Getting Hooked...

Okay, I don't know if it's just this month's flavor of the month, or if I'm really getting addicted to this.

I have a Myspace account, a Friendster account, AND a Facebook account now. I find MySpace a bit childish for me, but I have a very good friend who invited me so I figured what the heck. But I can't figure how to do anything on the site. Friendster I joined because I have a bunch of filipino friends who use it (don't ask, long story). Apparently, most of these sites are specific to different types of communities. For example, MySpace seems to be popular with gay guys. Friendster seems to be used by filipinos a lot. And Facebook is apparently the site of preference for Australians and Puerto Ricans.

Maybe it's just the people I know fall into these categories. But anyway, I'm finding people I haven't heard or seen in YEARS. It's kind of fun, actually. But I feel very... um ...self-conscious that I'm getting old for this.

I don't know why. Technology is not reserved only for teeny-boppers. And the people I have found are all my age or older. So why do I feel inconspicuously old on the internet?

Anyway, I will keep you updated on whether this is another passing craze for me...

Curiously, the first thing that I posted on my wall at facebook (account that I opened because of you and which, by the way, you will be held guilty forever) was that I am too old for that thing. By the way, I am too old to use myspace, I only found youg people on my space and can't either figure out how to do anything... So facebook is so oldy friendly...hahahahaha!!!! Por aquĆ­ paso a leerte a menudo....Pero no tengo la estamina para llevar un blog....
