I'm Quitting Facebook! by Katie Rost

For the past two weeks I’ve been doing a detox from Facebook. Why? Because friends, my name is Katie Rost and I have a Facebook problem.

Usually I’m on FB trying to drum up interest in my tv show (Direct Access with Big Tigger) or take political shots at the insanity of the Republican party these days. Of course sometimes I’m just like “Left the supermarket, getting into my car” -- you know, important sh*t like that.

Anyhoo, leaving Facebook is tough. All sorts of people think that if you have deactivated your account that you’ve:

A. dropped them as a friend B. blocked them as a friend

I got several concerned notes from good friends of mine who thought I was dissing them. Funny though, I noticed none of the other 700+ people I’m supposedly friends with on FB contacted me to figure out the problem.... it was only family and real friends. The lesson: Your real friends and family will find your ass whether you are on Facebook or not.
