I’m an addict. Sadly not of anything cool. I don’t smoke, drink excessively, and I haven’t even played cards in like a month. I don’t even want to play World of Warcraft, which I honestly believe would be less embarrassing of an addiction. Currently I am addicted to mySpace. For those of you who aren’t aware of what this 12 step wannabe program is, basically it’s a facebook clone, where you create a profile and go around gathering other friends like playing cards.
My original intent was to create my profile; just so I could log on and look at other people I know listings. So I do this, put up my standard I’m a hottie drinking tequila pic, and go on my happy way. The next day after waking up, I had 7 friend requests. I was like what the hell. So I investigate my account, and its full of messages from all of these random girls who are like ”You are so cute!” Or “your stomach is amazing”, which although I’m completely aware of these details 🙂 its nice to have them repeated back occasionally.
So now I’m an addict. I would try to stop, but my account is constantly attracting new and different people, and I must say being as socially cut off at the moment as I am, it is quite fun. I only have 2 major complaints. At least once a day a girl messages and is like “I was looking around and I saw you and you looked *insert compliment*”, and basically I’m like that’s cool, but they never have a picture when they do this. So I’m just like its sweet of you to say that stuff, but I’m not going to go out and be flirty with someone if I have no idea what they look like. I know beauty is only skin deep, but man if you’re a “more of me to love” kinda girl I’m prolly not interested being a “I love to run and go out and do stuff kinda guy”. The other complaint is, which can also go along with Xanga, some people have automatically loading media in their profile. So I sit there surfing and all of a sudden some ghetto rap music will start playing on someone’s profile and I’ll have no idea where it’s coming from.
If anyone has a 12 step programs they know of to get me off Facebook and mySpace please let me know. I’m in desperate need of help. I think the only cure I know of right now is actually getting a girlfriend, cause then I won’t give a crap about meeting new people. Ha!
