In a life buzzing with technology, it is not hard to become emotionally and physically attached to the cyber space around you. For me, It is more of a social network that I am obsessed with. It is an addiction that needs to be fixed at all times of the day. Oh yes, of course it is Facebook. I wake up, I check Facebook, I go to bed, I check Facebook, I get home, I check Facebook, I go out, I check Facebook (on my cell). I was never truly aware of my problem until it was pointed out by my beloved boyfriend, who is utterly against it. I can't help it, I want to be actively involved with what is going on, on there at all times. How is being too involved in Facebook a problem? Surely it is better than having a drug addiction or have some other unhealthy obsession that could harm others.
I just really enjoy looking at my friends photos and who has been commenting on their walls and just generally what everyone is up to. I do however hate all the applications, updates about mafia war and whatnot, and mindless dribble on their status updates. Nevertheless, I get so drawn in by the availability of Facebook, it is right there for the taking and for my taking. I can check it at all times. Even if I'm at university, sitting in the library trying to write an essay on “How pornography is a culture and how that has shaped the twentieth century.” (A History paper!) I'll find my mind wander to Facebook. Why have I let my addiction get this far? I do not know. Maybe it is that everyone is there. Friends I used to work with, friends who live overseas, friends who are too busy to catch up... the line is endless. It is my daily inspiration on life.

So I would have to say, yes, I am obsessed but no less or more than anyone else in my opinion.

See you online!
