It's funny how a person can get attached to something that she doesn't even need/use anymore. I've been trying to limit my profile/networking sites to blogger and facebook. I just deleted my livejournal account about five minutes ago, which I've had about two years, and it took a while because, upon realizing that I won't be able to read mine or my friends' journals anymore, I went over all of them and re-read many entries for...I don't know, a last look? And for the past several weeks I've been telling myself to delete my myspace account, for several reasons. 1) I rarely use it for contacting people, 2) people rarely contact me on it (if they post a comment, lately it's been the "I'm a superpoke pet, play with me!" and all the other random applications), 3) I use facebook way more, 4) random people I don't even know try to add me (it sometimes happens on FB too, but not as often), 5) the bulletin area annoys me, mostly cuz a certain person posts questionnaire after questionnaire of himself, and the questions are always the same, and 6) basically it's pointless for me to have it now.
However, I can't seem to bring myself to delete it just yet. I keep thinking, "what if someone I'm only friends w/ on myspace and not facebook tries to contact me?" (even though most of the people I'm "friends" w/ on myspace are people I don't even talk to or care to share my life with) or "Now I won't know when my favorite bands are touring!" There are, dear child, other ways! Give out your email address, or FB. As for the bands, erm, go to their websites??? Duh.
Perhaps it's because I opened it when I was a freshman in college, and it brings back memories. But not really. I used to use it a whole lot, so maybe I think I'll have withdrawals. But that's doubtful.
Whatever the reason, I will delete it soon enough. Technology just takes over our personalities.
