My So Called Digital Life

Today I did the unthinkable - I deactivated my Facebook account.  It is one less thing I will feel the tugging need to check & surely with the 10 minutes gained by clicking "deactivate my account" my life will be more serene because now I can look at Pinterest (even more if that is possible). 

Since the purchase of my magical super duper celly my romantic relationship has suffered.  My manfriend and I don't communicate as much vocally as before. He and I sit in silence while he pushes his iPad and/or iPhone to the far digital limits they may reach and I view cuddly animals and recipes (that I will never attempt) via Pinterest.   We don't laugh at each other or with each other we just show the other one pictures we find on our electronic devices that might invoke a snicker. Even when there is the rare opportunity that we may sit on the couch together and the TV is on - one of us has a fancy gadget in our hands.  And in the car?  Forget it, it's like riding with a ghost. Yes, it is sad but it is only a sign of things to come. 

If any of you out there are gadgety literate but lonely, you are not alone and I know how bad it sucks.
