I’m the same. If I have too many appointments banked up in front of me, I get a feeling of being trapped, and the only way out is to cancel one or two.

Kim and I have furious rants about Facebook “friends” and how artificial all that stuff is. It was a very clever of them to use that terminology really – damn co-opting of language!

Yeah I wonder about the people with 300 friends – your wall must update so often you miss nearly everything!

I feel anxious if I don’t get ‘me’ time for a few days in a row because it’s the only time when I can relax.

Don’t even start me on the Facebook friends thing, I have a friend who I’ll call Julian (his real name) who will add anyone. I, on the other hand, will only add people I’ve actually met.

I don’t want to be the Facebook friend nazi I sound like though. It’s simply a matter of different ideas on what Facebook is for, neither of them invalid.

I know what you mean. Though I barely have any life, I do sometimes find myself feeling sore at time taken away from “me” time! It’s pretty awful really. Maybe the internet is breeding us all to be more antisocial.

I saw a xmas card this year, it reads “Happy xmas facebook friend*” with the * furtherdown saying “(*but not real friend)” says it all!
