Online communities like myspace, friendster, and facebook kind of annoy me. I realize that many people like these sites, and I’m not attempting to ostracize them (especially since I’m a member of some of these), but I am just very lazy in keeping contact with tons of the people I met through school and my travels and stuff.

It’s hard enough with just email, especially if you have to switch accounts and do the ever annoying “Hey everyone, here’s an address change… let’s stay in touch.” Which really makes me weigh their friendship (because that’s what I do constantly because I’m a jerk) and see if it’s worth the effort of raising my lazy meatpaws to put the new address in. If it’s not worth it, my answer to that email would be “well I guess this person won’t be getting my hilarious forwards about guy and girl jokes, blonde jokes, relationship jokes, and chain letters that you have to send otherwise you are cursed for all eternity.”

But with one of these “new and fantastic ways” to communicate and stay in touch, it’s one more username and password I have to remember, and so many people I have to reintroduce myself to. “Remember me? I sat awkwardly behind you in our English class and said nothing to you… remember that?”

or “I’m the one who used to wear the Hypercolor shirt and then realize half-way through class that puberty, plus increasing hormones, plus color changing shirt based on moisture was a bad idea.”

Ok, enjoy!
