So Bad, It's Gotta Be Good

One too many negative media stories about MySpace finally convinced me to signup. My thoughts thus far are mixed. I do get the crack-like quality that so many speak of. But it also seems filled with lots of hookers and various other scams and hucksters. It's relatively interesting to look for 2-off and 3-off connections. I found this guy whom I went to college with; he was one funny dude. Good guy as I recall. I don't really care for the put-a-friend-on-the-list / send-a-friend-request / take-a-friend-off-the-list game. It seems more childish than necessary. I dislike it too because for some reason I am by nature suspicious of those who offer the salutation, "friend," so eagerly. I hate the fact that 19 out of 20 profiles don't fit the screen. And of course the grammar and punctuation bring me nearly to a fit. I guess I'll be pointing people from here to there, and, perhaps more frequently, from there to here. That's a dating site, and this is -- well, this is whatever this is. Typing practice. My diary. Proof of borderline technological know-how, creativity, and personality. Opaque window to my thoughts. Something to do when my personality has been chemically altered.
