I think Facebook has more drawbacks than benefits. The Prince is playing about 50 games of scrabble with people scattered all over the world. That's one of the good aspects but sometimes that gets blasted out the way by the vanity it breeds, mainly among 20-somethings.
They're constantly updating their status with exhaustingly boring statements like "Tracey is hungover" or "Mark is angry with his flatmates for logging into his Facebook page and changing his status" or "Crystal took meths - it was wicked man innit".
Plus they have to pepper their posts with exclamation marks !!! - like everywhere !!!!!! - as if they spice it all up !!!!! and make dull lives really exciting!!!!!! and cool !!!!!!!!!
Plus they constantly post new and shockingly vain photos of themselves, pouting and staring into spotlights so their eyes look bright.
Plus the fact you can't remove people from you "Friends" list without them knowing is a problem.
FB whinge over.
Life rolls along a tightrope in a bubble of ok'ness, not happiness, but bearability. Very often the bubble veers off course when an external influence pokes it from one side or other. Then the Prince and I land with a bump at rock bottom again.
The Nintendo Wii has bought a slight semblance of fun back into our lives. But it's all surface stuff. Deep down there are fires still raging.
It would be so good to know how long the rope is and when there might be some clarity. The clouds move in so fast and murky the vision.
Rosie's in the nativity play later (she's an angel again) and then it's Bluewater to Santa's grotto and a burger in Ed's Diner. Classy, me.
