Jessica Brown is quite clearly sat at her computer on a Friday night.

My life is on a screen. Isn't that a weird thought? I'm very aware that the subject is a little bit out-dated and has been talked about enough already...but to what extent does technology affect our lives? Okay, I've already accepted the fact that we all document our every waking thought to 300 plus people online. But I'm sure you either figured this out already, or read it in some witty 'I'm not complaining but really I am' article.
But as I write this blog post, I have two people talking to me on Facebook chat. I'm in the house with my housemate (believe it or not), and if she started talking to me right now, I'd probably mutter a 'yeahh' and try to make it sound like a convincing answer. However, when I know someone's said something to me on Facebook that I haven't read, I simply can't concentrate for the life of me.
Anyway, on to the point that I'm trying to make. So Facebook may put potential employers off you, and it might take over your life. It may even be responsible for a 'lol' accidently escaping your mouth when you find something funny. But above all else, can it harm your love life?
Until recently, I didn't have to worry about this. However, as having a meaningful relationship with nothing more than my Starbucks mug and my computer, I'm starting to wonder. Back in the good old days, people would go out on a first date and actually learn about the person they're sat opposite. 
If I was to go out on a date tonight, the victim/man could find out enough about me for there to be no point in a date at all. He could see my friends, my family, my dodgy 16 year old hair cut...even my tattoo. He'd even see my status when I got home, saying what a disaster the date was because everything I said he responded with 'Yeah I know'.
Think about it - one of the main forces behind attraction is mystery. It's the chase, and the curiosity. But that's all right there on my Facebook page, and on here.
For most of us, Facebook is an entanglement of friends, family, and past relationships. But with such transparent lives, it's harder to keep things in the closet...drunk photos for your parents to see...a new relationship for an old one to see...
Ironically, in my opinion, the world of social networking may be a malevolent force towards our social lives. I'm just thankful that my Farmville's still a secret, talk about social suicide...
