okay, okay. I know its like, only the most popular online service EVAR (followed closely by flickr or livejournal, I would imagine) but can I just say for the 50th thousand time...I DO NOT get MySpace. oh, I understand and applaud the concept...just not its popularity. it is soooo NOT user friendly to me.

this will be the third time I have opened up a MySpace account...and while in the process, I totally remembered why I gave up the first two times. I spent twenty minutes trying to figure out how to update my user photo. I spent another twenty minutes trying to figure out why my page looked so damn weird. I finally realized that my "Home" Page wasn't my...Home Page. it was my Account Edit Page. (I think of the Home Page as the page everyone sees when visiting the Public Page of any account...call me silly and slap my ass). I just don't understand the navigational system at all.

and hey. when I receive an email that says "you have new comments. click this link to view them," and low and behold, ye ole link takes me to my Account Editing Page, I kinda expect the new comments to be listed there. but guess what? they WEREN'T. they were on my er...um...Public Page? *le sigh*

I have never thought of myself as dumb...but considering the popularity of this service and my intense frustration with trying to figure it all out...maybe it really IS just me. I am MySpace Challenged. is there a support group for that? LOL

When you log in and go to your account update page (or whatever) it'll say updates...new comments/messages under your profile picture.

Ya see...the problem is...you're used to a much more COMPLEX way of blogging...it'll take about a week to get used to myspace, but you can catch up with all kinds of people on it...

oh yeah...you ready to float??? hehehe...i'm not anxious or anything.

you've probably heard by now, but we declined the offer to float...something about Meramec and flooding. *le sigh* we will just have to plan another one when the waters dry out a tad!!

I dunno, I've always thought myspace and facebook and all that is more a concept for kids with an enormous need for selfexpression, and a lack of ability to live in the real world ;)

*giggling* at Erik. there has to be something to them, because even "famous" people and bands etc etc have a MySpace account. its more about networking.
