Top 10 Things I Do When I Give Up Facebook in Lent
In honor of Sunday, here are my own coping strategies for giving up Facebook in Lent.
10. Call friends at random and say: “Tom is just hanging out after an exhausting day. Whew! Good to be home! ;-)”
9. (Add, to the friend: “I just winked but you can’t see it because this isn’t Facebook.”)
8. Read a book until I get frustrated by the long paragraphs.
7. Hand out pictures of my kids to strangers.
6. Ask April (my wife): “Is today considered part of Lent?”
5. Update the inappropriate, personally compromising material on my MySpace page.
4. Poke people.
3. Tell people at work: “I friend you. Do you accept?”
2. Talk to my wife and kids until I get frustrated by the lack of control I have over the conversation.
1. Write on my wall. Literally.
