I have mixed feelings about Facebook. I created my account 7-8 years ago. I kept my circle very small until fairly recently. I also rarely used it, being wary of Facebook spying on me.

In the past year, I've used it more often. I've found that the friends I am closest to in real life are not the people I interact with the most on Facebook- quite a few of those friends don't even have accounts.

I have found that Facebook complicates things. I've been hurt when I've seen that friends have gotten together without inviting me. Other friends have gotten upset with me for similar reasons. It's also much harder to decline invites -- people can see how busy you really are.

I would love to take a break from Facebook (and the internet) for a week or two!
