Freedom.

Sometimes, I wish...

...I could climb to the tippiest top of the tallest tree and pluck its leaves and ponder.

...I could run fast and far until my lungs dissolve and my legs melt into the gravel.

...I could open my mouth and sing until my heart bursts and sends a symphony shivering down my spine.

...I could scream until my voice becomes like nails against a chalkboard and bang my head until my vision is nothing but stars and licorice.

...I could take a million color-drenched paintbrushes and splatter a canvas with burning passion until the fire within me subsides.

...I could curl into a black-and-white ball and cry a thousand silver tears until I drown in my own emotion.

...I could sprout an enormous pair of butterfly wings, soar to the nearest cloud, and take a nap in a pool of sky blue.

...I could skip through a valley of dandelions, throw my head back, and laugh at the snow-capped mountains.

...I could cover my face with my hands and breathe between the cracks in my fingers until my head fills with helium and I'm up to my waist in pure atmosphere.

Sometimes, I wish I could live with no limits, only desire; and dream with no destination, only lust.

Facebook hiatus/strike/fast/whatever you wanna call it.

Operation:

 F.reedom F.rom F.acebook

Wait... what?
Yup, it's true. Kati Davis, self-proclaimed Facebook creep/addict extraordinaire, has finally decided to call it quits. And by quits, I mean reduce the amount of time I spend on Facebook to a half hour a day, if that. Which is actually the norm for some people but, sadly, not this girl. It's more like four times that amount, and probably double that amount on weekends. So, in order to reach this goal, I'm going to completely cut myself off from the famous social networking site for an extended period of time.

Seriously?! Why?!? :(
Hang on, lemme pull out my handy dandy list for ya.
-Because there are a lot of other more important things (i.e. school, work, God, college applications) that I need to buckle down and focus on.
-Because it's a constant distraction.
-Because I'm pretty sure my eyes are going to start bleeding and eventually fall out of my head if I don't take a break soon.
-Because it's become a false source of my personal value and happiness.
-Because it's also become more and more a source of misunderstanding, hurt, jealousy, drama, etc. between myself and my friends, and I really don't want/need to deal with that kind of stuff.
-Because recently my life has become eat, sleep, breathe, Facebook, and I want to break the cycle.
-Because, darn it, SOMEONE needs to do it.
-Because, and I know I'm looking a little far into the future, but I really don't want to become one of "those adults". You know what I'm talking about. :P
-Because I've become a slave to my own obssessive compulsive tendency to log into it every time a computer is within arm's length. No joke.
-Because I'm honestly getting sick of it.

B-b-but, Facebook is our only means of communication! D:
Well, if that's the truth, then we probably shouldn't have become friends in the first place. But no worries! If you're genuinely my friend, then you'll find a way to reach me via email, telephone, AIM (I know, who uses that dinosaur nowadays?!), handwritten letter (speaking of dinosaurs, who does this anymore?), texting, or old-fashioned face-to-face conversation. Who knew there were so many different ways of communicating with people nowadays? :O

Sooo... how long is this thing going to last? :/
Dunno. I'm aiming for at least a week of absolutely no Facebooking whatsoever except what is absolutely necessary for educational purposes (i.e. asking Brittany Coleman what the requirements for our AP English assignments are the day before they're due :P ), and checking my messages every once in a while just in case someone that lives in a cave with internet as his/her only means of communication desperately needs to reach me. I'm hoping that by the end of this period of time I will have my priorities in better order than they were before and return much more confident then I was when I left... but we'll just have to wait and see what happens.

So now, I guess the only thing left to say now is...

Operation F.F.F., leggggggoooooooooo! :D
