Help! I think I've Contracted a Social NETWORKING Disease!

Okay, so first (a mere 7 months ago – my, time DOES fly whilst Twittering!), it was -- “joining MySpace.” Started out with a handful of friends and a modest-appearing profile page – which has now “morphed” into its present state -- hundreds of friends, a plethora of HTML coding, links to this, links to that, Pyzam, Photobucket, this bucket, that bucket, bucket of chicken… well, you get the idea.

Then Facebook reared its mysterious [to me anyway] head! A few friends had joined up; I was compelled to go there, so reluctantly I went (well, okay, maybe I actually went “kickin’ and screamin’ [“Hmmmm, well, I don’t really GET this one .... but…. Okay, here goes…”). Of course, now I go there more often than I care to admit.

Shortly thereafter came TWITTER! [“What’s with all this ‘following’ stuff? Is this maybe a STALKER site?! Well, okay, guess I’ll give THIS one a shot!”] So I then joined Twitter and languished “there” for a month or so, just lurking in the shadows and saying … er, I mean, “tweeting” NOTHING!

Then I got a bit bolder, uploaded a profile pic, and now I find myself “tweeting” and “following” – and have linked my mobile to get a few UPDATES here and there. [Sad but true: Two weekends ago, while on a gig [I'm a pro musician], I thought I had lost my beloved “mobile” and almost died from apoplexy, lest I be unable to tweet MY updates and/or GET anyone else's “updates” on the road! Happily, I did find the cell phone up at the stage, clipped to a drum bag, not that you asked.].

Okay, so, moving right along, and flashing forward to the present!

At every conceivable opportunity, I now “update statuses”, I TWEET, I “BLOG,” I “write on walls”, I “link,” I am apparently obsessed! And in addition, I barely find time to sleep as I stay up waay too late at night “conversing” with friends in global time zones 8 times removed. There doesn’t seem to be any relief in sight!

Also, somewhere along the line I think I may have joined Reverbnation, YouTube and one or two other sites, but I can’t remember either the log-ins OR the passwords so I don't go there at all! And, most recently, I am now a member of “Living History Worldwide”! (Hey, just look at my MySpace Profile … I’ve got a "BADGE" stuck in there somewhere so you can easily find it/me on THAT site!)

Last, but not least, I am presently contemplating an imminent out-of-town vacation (plus have an out-of-town GIG in a few months so I will be AWAY from my beloved COMPUTER! [Oh, god FORBID!]… So what am I NOW doing?! I’m looking for a NETBOOK with WiFi, to take with me on the road so I can keep UP with all that MySpacing and Facebooking and Tweeting (as if the “mobile” isn’t enough!)!!

Is there a DOCTOR in the HOUSE?!!
