After months and months, I finally gave in and got myself a Myspace account, just like all the rest of the kids. You can befriend me at http://www.myspace.com/ograte.

If you can even log in to their slow server, that is.

Ever since I first found out about Myspace, I've tried occasionally to see what all the fuss is about. But every time I went to a Myspace page, I was so assaulted by animated GIFs, embedded music and/or embedded video, that I ran away howling with my eyes clenched and my hands over my ears. But recently, I found some pages that were actually tasteful and nice to look at. So I explored and then I joined.

Anyway, I spent all day yesterday just browsing through all the people, finding a lot of familiar faces, and reading bios. It's a vortex, to be sure.
