I hate myspace

Well, I'm back on freaking myspace. I tried to walk away and leave it behind but the stupid thing pulled me back in. I gave it up last year because I was really creeped out by all the people that could look at my pictures and read what I wrote. I guess this blog isn't much better when it comes to that. But, I think people have to look at lot harder to find this blog than they would to find a myspace profile.

I used to have fun on myspace. I never used it as a tool to meet people and I never added friends that I didn't know. Actually, I didn't add some people that I did know. I just don't understand the need to talk to a bunch of people that you hardly know. What am I supposed to say to them? Joe calls me a "trunk" because I don't "branch" out and meet new people. I don't care, I love my people so what do I need to go out and find new ones for?

The myspace became a hassle as more and more people started to join. Every day I'd get silly, glittery messages on my page just saying hi or a friend request from some random person out in the world. My blog was my favorite part of the whole thing. I liked taking my favorite Sex and the City quotes and relating my life to them. It allowed me to be creative and get all the thoughts out of my head. It just became too much to keep up with.

I just recently got back on to check in on my high school reunion's page. I wanted to look at all the pictures from the events but they blocked it so only "friends" could get in there to see. My girlfriend let me borrow her password so I could check it out. But, while I was on there I saw all these other pages of people I know and I wanted to look at their pictures too. But, most of them are set to private too. So, in order to look at their pictures, I had to sign up. Bam, I was trapped.

So, I created an account but decided not to do anything with it. I didn't want to "dress up" my page and put a bunch of crazy pictures on it and start adding friends. But I did decide to at least create my myspace url. I should say, I TRIED to make my url. I guess there are so many people on myspace now that all the url's are taken. I seriously tried at least 10 and all of them were taken. I'm not talking about common ones either. I tried "absofreakinglutely"- taken, even my dogs' names, roxydaisy, was taken! Then I got irritated trying to come up with something cute and witty to use as a url for a website that I don't even give a crap about!

UGH! So I gave up and came here to my safe haven where I could bitch about it endlessly to everyone who wants to continue to read about it. Sorry! Seriously though, isn't there an easy way for me to spy on people and look at their pictures without having to go through the whole process? Or does that make me one of the creepy people on myspace that I'm trying to stay away from? Hmmmmm....
