Houston- I Have a BLOG...

So, I recently read somewhere that not having a blog is akin to not having a telephone. I don't know that I agree with this arguement wholeheartedly, as I think those without a Facebook account are much worse off. However, I figure it's about time that I get with the times, technolgically speaking.

I resisted Myspace for the first year it was available, thinking that posing half naked and getting in touch with the people I hated in high school were not for me. Shortly after creating my account, I was a full-fledged addict. I was on Myspace all hours of the day and night, pimping my profile, stalking even people I didn't know, and posting retarted comments on my roomie's wall while she was sitting right next to me. And then, the viruses happened, and Myspace started its downward spiral.

Surprisingly, I've always had a Facebook account. Lifetimes ago, when you could only sign up if you were in college, I registered with my FIT address and began to grow my network. I signed into Facebook rarely because A. it wasn't as fun as Myspace B. all of my friends went to other schools (or didn't go at all,) and it looked pretty pathetic that I had like 5 friends in my FIT network and C. I just didn't get it. And then, the unthinkable happened-Everyone became obsessed with Facebook. Bye Bye Myspace. When I say everyone, I mean it seems like the collective world got together oneday and decided that they were no longer going to use Myspace, and Facebook was the new dictator of Social Networking-land.

Needless to say, I was pissed off. I didn't know how to use anything, I missed Myspace and what the hell was up with the status?! I don't want anyone knowing what I'm doing every second of the day. And, who the efffff cares that
Dick just woke up.

Dick is getting dressed.

Dick just went to the bathroom.

Dick walked three feet

Dick is a moron

The only status that I would like to see from people like that is Dick just killed himself.

While I still loathe those people that have enough minutes in their day to update me on every single action, I now know how to use Facebook enough that I can actually block these people. I have Facebook on my BlackBerry, I update my status at least once a day, and I definitely still get excited to see that I have 5 new notifications when I sign on.

So, I'm going to give this blogging thing a try. I'm not really sure what it's going to be about just yet, so we'll have to wait and figure that out together. I survived the disappearance of AOL, the Blackberry upgrade, and weining myself off of Myspace with the help of Facebook. So, I'm pretty sure this blogging thing won't be so bad.
For starters, this post was a lot easier to figure out than sending a BBM Pin request- it still gets me everytime.
