Friends, Family, Classmates, and Acquaintances

The October 25, 2013 prompt for "Blogging Circle of Friends Prompt Forum"  is
How much of a role does social media (outside of WDC) affect your life? (i.e. Twitter, Facebook, etc.)

I was dragged kicking and screaming into acquiring a Facebook account by one of my brothers. At first I checked my account once a month, if I thought about it. Then I began checking the account on a weekly basis. The next step was checking the account daily. I am now logging into Facebook at least three times a day (I don't know how often I log into Facebook each day). Considering the number of time I log into writing.com (I log into writing.com more then Facebook) and Facebook during the day and night, I have come to the conclusion that I have no life except online.

I will not admit to being addicted to Facebook, while I do admit an addiction to writing.com. I have no social life, in fact, I am considering joining a an online dating site for people over 60. I have not joined yet, but I expect to join in the near future. I do not participate in any Facebook games, but I am a member of a couple of groups on Facebook. I would like to participate in more real world (is that the right phrase for off line socializing) activities, right now the only real world activities I participate in are spiritual. I attend the nineteen day Feasts and Holy Day celebrations.

I just went over to Facebook and did I have been doing for the last few weeks or is it months (the days seem to run together) I got distracted by the post and began reading them. This has happened to me a lot lately, but November and NaNoWriMo is coming. Fortunately, I will not have time during November to do much of anything. I think I will compose a post to let everyone on Facebook know I will not be posting much because of NaNoWriMo.

Friends, Family, Classmates, and Acquaintances:
Please forgive my absence in November,
Do not worry about me
if I do not update on a daily basis;
I am NaNoWriMoing
and may only have time for a weekly post
about my word count.

Be assured
that in December
I will return
to daily status updates.
