This sucks.

Wow. I really thought it was going to be easy.

It's actually pretty hard. More annoying than anything. The world is no longer at my finger tips. I get frustrated everytime I realize I am checking my phone just to check Facebook! My mother in law wanted me to send her a picture of the dress I am wearing to a confirmation tomorrow and didn't realize I couldn't because I don't use Facebook!

Do I miss it? A bit. For what reason? It's not so easy to share information with people. I have to relearn all the ways to do it. It's not hard but not obvious in a world where social media is your direct link to society.

I was tempted to go through Jason's Facebook to see if anyone had posted on my wall.. But I resisted. That would be considered cheating. So I didn't do it. But I did wonder how much I was missing. How many notifications I must have at the moment. Did I miss any important messages? I have to remember I am the only one in my world right now who is not "on Facebook". Will they realize that and call me or email me instead?

The idea of not being able to be up to date with people's lives and updating my life events isn't that stressful but the idea of having to relearn ways of communications all over again is. It's all put there available to us but obviously we pick the easiest, simplest and quickest way. In my case Facebook. I have to learn to pick up the habit of thinking that the first way of contacting someone is by phone. That's hard, considering I haven't spoken to a lot of people by phone in a long time. Will they recognize my voice? ( I can't help but to giggle st the thought.) Would it be awkward? I think so, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to try. I'm not sure I'm up for the challenge quite yet but maybe that will come up within the next couple of weeks.
