MySpace & why I love it!

What a lonely world it was before MySpace! The whole concept snuck into our lives, quietly... I remember sitting down with the kids and figgerin out how to create pages for them, that was last December already... Then we forgot about it. Then Joanna showed Hayden her page, some of our friends discovered it, then some more, and a few more, then I found MySpace Music and began to listen to folks I'd never heard of before and becoming friends with our favorites, then suddenly the desire to decorate and self-express led to the cutting and pasting that made html less daunting and I was neck-deep in MySpace Life!! Then I went to Live and Learn and my friend list *exploded* happily into a huge social network (and my very own fanclub!). Not just folks I know and love, but some I want to know more of and many I've come to love!
It's a great way for me to keep Hannah's stuff up-to-date, she seems to be an incredible ambassador for MySpace :)
I've come across a few political pages I endorse, mostly in response to my friend John's nauseatingly narrow-minded MySpace icons (which I now see he has removed... maybe my incredible logic and brilliant wisdom have enlightened him!?). As I was poking around today, I discovered that Jack Billion, our favorite candidate for Governor, has his own page!! (I saw him today at our local coffee shop - a real local shop, not a corporate coffee place disguised as local - and he's just a sweetheart) I kept poking and found my good friend, SuZan Nolan's page, too!! She's Westriver, running for a seat in the state's House of Reps.
I'll be decorating my page with more vote decals, as we've only got a few very important days left before election day and, bottom line, my consititional rights are on the block and voting is more important than ever (it's always important, but those of us XX carriers have an added responsibility in SD this year!)
