I enjoyed this nice, to-the-point read. Glad to see that you take your own advice ;) I agree with kstaxman, reading and writing daily are really important and a necessity.
I also enjoyed your city dream. Sounds like your happy where are you, but I appreciate you mentioning it. I found myself relating to it, probably because I aspire to be the same :)
I think you hit the nail on the head. When I first got FB, I think I was adding every individual I ever came into contact with on there. Now, I find myself trying to clean out the clutter by going on these random "friend removal" fits. I link everything else, like my instagram, to my twitter, so that sort of "stalking' I think is far game. Following on twitter, tumblr, instagram is like being a fangirl, where as if you aren't personally close, following ones FB is like "Why are you in my house?"
