Social networking sites

Ok, lets all be honest and name the sites where you have a profile. I will go first:

Myspace
Facebook
Tribe
Ning

I think I have a livejournal floating out there somewhere, maybe. I'm sure I have more. I'm sure someone will remind me.

I don't know what it is, but how come "networking" sites somehow have the ability to turn into "highschool drama" sites? I'm not judging. I myself am the 14 year old who sped read her way through Twilight last week.

Why do we put ourselves through this. I know. It's all in the name to re-connect with high school friends we haven't talked to in 15 years. Seriously, if we were that close 15 years ago, wouldn't we still be talking??

Yesterday, someone deleted my comment. When I opened my profile this morning to check a comment some things, I saw it was gone. I was in shock. Why would anyone delete a comment where I beg them to vote for the SPCA?

(Um, psst, if you have a minute can you vote for the SPCA so they can win some money http://www.care2.com/animalsheltercontest/74289/?refer=19400.07.1228320189.8495)

I immediately try to remember what I wrote. I then email them to apologize and see what happened. I am told their site is professional, and they were cleaning it up. If I noticed something like that it must mean, I have too much time on my hands.

Ok.

I think I open a pot of something, and being the girl who can't handle drama because it gives her ulcers, I'm gonna put the lid back on.

Hmmm, not so sure about social networking sites.

Good story. Don't have any sites and I'm pretty psyched about that but I do have a Linked In that I log into once every three months or so for no good reason.
