Why I canceled my Myspace:
I did not delete any of you as a friend...from myspace...individually.

I deleted my whole f'ing myspace...

yep...169 friends *poof*...just like that.

Please don't take it personally....

I just couldn't handle my two worlds colliding...and the number of messages, comments, etc.

It became a monster instead of a haven....not to mention the sheer weirdness of having 50 people view my blog within

the first 2 minutes it was written (no, this is not an exaggeration!)

I'm sorry if I caused any hurt feelings over here at DU....believe me, hurt feelings are everywhere-- my co-workers, my photography friend, etc., etc.

Would i do it again, if I could go back and un-click those three clicks it takes to cancel it? Yes, I would. I am

not emotionally equipped for all that came with it. I am too much of a loner...and it really felt like it was

collapsing in on me...

okay, that was TMI. I really just wanted to give an explanation here.

Thanks for listening.

Sharon

2. Well...I completely overextended myself...
..but, I still miss so many people....

...I miss my environmentalist friends too.

I think I'll have to get involved another way.

Thank you for responding to this rambling mess. :hug:

5. I wish you hadn't done that.
You could've blocked everyone (including friends) for awhile until you were ready to deal with that site again.

Sorry you did that.

I don't think people are or should be that upset that you decided to cancel your account. I think it is very selfish of them to be like that instead of trying to understand where you are coming from.

I hope to at least see you around here once in awhile.

I like you. Don't be a stranger.

:hi: :hug:

6. Awwww
I'll miss the comments you sent. But I you have to do what you have to do. Thank you for posting this, because I would have thought that I had pissed you off somehow. Glad to know I didn't. Peace to you, my friend.

9. Myspace sucks rubber donkey dicks. Nevertheless, there I am.
Don't blame you a bit, though.

Good to see you on DU.

11. Everything passes, Everything changes,
Just do what you think you should do.
And someday maybe,
Who knows, baby,
I'll come and be cryin' to you.
