I no longer have a “space” on MySpace.  I have officially cancelled my account and have removed the site from my hometabs.  I saved all the pages that meant anything to me as a momento and also saved all of my friends’ links so that I can still check in on them every now and then.  I just can’t interact with them on MySpace anymore.
The fact that I don’t have to check on who is trying to contact me or deal with spam in that extra service any longer feels good.  I will also cut my advertising exposure by about a third.
I’ve secretly been dreading the followthrough of my announcement ever since I decided to make the announcement.  I didn’t want to do it, even after I had made my mind up.  I tried dropping my usage without dropping the account, but I just couldn’t make myself do it. 
Christmas is right around the corner and I am really looking forward to it.  The cold front that came through today really makes it feel more like Christmas.
