Myspace........

So when the whole Facebook revolution came around I wasn’t resistant because I liked the interface, and I had friends that were using it to network with old and new friends. Now this whole Myspace thing isn’t exactly my cup of tea.
The Top Five Reason Why I Don’t Like Myspace:
  1. The interface is messy and confusing…. Nothing has any order and I am all about order.

  2. Everyone and the mother can have an account and they can have access to your information

  3. There are entirely too many people so you really don’t have great search criteria; it is much harder to find people you know.

  4. It is a giant dating service ( facebook was headed in that direction).

  5. The world is obsessed with this website and I don’t think that it will last very long.

I am trying to holdout on the whole Myspace thing even though my entire computer networked family has an account.
So I confirmed today that my neighbor is still crushing on me, and this is definitely not something that I wish to encourage, if fact I am trying to shot him down without hurting his feelings. My mother made the comment a couple of months back that she didn’t know what I could be turning down, so I’m trying to be a little more open with her about the state of my relationships. So I told her about what happened and what my sister had said about the whole marriage thing and my mother said and I quote, “He isn’t on your level”. Hehehe.  So all of a sudden my mother is having jokes. Lately there have been a lot of conversations of this nature with my mother. I think that she is trying to decide if she is ready to start dating again. She seems to have a lot of the same feelings and concerns that I have, so at least I know where I get it from.
I know that I am definitely not going to go back to this neighbor but I am beginning to see the correlations in my life to that of my mothers. I am slowly repeating some of the same mistakes that she has made only because I never fully understood why they were made.

So in a conversation with my mother today I learned that everyone thinks that I’m prissy now. In the past I might have felt bad about this label, but now I don’t feel that way. I think that this new attitude is characteristic of the changes that are occurring in my life. One it’s going to deter people whom I don’t need to associate with in the first place, secondly it will put me in a position to converse with those individuals who can help me make so much more of my self.
Even my little cousin is beginning to emulate me, but she finds herself at odds with the person that she is and the person that I am. She wants to be more like me but is unsure how to go about that. She spends so much time with her brother that she has become a tomboy and she can’t reconcile the differences.
Two weeks and counting until the beginning of the rest of my life….hehehe.
Peaces…..
