No Facebook November

Hey all! I'm back! I didn't get abducted by aliens, kidnapped by kangaroos or poofed away by poodles. I have, however, become a very busy, very tired college student (yay for college!!!). So I'm terribly sorry for all my eager fans out there (sarcasm, I really don't have any fans at all) for not having a new post sooner.

In a smooth transition from the topic of my intense busyness to the topic of... my intense busyness (creative, right?), a couple of friends and I decided to give up facebook for all of November (and possibly until finals are over in December). Yes, I am crazy. But as we sat around talking, we all realized that we never read for fun anymore. We read plenty for homework, but I haven't actually read more than 2 chapters of a book for fun since coming to college. Which made me really sad. Facebook has consumed so much of my time lately, it's time to cut it out completely for a while. Because of facebook, I've realized that I've been spending less time reading for fun, spending time with God, updating my blog (once again, sorry!) and occasionally my schoolwork suffers too. Oops.

So this evening I will post my farewell and log off. If you need me, I'll be spending more time making real relationships, or reading a book. Maybe I'll be spending time with God, or I could even be writing a new blog to post. But whatever I'm doing, it will be more productive than sitting around waiting for someone to update their status or informing the world that my flipflop just broke (yes, that is my current status).

Man, it's good to be back to Pure Joy. It's good to be writing again. It's good.

P.S. Happy Halloween!
