So much for that

Over the last two years or so, I was suckered into becoming a borderline LJ junkie. I blame the Davis Square community journal, for which I created a username so that I can find out things like, "So who is the best dentist around here?" which, consequently, led me to Dr. Cook, who is the best dentist ANYWHERE, as far as I'm concerned.

A little while ago the sucakge came from myspace, and for that I place the blame on a young woman who is most dear to my heart, as far as young women go. Keeping tabs on her meant checking up on her via this new thing called Internet, in communities like myspace, in which she's fairly active. So I updated some information about myself on this myspace (which is hardly my kind of space), and consequently found that a ton of people I know were suckered into this thing long before I caved, one of them being my brother, which was just odd.

And now, I hold Serra and Brittany (and their vlogging brilliance) responsible for my defeat to Blogger's Hoovering Forces. We'll see where this vacuum leads me.

Here we are again

Honestly, like I have time for another LiveJournal look-alike. They always start like this: A friend signs up, and I say to myself, "well, this is a good friend, I ought to keep in touch, and typing is so much easier than writing letters." and in I go, signing up for yet another online community type thingy.
I think in my former life I was a geek of some sort.
Blogs are great for people like me, so full of opinons and not enough friends who want to listen. Hm. This goes quite well with the Former-geek Theory.
LJ, Myspace, and Orkut have all been disappointing. Here's to Blogger, may you thrive under my skepticism.
