Yay! Not unfriended!
Don't worry, doll. Life goes on without FB. I haven't done anything with my newsfeed in almost two years; in fact, the only thing I use FB for is messaging directly with people. I don't read updates on anyone, and I don't post updates myself. Wanna know what's going on in my life? ACTUALLY TALK TO ME. And if I want to know what's going on in yours, I will talk to you. It's not mean, it's just reality: I don't have time to read about everytime someone buys a shirt, or to scroll past the Ohio State marching band's video 37 times. I have living to do, and I can't do it by living vicariously through my friends.
I think you'll be surprised how much free time you suddenly have when you're not checking the feed. ^_^
