So here's a compromise, of sorts. I'm now using Facebook in write-only mode. It's just going to be a mirror of my livejournal from here on out. I'll pop into Facebook from time to time just to check the notifications.
I'm frustrated, because there are so many people I care about that I only interact with on Facebook, these days. Shutting out Facebook means shutting out those people. I don't want to lose touch with anyone, but the only way I can take back the power I've ceded to Facebook is to not mind if I lose touch with people that I only contact through Facebook.
If you don't have my email or phone number, let me know and I'll be happy to share it with you. If you'd like to get together for lunch sometime, I'd love that. Maybe I should talk on the phone more, I don't know. Maybe if I'm not reading Facebook all the time, I'll have things to talk to people about. I don't know. I'm open to suggestions. I'm open to contact! I'm just no longer willing to depend on Facebook for that contact.
P.S. I have no idea what this will look like when it makes the leap to Facebook. Whee.
