Internet priorities and the Twitter CONSPIRACY.

Hello, my lovely little readers!

Do you use Google Chrome? I do. Yesterday my sister and I were discussing what your nine most visited pages say about you. Her top four are Facebook, her university's homepage, gmail, and the bank's website. I would say those are fairly sensible. Especially in contrast to MINE. Let me take you on a journey, my friends, through my internet addiction.

#1- Facebook
It's not really surprising. Most of us spend half of our spare time glued to our computers, mindlessly browsing through photos and vandalizing each others walls. There's really not much else for me to say here.

#2- Twitter
This is actually what inspired this whole topic. Twitter took this slot just yesterday, and I found it kind of sad. I mean, half my tweeting comes from my phone, which means I do double what Chrome is registering. I'm still not sure it would overtake facebook, but it's quite impressive. I'm even relatively new to twitter, having joined in January(ish).

#3- YouTube
I feel completely comfortable in blaming John and Hank Green for this one. Without the vlogbrothers, I would never have become this addicted to the Tube. I wouldn't have discovered other vloggers or become even more obsessed with obscure videos by musicians. Oh, what would I do without my nerdfighter (the vlogbrothers viewers are called nerdfighters... just go with it) identity? Probably things that would make me less socially awkward, and we can't have that. We need Potter Puppet Pals. We want Mrs. Nerimon and party blower solos playing on loop in our brains. That way we can hum/sing along and get strange looks from people.

#4- MySpace
This used to occupy the top spot, but as you can see I've mostly recovered from that addiction. It's been slowly declining on the list for a while now; the only thing keeping it up there is music.

#5- Twitter
I know what you're thinking. You already listed Twitter, you idiot! You're right, I did. But Google Chrome is obviously controlled by the Fail Whale and all the little tweeting birdies. And the little birdies are telling Chrome to give Twitter two spots, spaced apart so hopefully no one will notice. It's subliminal advertising at it's best, but I am not fooled! I'm on to you, my winged friends. I'd tell you what the Fail Whale is saying, but I never learned how to speak whale, and Dori's not answering her phone at the moment.

#6- The Ning
This is the 'community' Maureen Johnson created so that we could make friends who are also blogging every day in April. I am smack dab in the middle of this addiction, and there is no hope for recovery, at least until May. I tried to resist for a few days, but it's overtaken me. I am a lost cause. I have been turned into a NingBot, completely controlled by Maureen (which could be a specialty of the Fire Breathing Walrus. I'm not sure, you'd have to ask an expert). I now do whatever MJ tells me to. *removes pants due to AmazonFail* (Edit: see Maureen's twitter for more explanation on this.)

I'm sure this one will keep moving up throughout this month.

#7- The Library
Yup, I'm on my library's website all the time: requesting books, checking when books I have checked out are due, checking the progress of books that had 30 holds on them. The usual.

#8- Fancorps
This used to be much higher on the list, but I've been neglecting my street team duties a bit lately. :| Although, it's not entirely my fault. The band I supported most dropped off the face of the earth to write a new album, and the team kind of went dead. I actually miss it a lot.

#9- Blogger
Somehow, even with BEDA, this is still at the bottom. I think it's because I so rarely blogged before I hopped aboard this bandwagon.


So there it is. It's kind of pathetic, really. If you were ever questioning whether or not I had a life, this should clear things up. I'm sure you guys can relate to some of these (at least I hope... *cough*).

RAWR,
Linds
