....I don't spend very much time "surfing" the web because, let's be real, in my free time I'd rather be taking a nap. But when I do, I always have a little routine.
First, I check my ten thousand unnecessary email addresses and find emails that I needed to see a couple days ago. Then I pout a little about how unorganized my life is and move onto facebook, where I never write anything, other than the occasional wall post on a friend's wall. I can also keep in touch with my highschool friennds via facebook, which is very helpful. Sometimes I see that a friend is officially "in a relationship" and I gush a little about that since it's exciting. I also use facebook to get information. since i'm a "fan" of the mercury cafe, they let me know when extra special events are there. since i "like" the always sunny in philadelphia page, I get little blurps about when the new episodes are. I find these things are helpful, and I would totally write down the dates and times if I could find my planner.
Thinking about it, I guess I never really absorb any information during my time on facebook, which is depressing. I skim over people's statuses, and perhaps relish them for a moment, but once I scroll further down, it pretty much leaves my mind forever. "Reading" on facebook doesn't involve any thinking. It's not like after I log out, I think whoa, that status was very intriguing. I think I'm going to think about that for a little while longer and maybe even discuss with some of my peers. That 's much more likely to happen if I'm actually reading a novel or something.
Then I go to sites that I think are fun, like postsecret.com, a stumblupon poetry site that I really like, and AOL to read the latest gossip on the block. Then I dink around listening to some music I like.
summary time-
writing- I do not write anything on the Internet. well, nothing of any importance.
reading- sometimes I read articles I find on AOL news, but generally I just skim for the important details.
watch- well of course I watch funny youtube videos and occasionally TV shows on hulu.
in conclusion-
the time I spend on the internet is basically wasted because I'm not reading or writing anything of any importance. the only exception is when I'm reading poetry blog-like things because they are awesome and help me with my own writing processes. but basically, staring at a computer screen usually ends with me getting a headache and sub sequentially taking a nap.
