Bad news about attempted deletions, I’m afraid.

Only for a month. I can see the attraction, but after a while the novelty of it all wears off, and amongst teenagers it's seen as merely a competition as to who can score the most friends. But social networking sites, for purposes of staying in contact with old long lost friends, I have no objection to - but mates you'll bump into at school, it's a bit of a waste of time. I like your blog alot, and I hope you don't mind me placing a link to it on mine. cheerio, angus I must say, when myspace came along, I held off, as long as was humanly possible, jumping on the bandwagon – but sadly I eventually gave in.

And MySpace. I have enough clutter in my life. I got an account because a friend whom I had lost touch with invited me. And through him reclaimed another friend I had lost touch with. Now that I have their current email addresses again, I wish my account did not exist. No meaningful communication takes place there. The entire concept is narcissistic. If anyone has an antiviral to get Facebook out of my life, and my life out of Facebook, let me know. Oh, how I loathe Facebook. And MySpace. I have enough clutter in my life.
