Yes, I'm (happily) single and (relatively) carefree, so I spend a lot of my time on the Internet.
No, I do not spend all that time on Facebook.
Yes, Facebook is open in a tab while I browse other sites. In my book, that doesn't count as being "on" Facebook 24/7. It means I am just available on Facebook most of the time, the way people are available on their phones most of the time.
No, I don't use mobile Facebook. Much.
Yes, I actually prefer using Twitter from my laptop.
Yes, I have accounts on Pinterest, Stumbleupon, Goodreads, Biosgraphy, Cowbird, Medium...you get the idea.
I haven't even gotten started on my accounts on online shops and bookstores...
A working Internet connection keeps me joyfully occupied. I need it to use my word processor, even. (I have a Chromebook.) Since I love to write, that means most of the time I have tabs open alongside the document I am working on. When I get a notification, I check it. Then it's back to work. (Yes, writing is work!)
However, the fact remains that Facebook is where my friend usually pings me whenever I am not responding on Whatsapp, Snapchat or direct SMS, because she knows that's where she is most likely to get an answer.
No, don't rate that on a scale of pathetic-ness from 1 to 10. OK, go ahead, if it amuses you.
Rated? Good. Now multiply that by ten because I'm about to tell you about the sheer number of blogs I have.
Actually, I think I lost track...
Hang on while I go root them out.
How many accounts do you have on different sites? How many of them do you actually use? Yes, that second question is relevant--you didn't think I was actively using a site called "Cowbird", now, did you?
