One Week off of FaceBook
One week without Facebook.
Eight "Personal Message" Notifications
Fourteen "Tagged You In A Post" notifications
Four "Wrote Something On Your Wall" notifications
Seven "Commented On Your Link" notifications regarding cross-posted LiveJournal posts.
Three people who have come back to LJ in some capacity just so they could interact with me :)
ZERO E-mails, Texts, IM's and/or phone calls from people who felt a need/desire to make sure that the stuff they posted on FaceBook got through to me.
It's *inconvenient* to avoid Facebook, but not at all impossible. I've been laid-up all week with a sore ankle, too, and thought for sure that I was going to just casually start browsing FaceBook again out of boredom, but y'know what? Didn't happen! I even had MORE TIME for all that stuff I'm always so upset that I don't have time for any more!
I wrote stories!
I watched Mystery Science Theater 3000!
I had great conversations with folks in the various communities here on LiveJournal!
I created *content*!
Even though I mostly just sat here all week long, I felt PRODUCTIVE! It's been GREAT!
So now I have to decide... what do I do with FaceBook?

On Facebook in the upper left beside the company logo are 3 tabs. "Friend Requests" "Inbox" and "Notifications."
When someone posts in a thread you have commented it it notifies you in the "notifications" tab. That is what I want on Livejournal.
