Perfektly Mary

Where have I been? I have been sucked into the evil realm of myspace. For years now D and I joked about how evil it is and how it is destroying our youth. All the while I was harboring a deep dark secret. I kinda, sorta, maybe, wanted one too. Wednesday night I gave in. What a wonderful world! I found friends that had shunned me in high school because of bad spring break choices…now with just a simple mouse click they have been added to “Mary’s friends” and our history has been erased! For the first time in my life all my categorical (is that even a word?) friends are in one place. 10 years ago I had three groups of people in my life: School friends, family and church friends. Never, ever could they mix. Oh, maybe they would have been o.k. with mixing with each other…but my fear of getting caught wouldn’t allow that. What if my school friends and my church friends compared Friday night to Sunday morning? What if my family met my boyfriends and saw the reality of my “good guy”. Gasp. But now, for the first time..they are all lumped together with their smiling avatars side by side in my neat little myspace box. Oh and another thing…is it sick to now be impressed because the popular girls are normal and will talk to me? Part of me is still like “Ms. Cheerleader signed my yearbook (er, myspace)”
Do you have a myspace? Stop by and I’ll add you. It is of course a popularity contest and whoever has the most friends wins. I guess somethings never change.
