The Suck Hole That is MyCrack MySpace

Anyone else have a MySpace page? I set one up and check on it occasionally. Even after my husband made fun of me and asked me how old I was. Then I set up this blog and that was that.

Last night though I decided to check on MySpace. See if anything interesting popped up. Check my profile. Mark was playing softball and the kids were in bed. I had papers to grade for that day's school work, but which would you rather do? Grade papers or waste time on the computer? I opted for the computer.

I logged on and updated and such my profile. Then I clicked on some of my friends to see if anything was new or changed. Then I realized once again why I try not to go to MySpace. Once you click on a friend then you look at their friends. Then from their friends, you find friends. And so on. Good Lord. It is like this never ending connection of people and you keep clicking and clicking until you are so far gone from your original page you do not even know how you got there.

What began as an innocent enough 30 minute or so look into Mycrack MySpace, turned into about an hour and a half. But you could spend hours and hours there, clicking and reading about any number of people. I found many different people I went to high school with. Most of the people I went to high school with, I also went to middle school with, some elementary school with. Most of these people I have known since at least twelve. Some even longer. How amazing it was to see them grown up and with kids.

Today, if you are reading this blog, and you are addicted to Mycrack like me have a MySpace page, let me know. Leave a comment. (anyone can leave comments, not just people with Blogs.) Especially if you went to Raytown South High School. Leave me a quick note. Now, let's see if anyone does.............

I have a MySpace page....and long-abandoned ones on Orkut and Friendster.

Most of the MySpace profiles just make my eyes hurt, but it is kind of fun to look up random people.

First time comment-I have a Myspace. I honestly can't go there for the reasons you listed. I spend too much time there.

Oh, followed from Amanda's to Karries to link after link and came here.

Sometimes There Are No Words

Last night I met a new friend. Let me preface this by saying I have made exactly ONE new friend in the last ten years. This makes number two. My Babycenter and Blogging friend Amanda , was having a conference in KC. We made plans to meet up. I felt a bit odd. Here I was making plans to meet someone I only knew from the Net. But Mark thought it was perfectly great and even said for me to stay out as long as I wanted. He said it was not as if I was meeting up with someone I saw often. Stay out and talk and have fun. So I did. I made plans to meet with Amanda. I knew we had a lot in common. Both from the board and from reading her blog. I knew she was someone who if she lived closer to me we could hang out. But I was a bit apprehensive. Here was someone who only knew me through the computer. So many what if's , right? Mark was actually the one who said I should meet with her, if only for a little while. So, I picked Amanda up at her hotel and off we went to Fooleries. Great place to ...

Why Choose It?

Judy posted a comment about being jealous at two weekends away from the kids. About how she figured it would be a long time before she got that chance. I have to admit, I thought better her than me to have the new baby. After our two weekends away and Mark joking that it was his ploy to convince me to not have anymore, I have to say.....I think it worked. After thinking about it and being able to get away so easily because the kids are bigger, I could not help but think, why go back and do it all again? If you had a choice between going out of town for the weekend or being stuck, tied down to a newborn who was feeding from your breasts every two hours and waking every three ,which would you choose? To which one might say why ever have kids at all.....fine. I have TWO. I have done it TWICE. Not only that, but for anyone who cares about it, I have one of each. One is almost seven, the other almost three. Granted Davis is not potty trained yet, but he does change his own diaper sometimes...
