To my dear friends: No offense, really. I am just tired of all the random requests to join something I have no interest in. I get them from sites I really enjoy and it's getting on my nerves. I've blocked the application. I've blocked the random people asking me to join. It's just... dude. It's an application. A game. *sigh*

The worst thing that Facebook (and now Twitter) could have done is allow the status to be manipulated to show causes/games/applications. I get embarrassed when Raptr posts too many of my updates. To have something post every movement is just ridiculous. I use these sites to keep in touch with friends, chat and occasionally meet new ones. I DON'T use them to announce that I've bit someone's neck, took a hit out on another person's status or dug a garden for my imaginary farm. I don't announce that I've saved a tree, supported a cause (except once... and that was by accident) or even made a vote. While you may be assaulted with descriptions of my phlegm, my emotional status during PMS or what XBox 360 game I beat (WOLVERINE FTW!), I draw the line at using my status to tell you about something so obscure that you will have to join it to understand it. Except PMS. I don't expect any of my male friends to understand it. Fear it? Yes. Understand it? That's what chocolate and roses are for.

My never ending fascination with online silliness continues...

Anyone close to me knows my obsession with cyberculture and memes. One of my favorites was the 100 Things About Me. I did my own 100 Things a while back. At first it was fun. Towards the end it was a bit tedious. When it was over I was kinda sad. It was a way to list personal bits about me and with those bits came memories. A mini walk through my life as it were. I clicked on my page to see what I had written and decided to update a bit. I'm still not happy with how I phrased it, so there is more work to be done. I clicked the link to the original 100 Things page and was surprised to see it was gone. It's not that I expect web pages to live on forever... but this one was something I would have hoped to stay up a while longer. It's funny how you can learn more about a person in one list than 100 posts. I hope the 100 Things posts live on in spirit. There's always new people to the web and with them comes new experiences.

PS: I was writing keywords and wrote 100-thongs. Imagine all the disappointed people who would have come across this page on a search. HAH!
