Can I Survive a Social Media Hiatus? We're about to find out...

When I see a mall kitten - I need to share it with you.
When my plate of food looks better then Brad Pitt in Legends of the Fall, I take a picture, and I share it.
When I learn that something is on sale somewhere, I tell you.
When I make fun of my friends, or they make fun of me, and it makes me keel over and die with laughter - I turn that joke into 140 characters of pure, retweetable gold.
Bake a pie? Better put it on Facebook.
Did I go away over the weekend? Well, you'll not only know about it - you can see it on my Facebook album, Google + profile, or follow the entire weekend, play-by-play through my Twitter account.

So that being said....

I'm taking a break.



FOREVER YAM.
My need for a break also happens to coincide with the fact that I will be on vacation and a work trip for the next 2.5 weeks.  I figured this was a good time to enjoy life, and keep it to myself.  No BBM updates, no minute by minute photos of people wearing funny shoes, or me explaining every reality tv show and spoiling things for people around the world.  You can rest easy, my worldly tv junkie friends - I will no longer be there to remind you how hot Jeff is on Big Brother, or how Love in the Wild may be the best thing since sliced sashimi.
It's not the people of these websites.  The people are amazing.  I have met so many amazing people, and on Facebook I continue to connect with my favourite people on the planet - but seriously, no one needs to know what I am doing on a daily basis.  Fact being, I'm not that interesting.  I do appreciate the people who think otherwise, but lately I feel like I have run out of things to say.  I'm not complex, and so basically I have gone through everything in my brain and right now it is completely empty, instead of only partially.

So good bye, social media.  I will miss knowing what someone I knew for 1 year of my life in kindergarden is doing on Friday night, and I will miss #thoselongasshashtagsthatmakemekeepcomingbacktweetaftertweet.

In word's you will better understand: ttyl.

I hope the next two weeks go by fast because your tweets are entertaining, thoughtful and downright enjoyable! But everyone needs to take a break from things. :)

dear candice: i read one of your blog posts. sincerely, derek. #blerst

also, in junior high i demanded everyone refer to me as 'tristan' so people would associate me with brad pitt in LOTF and women would be helpless against my charms. naturally, it didn't work.

ALSO also, we'll miss you. or at least everyone else will.

As this was not written entirely in #Hashtaganese (a language of which I am fluent) I can barely understand. That being said...I'm also too busy having sex with my imaginary bear-in-the-woods-boyfriend *pulls up pants and comes out of bushes to eat guilt melon and meatsa* #SeeWhatIDidThere #KeptTheInsideJokesGoingOutsideOfSocialMediaSites #AndTheySayItCouldntBeDone #OkayNoOneReallySaidThat #ButYouGetTheIdea #AreYouBackYet #MyBoobsMissYou #AlsoIsItMyBirthdayYet #CanWeHazCake #ImThinkingABigPenisCake #NoTooMuch #SoJustBallsThen #WeWillBrainStormWhenYouGetBack
