Spring Cleaning Facebook
I have started getting a little bit of "Spring Fever" lately. With "Spring Fever" I always get the typical "Spring Fever" symptoms, wanting to plant my garden, open up the pool and of course, Spring clean! Since I live in Colorado, starting a garden in March is not a very good idea, especially since March is when we get the most snow. So, to ease my "Spring Fever" symptoms I have decided to do some Spring cleaning. I have been getting rid of things I don't need and cleaning in spots that sometimes get neglected. Last night I could not sleep! Sunday was the start of "Daylight Savings" and that has really messed me up! I found myself wide wake at 1 am. Since I really couldn't do much with everyone asleep I decided to check out the Internet. I naturally went to "Facebook" to see what all my friends are up to. No one was up this late so I had no one to chat with. A few weeks ago one of my friends on "Facebook" posted that she was cleaning up her account and getting rid of people that are more stalkers than friends. Although I don't think I have any stalkers I started thinking about the people that are listed as my friends, and are they really friends or mere acquaintances. I decided to clean up my account and only have friends that I really associate with. I noticed that I had lots of friends from high school and even from past church wards that I don't really ever speak to anymore and they never message me to see what is up in my life. I must say that by deleting them it was not a mean thing. I still like them I just don't find that we associate any more with each other. I have come to think that for some people "Facebook" is all about who has the most friends, kind of like a popularity contest. I noticed that I had several friends on my list that in high school they never even gave me the time of day. Now they want to be friends, weird. Not all of the people that I deleted I felt that way about but there were a few. I challenge anyone that is reading this post to do the same, "Spring Clean" your "Facebook" account! I bet half the people that you delete will never even notice.
