I Am Declining Your Farm Town Invitation

I regret to inform you that I am declining your Farm Town invitation. Please do not assume that I no longer want to be your friend. That is the farthest thing from the truth- even though we have not spoken since middle school. In all actuality, I just do not wish to play an application that mimics farming. Don't be upset. I still wish to read your status updates on Facebook. I just don't want to farm. This letter comes to you as a way to save us both time. Now you do not have to spend the time writing and sending an angry message to me. I know you have a farm to tend- as I can see on my friend feed- and I'm sure that you can understand that I am very busy as well. Well, not very busy... but busy enough. What? I do stuff. Anyways. Here are a few reasons why I am rejecting your Farm Town invitation (all 20 of them that are currently in my notification box):

I do not like farm animals.

Honestly, I find farm animals a little creepy. Although they are very tasty in real life (when cooked at the proper temperature) I must admit my irrational fear of farm animals. Especially pink horses, blue pigs, and purple cows. I never liked farm animals- unless I'm picking them up from the freezer section.

I already have a fiance and a dog.

My mornings are pretty busy as it is. I make sure the dog is fed and walked. I make another pot of coffee because the first was too weak. I eat breakfast, make phone calls, and work out. I make sure my fiance is ready for work, which usually means having to go on a mad scavenger hunt of the house for his cell phone and/or lighter before he is out the door. I do dishes, clean up the messes left behing my fiance and dog... I'm sure you get the idea. So once I do get to Facebook, the last thing I'm thinking about is taking care of a farm. Even if it is a fake farm. It doesn't sound relaxing or fun. The extent of my Facebook use is to click the "like" button a few times and post the occassional status update. I really don't feel like taking care of anything else when I'm on Facebook.

I can- and will likely- become an addict.

I smoke. I drink too much coffee. I eat too much chocolate. I play too many other video games. I've already spent way too much time playing Farkle on Facebook. The last thing I should do is add another possible addicition to the mix. I already have enough addictions to tend to. I don't need to add Farm Town to the list. I would never get anything done if I did.

Facebook Friend, I am sure you understand my reasons for declining your Farm Town invitation. I just cannot fit it into my already allotted Facebook time. Please do not be insulted that I did not help you find the owner of that purple cow or helped you out on your farm. I already have too much to do without a fake farm. I would still love to be your friend. Just not your farming friend.

Sincerely,
Mandi K
