The dark side of the internet

12 October 2006

I resisted getting an account on Myspace for a very long time, mainly as a moral stand against the horrific web design that people inflict upon me when I go there. I’m also not in great need of networking to get my music heard by the masses, because I have no music. Sure, I make a lot of noise sometimes, but I’m not actually a recording artist. Neither am I a teenage girl who wants to share too much information with dodgy people and write OMG WTF LOL!!!! too many times with a complete lack of irony.

But then [brag] a musician friend [/brag], Arnulf, joined Myspace and there wasn’t much I could do on his page (like tease him) without signing up to the damn site. I put it off and put it off and then tried to sign up yesterday. Bastard site wouldn’t have me. I know not why. Maybe it could sense my scathing?

Then today [brag] another musician friend [/brag], Marlene, sent me the link for her page and so I had another go at signing up. Suddenly, I was good enough for Myspace and was making my own page. And, I hate to admit it, but it was kinda exciting when I had my first two adds.

Ugh, next thing you know, I’ll be using a PC.
