Facebook

Well as much as I feel regret to say it, I have finally been sucked in. I did at one time make a myspace page, but then I really didn't have the time or the interest to go playing on it and nurturee it like it needed so it is created somewhere but forgotten, neglected and in some ways dead. So when some of my friends joined facebook, my initial response was "NO!" I don't really like online communities that much, but with the applications and groups organised the way they are, it's not as though you are completely out in the open like a book ready to be criticised.

It is a most perculiar and addictive thing facebook. With a wide variety of topics and people on board. It's also a bit strange being able to get into contact wiht people I haven't seen in years all because we joined the same group.

My favourite things are the trivia for various things (movies, tv shows and music) and then there are my pets which I fight monsters with to get gold, experience and sometimes some cool loot. Plus to my over-whelming joy, there are stargate groups. People just like me! I've tried going on forums and stuff and found them too crazy to keep up with as there are always the people who seem to spend hours at a time on them and conversations progress at alarming rates which are next to impossible to keep up with. Facebook has a nice self-paced feel to it which is easy to manoever around.

It is however highly addictive and should not be used as a substitute for sleep or food!!! I learnt that the hard way by getting too caught up in it all.

Nothing much else is new with me. Hockey is on it's last legs for the season with two semi-finals guaranteed and I'd have to say at least one grand-final almost certain. I'm back getting regular physio though so I'll be glad when it's all over with.
