My love/hate relationship with Facebook

I haven't posted anything on my Facebook wall since October 19.  It was a purposeful decision I made back then to stop posting cold turkey.  In fact, the last post I made was a video lampooning "Ugg-itis" or something stupid like that.  Basically it showed how fashionistas hate Uggs because they are so ugly, but can't stop wearing them in the winter because they are so warm.  It's a catch-22.  Well so if Facebook in my opinion.

I hate logging in to see how "great" everyone is doing.

"You got a huge new house?  Wow!  I'm so happy for you!" (secretly thinking... I hope it has termites!)

"Oh look, you got married!  Congratulations!" (my wedding was sooo much better!)

"You're expecting!  You look so great!"  (I CHOOSE not to have children.  And boy, look at all of that disposable income and free time I have!)

You see the pattern and problem here.  I'm dying to know what's going on in the lives of people I haven't spoken to in 10 years, but I HATE seeing what's going on because I'm a competitive person by nature.  So I'm hoping that I'll be able to quit Facebook completely by the end of the year.  For awhile, I was only logging on once every 2 or 3 days.  But now I'm back to logging on 2 or 3 times a day.  I will quit eventually, I just need to make sure I go out with a bang.  Like losing 30 pounds and posting a bikini pic, or buying a mansion in Great Falls, putting up the pics and posting "PEACE OUT BITCHES!"
Or maybe I should just fade into oblivion since I'm sure those acquaintances don't care either way.
