the adventures of pamalicious

As we all know, I’m a Net Head. I love the internet. I wish I could get paid to surf and seek etc. on the net.  I was just looking at I’ve had my name for 8 years now, and that could be good or bad - because I’m imprinted in the net and I haven’t been the best with pictures and other things to link my ass to myself. As more and more of my fam gets on - I know eventually some shit gonna pop off since a quick google can have me ass out in a minute as to my traffic on here and where I kick it.

Anyhoo - J has been working overtime throwing smoke signals from inside the gate and she invited me to join Twitter.  Now, we all know that I suffer from a slight case of AWS (Attention Whore Syndrome), and someone telling me that I can have ‘followers’ is an enticing thing, lol So I signed on up - got me some followers and started following some folks.  It’s been interesting - because of the nature of my job AND my Berry - I can participate on a consistent basis - but there is pressure. There is a nagging feeling of ‘who really wants to follow my ass around on my day to day”  At what point will I run out of witty thangs to say?  Um, I’m nosey and I want to follow some folks.  So if you are Twitting - let me know. Pamalicious is my handle!  Find a sistah.

It made me think about the other two places I have gotten sucked into as well:  Myspace and Facebook. 

I STILL don’t exactly know what the hell Myspace is for. I personally use it to stalk celebrities, lol  real or imagined.  My space is filled with my ode to a darker Michael Jackson and is a necessity as my child is on there.  However, I’m not interacting over there - I just have.  I haven’t taken any time to cultivate any new relationships.  I actually can forget I have an account.  Once I connected with the folks I personally know - there was nothing else for me to do over there.

Now Facebook is a bit different. I like it - I like the way you network. I like that all the people on my page are folks I know in my off line life.  I like that it is not reliant on reaching out to folks and I have games etc. that occupy my time over there.  I LOVE FLAIR!!  In some extra weird sorta landscape - 19 members of my family - well 20, are on Facebook.  Imagine.  I go over to see what folks are up to. I go over to read status etc.  It seems as if I’m actually networking on Facebook. 

I’m not sure where this blog entry is going (LOL) but I just found myself thinking of these social networking sites etc. and how I got sucked up in them.

Something else came to my mind recently due to a IM popping up that surprised me.  All the years, all the ADD/DELETE/BLOCKS - I am in control of my side of the screen - not the other. So how many folks in this 8 years - still have my name all up and thru their Instant Messenger Program?  Luckily I have a pretty good memory and if someone shows up I can wrap my mind around something about them.

So opening the forum - where you hanging out?  Wanna hang out with me?  Do YOU know what Myspace is for?  LOL  IF you had these things when you were say 14-15 - would you be just wrapping up a career as a porn start like I probably would have been , lol
