My brain is officially blown

You’ve heard of MySpace, right? (I’ve heard of it, so you must have as well; sorry, that was a stupid question.) Anyhoo, Marin was poking around on it (I assume out of boredom), and discovered that she has a whole bunch of high-school classmates who have accounts there. She’s learned quite a bit about those people.

After trying to figure out how the hell to get in (if someone ever tells you that poorly-designed sites are better because they don’t give you the sense of a slick con-job, or other such nonsense, feel free to punch them in the face for me), I discovered the same thing held true for my classmates.

I thought MySpace was a hang-out for teens? Something about a virtual commons where they could go when their parents wouldn’t let them meet in person?

I thought wrong? (And the idea that I could be wrong isn’t what’s blowing my mind, thank-you-very-much.)

Am I just old-fashioned or something? (I’da thunk that having a blog would be a pretty big strike against that….) Not once in a million years would I have thought hey, I’ll go on MySpace, create an account and try to meet people. The whole idea just seems so foreign to me.

Guess I better get with the times…
