It was about time that something like that happened.

I tell you the amount of time that I spend on Facebook a day, or rather, Rose, Sherlynn, Rach and I is rather amazing, and honestly, it was about time some random dude did a study on it. The statistics and a host of other random things. Read it here. But I still like Facebook and I'm still an advocate of it because the messages thingermajigs are like MSN but way cooler.

Firstly, it is in REAL-TIME, this means that I get replies rather quickly especially when I know my dear friends are bored to death with trusts, jurisdictional clauses, way to avoid taxes or some other property legislation.

Secondly, when you leave links on the message boards, a snapshot of what the site contains or a preview of a news article is actually quoted - which does save heaps of time, especially when, for GOD-KNOWS-WHAT-REASON your internet is running at a tortoise's pace.

Thirdly, it's better than email because you can actually have like small conversations (similar to those over coffee) when your friend is almost halfway around the world. Makes not missing someone alot easier.

Lastly and most importantly, it's a good way to keep in touch even though, you're in the same damn university, the same damn faculty, and have classes in the same damn building (bloody tallest building in that area), you stil hardly see each other. It's better than not knowing what's going on with each other!

The world would be a lonely place,
Without the one that puts a smile on your face
So hold me till the sun goes down
I won't be lonely when i"m down

So i got you
To make me feel stronger
When the days are out and the hours seem much longer
I got you
To make me feel better
When the nights are long
It'll be easier together
