Right.
I swear, I never meant to. I would get on a computer for a homework assignment, and my traitorous fingers would instantly type in "www.f" and click on the link that instantly popped up, and before I even realized it, I was staring at my "news feed".
It was kind of embarrassing, actually. I mean, I to find out I frequented Facebook so much that my fingers automatically and subconsciously typed in the address?
On the off-chance I did catch myself, I either had to snap my computer shut and pull a "Joseph" (flee from temptation) or I would find that I had a perfectly legitimate and extremely pressing need to get on my Facebook. (I HAD to talk to Morgan about Halloween and it HAD to be THAT moment. And there simply wasn't ANY other way to contact time: my phone was MUCH too far away.) and so I'd cave.
I sheepishly posted my findings on Facebook, and although very few individuals responded, the ones that did, admitted their own addictions.
"yep. :\"
"YESSS!!!"
"It's pretty bad..."
"yes. GOSH yes, ur not the only 1."

It is interesting that we go to it without thinking. In fact I find when I resist, it almost feels like a tic that doesn't go away until I check at least once when I log onto a computer. Any homework that I have to do on the computer is so much harder than off a book because I let myself get distracted so easily and almost subconsciously.
I had the same response from my friends. They all admitted to being addicted to gmail, facebook, and texting. Once we got on the computer, facebook is always the first site we look at.
I think I've gotten to that point too and I never even realized it had happened. Very scary. Even when I have no reason to be online, I find myself there...staring at Facebook.
Clever post title; you should post that as your status and see what people say
