Out of the frying pan and into the fire.
2006-11-18, 10:45 p.m.

I finally deleted my MySpace profile. I've been meaning to do it for a while. I've been bored with it lately. I sent out the old "I'm leaving, please contact me if you need my email address so we can still talk" bulletin a few weeks back and got suckered into staying a bit longer. Then I felt like a bit loser for sending out what appeared to be a "Come on everyone, tell me how much you all love me so I'll stay" bulletin. That was very much NOT my intention. So then the last straw was the porno-ish bulletin that was posted by my account but not by me. I don't tollerate people hacking into my accounts if I can ever help it. So, after 3 attempts, I finally got my account deleted.

Instead, I'm a new kind of dork:
Facebook me!

It makes me laugh though, because as out of place as I felt in MySpace, I feel totally out of my element in Facebook. I don't know how long it will last, but my brother is there and all of my cousins, including the one who I've never met (but who has accepted all of the cousins' friend requests including mine which makes me wonder if there's any chance she'd be open to communication or if she's just a friend-junky). I want to try and contact her, but I'm very uneasy about it. As I said, we've never spoken. To my knowledge, she's never laid eyes on me, knowing that I'm a blood relative. I also get the impression that we probably don't have much in common, but that's true of me and all of my extended family, so--to me anyway--that's no big deal. At the very least, I'm putting out a little prayer that maybe she'll mention that I popped up to her brother (who I did know a little, once upon a time, and who has a new baby that I would give my right pinky finger to be able to have my grandparents see). Maybe her brother would have some slight interest in talking to me again, if he knew how to reach me. I really feel like I'm the only person in the world who cares that we are cousins and that if we'd just get our heads out of our asses and stop fighting our parents' fights that maybe we could be a family again in our generation. There is no reason why we should let this continue. (Laughing at self as I type)... If anyone would like to join facebook and secretly copy that last paragraph and send it to my cousin, you'd make my life a lot easier.

Seriously though, if any of you are in Facebook, come find me. I'm awfully lonely there right now.
