Withdrawing from social activities.

As of lately, I feel as if my level of personal interaction has gone way down. The weird thing is, I have been communicating with a lot more people, but they are all on facebook. I have this large network of what I like to refer to as fake friends. I have been going to work at 6am, and I immediately start listening to my ipod or pandora, at two I get out of work and go to my lab class where I also listen to my ipod. Around five I get done with class, and I run on the treadmill instead of running with a group (which I used to do), and when I get done, I go home and drink PBR while hanging out with my dog and my large group of fake friends. From what I have seen, I am not the only one like this. It is incredibly more effective to find friends on facebook who may be from anywhere on earth, that share your common interests. The chances of me going to a bar or something in Huntsville and actually finding someone I would want to hang out with are pretty slim. My reliance on facebook for social interaction makes me laugh, and also kind of makes me want to take a toaster in the bath. It makes me wish that there as such thing as the Metaverse like in Snowcrash. It would be nice to be able to interact with my fake friends as avatars instead of just messaging back and forth.

I am currently very obsessed with Mumford and Sons.. I can't get enough.
