Myspace

Last year, I was talked into getting a myspace of my own. At 38, I felt a little silly, but you would be shocked at how many people that ‘aren’t teens’ are on there! I love it, its like your own personal little slice of your life. Mine goes back and forth to showing my rebel rocker side, to showing my flowery spiritual side. I can’t ever get just one theme going….I guess that’s because, that is who I am, a split between two people, a constant battle between good and evil – haha – okay well maybe not quite, but…..I do enjoy irritating people with my ever-changing theme songs, from the Doors, to Contemporary Christian artists, to Top 40, to Cartoon themes, to Heavy Metal. I have a blast…. one of the things that drives me crazy, yet intrigues me as well, are all the quizzes. Its like the “slambook” of my youth…How many of you remember the slambooks? They were these handmade books with lined school paper stapled together, with a different question on each page “first kiss, favorite movie, color, etc”. You put your name on the first page, and then you answered the questions, and passed it around, until you had this book with 10-20 friends’ favorite things and most intimate details in it. It was great, until we started getting old enough to blackmail friends with it. “Lonnie likes you, she wrote it in my slambook.” Oh, we women are so cunning at 13….My myspace buddies (usually either my 16 year old stepdaughter OR my 23 year old niece) send out these questionnaires, with everything you could possibly ever imagine on it to ask. They’re pretty fun sometimes, other times they are way too juvenile, but at least you find out a little something about your friends and family. Anyways – get yourself a myspace! Put cute little Hello Kitties on your theme! Choose “Ice, Ice Baby” as your music! Then add me, myspace.com/girliemama
