Social Media Purge

Okay, so this post isn't really about anything awkward in my life, I'm just going through social media withdrawal. This past weekend, Ben and I decided that we were going to do a social media cleanse, so basically, no Twitter and no Facebook. I AM GOING CRAZY. We didn't list blogging and instagram as social media sites, even though they are, I feel like that would have been too difficult. Here's a list of things that I've done today instead of going on Twitter:


  • Bought a new phone case! (it's from Etsy and it has a giraffe on it!!)
  • Checked the tracking information on my latest Victoria's Secret purchase 17 times
  • Read every single article on yahoo news
  • Watched cat videos on youtube for 45 minutes
  • Ate a shit ton of Subway
  • Wrote a note
  • Shopped for a birthday present for a friend
  • Edited some photos
  • Reloaded Instagram continuously for awhile (I didn't keep track of the time for this one)
  • Drew a picture of a whale
  • Looked up tour dates for NeverShoutNever and realized that they were going to be in St. Paul on Black Friday
  • Tried to figure out how I can get out of working on Black Friday (so far, I've been unsuccessful with this endeavor) 
  • Written this blog post
  • Checked my email 100,000,000,000,000,000,000 times
  • Drew up a tattoo design
  • Texted almost all of my phone contacts
And all this was done in like the last two hours. I swear, I'm going crazy. I SERIOUSLY have a problem so I guess it's a good thing that I'm doing this. Hmmm. Yeah.

    Well since you're my best twitterer (is that a word)? I'll give up twitter for a week too, just to show that I'm supporting you. Not sure about facebook though, but I did give up refined sugar for October if that counts? BTW, nice t-rex video. ;-)

    and by the way it took me 4 attempts to type in the characters displayed so your blog didn't think I was a machine. Just sayin'

    Hahaha. Love you mom. That's pretty sad. I've gotten a few machine generated comments on how I can enlarge my man-hood. I wonder how many times they had to type in the letters ;)
