So, I’ve decided to stop being an old dork, and finally embrace these social networking sites. Well, to some degree, anyway. I still find myself shying away from them, as though they have cooties and I’m afraid to let it get all over me, but I DO have to acknowledge the fact that they have a purpose. And for a while now, I’ve been getting facebook requests from people, and since I’m trying to keep my facebook friends limited to just people I know in PERSON, I feel bad every time I turn someone down. So, forget turning people down – I created a Facebook group just for Real Life readers – you can check it out here.

In addition, and ONLY because it’s widely used, Liz created one on MySpace, as well. I don’t HAVE a MySpace account… and it’s becoming harder and harder NOT to have one every day… so it’s feasable that it may happen at some point. But in any case, you can check that out here.

I feel like the old guy who learned to play Nintendo from his grandson, asking how you make the red guy jump over the turtle thing.

I just did the math, and did some measurements on google earth… and after this weekend when we go to AnimeFest in Dallas, we will have traveled 30,500 miles in the last 3 months. That’s 1.25 times the circumference of the earth. If you were to average it out over the course of three months, that’s 338 miles of travel A DAY.

And very little of it was on my United frequent flyer card. *grumbles*
