facebook ruins lives

I have been a facebook fan for the longest time. After a few months of using it I actually became one of those facebook obsessed people that cant log onto a computer without checking to see if someone had sent, me a message, written on my wall or thrown a rat at me. i even enjoyed the applications and games my current favourite being friends for sale. I loved catching up with old friends or even making friends with the odd celebrity. That was until an 1 hour and 15 minutes ago when I finally encountered the dark side of facebook. I checked the page of my.... my....ex-crush, future smooch, fantasy lover, only to see that he had changed his status to in a relationship, and his profile read that he cant get enough of his new love. Now in the good old days the news would have been broken to me gently like maybe through a friend of a friend or by us bumping into each other unexpectedly not like this. imagine my shock as i cruised his page to see if there were any cute new pics to be confronted by this!! It is so unfair. facebook makes it so easy to keep an eye on people and know what their getting up to. sometimes when i am trying not to call a guy i check their facebook and i get the dose of them that i need. i mean i probably only wanted to call and find out how their day went but facebook means that i dont have to do this. or if i see they're having a stressful day i no the vibe to call them on. OK i admit it, this all sounds kind of psychotic cyber-stalkery but its not at all. Really!! Please let me no if i'm the only one that does this cuz i think its normal. Anyway so i'm slightly heartbroken and i'm going on a date with someone not quite as gorgeous so that i can get my mind off my facebook love. wish me well
