It's the dang Facebook, I tell you hwhat.

I got rid of mine a few years ago and found it was an overwhelmingly positive decision… too much nonsense like what happened to you, you don't miss not seeing people for a while anymore because you always vaguely know what's going on with them (and when you do see them, you don't have that genuine curiosity of "what the heck's been going on with you?!" because status updates have been telling you).
