The most pressing issue of the day

A friend recently suggested that I join Facebook. I was on Facebook at one point, in fact, but it bewildered and slightly irritated me, so I deleted my account. I didn't want to play Scrabble, and I kept on getting things thrown at me, and while I'm working I try not to be online, so I don't have windows open with Twitter, IM, LJ, etc. etc. (Because I find them addictive and I'd play with them rather than work.) So I'm not clear how I'd integrate it into my working day or indeed my life.

But then I know that's just me being crusty and bad-tempered and reclusive, all my least attractive qualities. Not to mention indecisive, so I'm putting it to you, friends list:

[Poll #1421396]

Please feel free to tell me why or why not.

Twitter is out, though.

Unless someone can give me a really good reason.

Yes, the feel of the tiles is lovely and they have letters with which to make words of wonder which are ruined by arbitrary points. My parents have an old set with wooden tiles, and some of the letters are rather faded, but they feel so good in the fingers! And making a symmetrical or other pleasing pattern would be so much more fun. AX on a triple word, pshaw!

Ooh, I bet they have a lovely smell as well. Playing Scrabble this way would be like having an inexhaustible jigsaw, a new solution every time.
