that's my facebook account. Go friend me
then yell at me to get off facebook whenever you see i'm online
I fucking waste my fucking life away and it pisses off and depresses me.
I don't want to be a fucking failure who can't get shit done. It scares me.
I know this is a first world problem. And I'm sorry I'm trying to drag me into this.
But maybe my friends can help me where I am weak.
After all
friendship is magic.
I edited my hosts file and added manual entries for all the major hostnames related to facebook to resolve to 0.0.0.0
I did this for privacy reasons, to keep my browser from being told to access any of Facebook's bullshit spyware iframes / tracking widget thingies embedded in third-party sites, but the same effect would also be useful for completely cutting someone off from using Facebook, which seems to be your desired use case.

I haven't used Facebook in like a solid year, maybe two now. :B It really is a waste of time, and the guilt of "some of these people I have no other contact with" kept me going back. D:
But if somebody sent you a warning, you'd have to be on facebook to read it.
That's like leaving a junkie in an opium processing facility and telling him smack is bad after he shoots up.
Maybe you can write about Twilight trying to recover from facebook addiction? I dunno. It might be silly, but the human brain has funny ways of internalising our problems.
Friends!!

There's a Chrome extension called StayFocusd that does something similar. You might want to check it out.
There's also RescueTime for keeping track of how much time you spend anywhere, and it can install on nearly everything. I've had RescueTime tracking anything and everything I do on my laptop and cell phone for years now. Though it's best feature, the website blocking, is only in it's paid version.
just deactivate your account, its easy, I do it when I spend way to much time there, though now I waste my time on G+

The trouble with Facebook is it's an easy way to get a dopamine fix. It's not usually the most destructive thing to get hooked on, but it's insidious because your own body produces it.
I can somewhat relate, because my own issue with this used to be expressed with videogame addiction. I didn't exactly kick the habit, but rather transferred it to real life. I get the same fix by writing to-do lists and accomplishing as much as possible in a day.
I don't know if that will work, but it's worth a shot. Good luck!
Does sound like you need to grab either software or a browser plug-in to limit your time there.
