The worst thing has been happening. i have been suddenly consumed by an "internet mind".
You know you are being consumed when:
  • you start wanted to write as you MSN nicname "[your normal nic] - even though it says online i am actually not there" (sad, but true. i had to stop myself.)

  • you start wanting to give people actual insight into your personal life through facebook stati. no seriously - i find this one the hardest. (AND i KNOW that stati is not the plural, but i think it sounds better)

  • you meet people who say "i know you from facebook" and you start trying to work out how they saw your profile. And what that means. (IT MEANS NOTHING)

  • you start planning out when/who you are going to 'msg' or 'befriend', and at what time - because they might think x. (the truth is that they aren't thinking anything)

  • you start making judgments about people by the facebook groups they have joined (never mind group joining peer pressure)

  • when you are out, you wonder if any particular moment will be a 'facebook moment' (this one i totally haven't experienced, but i can imagine)

  • you start stalking people - IN REAL LIFE - because you found out where they live or work, or hang out. (okay, i have definitely been lured by this one)

In anycase, the list will go on. (anyone got anything to add, feel free).

DONT WORRY GUYS im not going crazy. I am just trying to bring myself back to reality by laughing at myself. it's a good thing.

What about when you start referencing other people's stati in your own?
