ok then...
So I've had a MySpace for like FOREVER - I made it to monitor my daughter's use, and then became the watchdog for all her friends as well. This is good, because before I started doing that (and they KNEW someone was watching) they were being stupid, putting too much real info along with lies of age and inappropriate photos trying to be all sexy - so I'm glad I did it. But to be honest, the whole fad confounds me. I hate these pages. They are confusing and jumbled, there is no rhyme or reason to what's there, and to get anything meaningful you have to dig through tons of what is at times pure retina-burning crap. The comments dont' make sense because someone leaves me a comment on mine, then I leave them a comment on theirs, and it's disjointed and makes no sense later on. However, it's "in", and I'll be damned if I'm not going to let Kelsey reach out and explore while being safe.
Anyhow, I've had one forEVER, and yes I have some friends on there, Moosies and sorority sisters and coworkers past and present, as well as my neice, daughter and her multitude of friends who I've 'adopted' - but I never really saw what everyone was saying about it, all the dangers and such, people trolling it and so on.
Then Kelsey redid my layout, and suddenly within the past day or so I have friend requests from guys all over my area, comments and messages talking about my picture, my profile, wanting to friend me (I mistakenly thought one guy was someone else and added him...it's so weird, who goes and just friends a total stranger??), basically hitting on me over the computer as a first impression.
That, my friends, is scary, and creepy. I can just delete it and laugh at it - but holy moly, I can see how teen girls can get swept off their feet by the crap I'm getting now, which I know is just a total line of bullshit meant to make me swoon. Pathetic.
Snowed last night, very pretty. Nephew was great yesterday, it was fun to sit down and eat with him as part of the group, usually I do not see him without his brother as well, and there's a huge difference in personality one on one, even at 6 yrs old. He's a firecracker.
Debating going out tonight to meet my sorority sisters at Chili's - it's kinda in the heart of a city I don't feel great going to alone at night, so I'm not sure - but then again, I'd like to see these women for more than just the 5 hrs at the banquet tomorrow night, given that so many of them are flying in from all around the country to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the founding of the organization...wonder if my old letter sweatershirt still fits? LOL
