I'm back?
So it's been what? Pretty much over a year now...what can I say...myspace does that to you I guess. It's funny.. I had totally forgotten all about lj until I recently overheard someone talking about it in a conversation. I decided it wouldnt hurt to go check up on it...Not that anyone would really take the time to actually read all this (let alone visit lj anymore),I find it quite comforting resorting back to what I used to think was the coolest thing ever.
Lets talk myspace
Myspace. Theres not much you can really say about it. Only that it is the worlds biggest online community ever. Why the craze? I've had a myspace for a little over a year now and have found myself totally addicted to the thing. I dont understand what it is about it. In fact, while many people are convinced that myspace is the best thing in the world, I'm here to tell you that fact is a lie. I sat one day with my boyfriend and we discussed the pro's and con's of the thing. (yes btw, I am still with that same boy that my last entry talked about over a year ago ;)). It's great that people have found lost friends and other aquantences through out myspace, and it is a good way to meet new people. In fact, I've become "friends" with many people this school year. Now here's the con. While all this is great, I've noticed many shady things about this thing. Myspace is the reason why there was trouble between my bf and I. There are many miscommunications through this online "meet and greet". I've noticed flaws in my social life because of this thing. I sat down one day staring into my yearbook and noticed that as I ran my finger through each picture, the statement "dont hang out with them anymore" overplayed in my head over and over again. I'VE ACTUALLY CUT MOST OF MY TRUE "SOCIABLE" FRIENDS OUT OF MY LIFE FOR THIS WEBSITE! yeah...that's great that I have 400 friends on myspace, who by the way, probably only added me for the same reason I added them....to feel better about theirselves. Who can deny that they wouldnt want to feel popular...instead, it did for me just the opposite. "NICE GOING BROOKE!!!" I like how it took a whole year for me to come to that conclusion. I commend those of you who have stayed away and out of the clutches of "myspace"...and at the same time......I envy you. With all this talk I'm getting quite tired.
There's my complaint...and I still have time to get on myspace before bed...
