mail and the occasional phone call.

So long, Facebook.

You have been unfriended.

No wonder. So that's where you went. I have been looking for you. February what? Do you know my news? I'm getting married to a guy named Joe. You would definitely like him. If we're ever in Denver, we'll look you up!
