Pretend-She-Is... Free-Dumb

When did using the Internets become such a pretentious hobby?

Seems like you've gotta be wired up and plugged in to about a billion different user accounts these days because Hey, you gotta catch up with everyone in your growing infosphere, right?

"Thank you, Internets, for connecting my life for me."

So, 'essential' these days are accounts with MySpace, FaceBook, Flickr and possibly Blogger. You may be part of interest groups like RateBeer, your local library, or your friend's online book club or blasting forum. Add to this the glee of email like Hotmail, which always leads you to fun news stories on MSN, and Gmail, which saves all the emails you've ever received and will never read again.

Then don't forget to check all your fav comics, your best friend's blog, your horoscope (and your bf's horoscope), your other five email accounts, login to GoogleReader (to check out your 20 news feeds and jokes and blogs you've tagged on del.icio.us), check for smiles on LavaLife, Digg something funny up, and go watch at least three videos on YouTube during the course of the morning, all while browsing on your supa Flock browsa. rowr.

Then you have to forward alllll the funny bits to alllll your friends, just in case someone missed it.

... And all this fun can be yours for free! yaaaaay! :)

And not only is it free, but it will only take about two to three precious hours out of your day each time you run through the sequence. And don't forget to do it once in the morning when you get to work, once again at your lunch break, and twice more once you finally get home from work. If you don't do this, you may miss out on the third "lol" your friend left on Facebook that day, or the millionth smile from some man twice your age on Lavalife. God forbid you fall behind on such things!
