Procrastinating procrastination, on Facebook.
When you need to wash dishes, you cook or read a book, or spring-clean your room. What is Facebook? Procrastinating even from that!
So now you spend the whole day on Facebook commenting on people's photos, commenting on people's status updates, commenting on people's comments about other people's status updates, photos or comments. Instead of doing all the "other" things you do to avoid chores.
I have even started playing a game called "Mall World" on Facebook. And then I don't even do that. I just watch these animated people (who's legs don't bend the way a human's legs should bend) walk across my screen. I will sit for hours watching this.. not doing anything else. If that's not bad enough, I even log on to Facebook and read (real) books at the same time. So while this whole Facebook world is living in peace and commenting on each others lives, Genghis Khan and all his generals are trying to take over the world.
Right now, in my web browser, I have Gmail in one window, Facebook (mall world) in the other, and Blogger: The Art of Procrastination in the last. If I look to my left I can see trees, rolling hills of green grass, birds, blue/grey sky and the Drakensberg through my bedroom windows...
Enough said?
At least I had a good long conversation over the phone with my friend about REAL things. And at least that was a direct conversation, not comments typed and left on each other's Facebook wall. Another awesome thing that is happening right now is a conversation I am having with a friend over smses.. Not as good as talking directly to each other, yet still better than Facebook messages.
This is quite a good conversation.
Let me fill you in:
Jessi: Heyo! How are you? What u doing? How is cape??
AD: I am chilling in the Bosch at a health coffee shop thing-y. Waiting for a friend. Eating a healthy sandwich with healthy ham and cheese filled with healthy peppadews and when that is done im going to njoy a beautiful pot of mate!!!... healthy pot of mate!!! The video went SO well! Can't wait to edit it! So hoe gaan dit in die berge... do.you.have...lovely.weazther.up.zthere?
Jessi:I'm sitting at the table enjoying a healthy bowl of home-made healthy muesli and yogurt. I hit my head SO FRIGGEN hard on Sunday that my whole neck, shoulders and back are MOER sore! I am sunburnt from zi weak-end, alzough i haf to wearr a shjerzey for ze kold weathah we ah aving today! HAMBURGHER!
Jessi: By the way: I'm glad that video went well!! I literally cannot wait to see it! I'm going OUT of my MIND!!
AD: Daar sit 'n ou tannie oorkant my met 'n mond soos Homer Simpson ... pause for effect... when she concentrates she does this weird thing with her cheeks. Sy trek haar wange in, but her lips (aka: cute duck face) stays in the same spot in the universe. Like it doesn't move or stretch.. IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE!... and now she's smoking with, well.. that face. This is me keeping a straight face while screaming of laughter!
JESSI: Hahahahahaha!She is probably wondering why your face is slowly turning red and why your eyes are starting to water while you start moving around in circles on your chair and making noises (secretly trying to stop the laughter from coming out) oh wait, I think I am confusing you with the cat!
AD: She's going blind. She smokes A LOT and she eats REAL freaken weird! I think she owns too many cats and I firmly believe that she's a foreigner... in our galaxy that is!! I'm going to ask for an autograph.
JESSI: SHE'S GOING BLIND???? Did you get her autograph? Is she a hitch-hiker? Did she have a towel with her?
Excuse me while I go buy more pairs of pants for my shop on Mall World...
