On Saturday night I made the mistake of going to myspace.com and stayed up way later than I had planned. I don’t have an account set up with all my information, but I got sucked into looking at some friends’ accounts and then at people from high school and college (it was sad how many people from CR I didn’t recognize - I don’t know if I believe they all graduated the same year I did). The whole thing got me to thinking - I’m not sure if I want to set anything up on a site with that much information on myself. There’s something to be said for keeping some things off the internet. I’m ok with the fact that not many people read my online journal, and I like that most people can’t find my livejournal on the web unless they know where to look, or happen upon me like some people have. I appreciate that the internet makes it much easier for people to reconnect and stay connected, and I know tons of people who really enjoy meeting other great people via the internet. But I’m just not ready to put out all my information - there are some people I’d love to meet or reconnect with, but also some that I will gladly stay hidden from. Or maybe I’m just getting into a small-town mindset and embracing my isolated environment.
On an unrelated note, I need more posts to read - so either people need to get crackin’ or I need to find some more blogs to read. I have all kinds of work I should be doing and my procrastination is severely hindered when I don’t have anything to amuse me. The chances of me surviving this whole thesis thing depends on it. And I promise fun comments and more posts of my own in return!
