Maybe it's not a good sign, but sometimes it really does feel like the whole universe is conspiring to make me as miserable as possible, like how yesterday I decided to get an account on Myspace.com, seeing as it would help me to feel better about myself if I got to meet more people, even if it is just online.
So I pick out a username, and set about writing a whole load of stuff about myself that hopefully won't put people off the idea of having anything to do with me. After a couple of hours re-reading and tweaking it I'm happy enough, and sign off to go and make some photos a bit more webable.
The trouble comes when I try and sign in again to upload the pictures. Username and password go into the little, boxes. I click on the little 'login' button. And I get a screen telling me I must be logged in to do this.
OK, so maybe I typed the password in wrong, so I try again a couple of times. Still no. Maybe I typed it in wrong when I made the account, so I click on the 'forgot password' button, and go check my email. Nope, the password is just as I entered it. Check the help page, clear cookies and cache, try again. Nope.
By now I've been getting 'verification' requests too, as I've had so many failed logins, so I've got to type in some characters from a wobbly image. After a few more tries it tells me my account doesn't exist any more.
Why do I -ing bother.
Maybe I should have just got on and done the work I've been meaning to on my own webserver. I've payed for a domain name, and can do stuff with it that almost makes Myspace.com look like a waste of time anyway, except I'm not going to meet anyone having a homepage sitting all on it's own in the middle of cyberspace.

Nay, whatever comes one hour was sunlit and the most high gods may not make boast of any better thing than to have watched that hour as it passed

you learn more in the real world, life lessons...................better than any quiz and more fun than filling out some pointless questionnaire
Dont take those quizzes away from me!!!! It's one of the only things that gets me through the working day! (Not being a slave to the wage,I generally show up and play on the net for 5 out of 8 hours a day).Also, it's those quizzes that have helped me glean some endearing information about some lovelly people I otherwise never might have known...
