My only link to the cyber world

After much deliberation (and when i mean deliberation i mean getting on the internet and having no place to go) I have finally decided to dive into the world of blogging. I would have started blogging much sooner in my youth but honestly i feel inadequate because my life pretty much consists of me eating and some t.v. watching, I've got a lot going on in life as you can tell.
The ultimate reason I made the big plunge, however, is I decided to give up Facebook for Lent. What is Lent you ask? Well, I having been a catholic for half of my life should be able to tell you all about it, but really I don't think I learned much about the religion my whole ten years, I'm probably one of those people who was a terrible example of a catholic. When i Googled Lent it's supposed to be fasting and praying, but since I'm no longer a Catholic, Facebook will more than suffice.
My non Facebook life has been much harder than i anticipated, I find myself thinking about it a lot and I'm ashamed to say that Facebook is a big part of my daily rountine. Has anyone gotten engaged since I was last on? Did that hot guy add me? Are there any new tagged pictures of me? Those are the questions that haunt me in my sleep and won't be known until Easter. Even though it might sound like I hate life without it there have been some pro's about this situation. I don't waste my life on a website for hours a day, hating that I've been on it so much that my mini feed hasn't even changed. I do my homework a little faster, that is when i resist getting on youtube to search for " Jonas Brothers photoshoots" or " Funny Pranks". Yeah i realize they're not the coolest things to search for but you're lying to yourself if you haven't entered similar phrases into that search box. This time without Facebook will allow me to fufill dreams I've never had time for such as:
- Mastering that tounge rolling skill
-Painting a mural of my first dog Ore in my room
-Getting into crazy shenanigans
-Learning every Harry Potter spell
-Estimating the worth of my beanie babies
- Wear my prom dress around the house
- Reading every Goosebumps that was ever written
- Convince my mom to get an automatic toilet

So don't worry about me, I've got big plans.

  2. I started laughing out loud when you talked about googling Lent, and it didn't stop until the very end. Nicole Noguera, you're a blogging natural!
