No more Facebook for me?

I recently noticed that one of my closest friend's Facebook profile had disapeered. She lives in Portsmouth and so I don't get to see her that often and so relied on Facebook to be the one way I could contact her, as I don't have her phone number. I felt a bit worried about the fact that I couldn't have a quick chat whenever I wanted with her, espesically when I really needed a friend to talk to. But then I came across her Dad's blog, about how they have cut off Facebook from their lives as an experiment because they were becoming "socially retarded" and it's true. I think I am the most socially retarded teenager there is, I can't even talk to people to their faces, I prefer to type to them, and I can't go on living my life like that. There is more to me than what is on my Facebook page. The Biddles are right. So I think I will give it a try, write a letter or phone Chase instead of typing it, meet up with friends for a chat instead of a Facebook chat. Chase's Dad had a great line in his blog that I like, it was something about wanted to actually laugh out loud instead of lol. I want to be active and live my life to the fullest, not hide behind a computer screen any longer. so that's it. From now on, goodbye Facebook :D
