Social Media is killing my social life! July 8, 2008

Ok, so not really. It’s not like I have much of a social life anyway. I have a 9 month old daughter… need I say more? For me, being able to stay up late enough to watch Saturday Night Live is getting “crazy.” I recently had two Rock Band weekends in which I was up past midnight… I could barely function the next day! Not because of the many gin and tonics (ok partially) but because this little princess can’t handle “real people” anymore.

I mean seriously. There was a time when I go out into the real word and interact with human beings. Now, I come home, feed my daughter, play with her for a while, put her down, then hop on the computer. I have some amazing books I’d like to read (which I’m slowly making my way through). I’d like to actually work out. I need to practice the guitar. Maybe even go out to dinner now and then? But no… no! What do I do? I download Digsby which allows me to IM, twitter, facebook, etc. all in one place. What am I a moron?!? Apparently so.

I was getting so many pop-messages: so and so is now idle, him and haw changed their status, yo mama twittered something really stupid, some Facehole superpoked you, so and so is no longer idle. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh And my ADD brain couldn’t NOT look at the pop-ups. Luckily Digsby allows you to change a lot of those settings, so I finally have it limited to the important stuff (That guy you are stalking has just signed on) hehe.

I feel so weird knowing all the things I know about people. Like once, I knew that a friend of a friend was in Seattle because the person she was with Twittered about it and I was following him. Too much! Do I really need to know all that? Do I really need to know that YouKnow WhoYouAre, just checked in at 1234 Boulder Ave? Freaaaaaaakkkkkkkkkyyyyyy And yet… I check in. I answer “what are you doing right now” (duh, writing this blog). I update my status.

But who gives a shit? Who reads that stuff? Is anyone really even out there? What is this internets stuff anyway. haha Ok sorry… cracking myself up. I’m not a perfect blogger ok. In fact I suck.

But how do I stop? That is… if I wanted to! Is there some sort of support group? I won’t even go into the other many social media sites I belong to. Perhaps the better plan is to suck it up and go with the flow?! Really… quit bitching. This may be the only way to get a date (yea I’m single boys!). *sigh*

Ok… well I need to go reply to a twitter. :)

When I am busy…
You remind me

When I have questions…
You enlighten me

When I am lonely…
You connect me

When I am bored…
You let me play

When I am stressed…
You distract me

When I feel sexy…
You hook me up

Dingle, dingle
I love the sound
that comes around
when gmail’s abound
dingle, dingle
