I have very mixed feelings about Facebook.

It kind of reminds me of being in a sorority, always on the brink of deactivating, but I never quite got up the nerve to sever ties.

Facebook similarly amounts to a game of choosing your social circles, but with the added anxiety that the whole world gets a peek.

And, frankly, that gives most of us the heebie-jeebies.
