But one night, see, I was on, was it myface or Facebook, and this Mafia Game application popped up, right? Fugedaboudit. You get hooked, henh? So, see, you start this Family (hear the raspy voice of Don "Lapsed Episcopalian" John here) and you start doing "jobs" and collecting "tools," but then you need "associates" and "family members." Which means you need more friends on Facebook. Which gets you back to needing a teenager to help you gather up more and more friends to help you collect the "energy" points you need to play the game, er, application. That's when I quit. Perhaps Facebook should instead have a virtual Gardening Application. Or a virtual Nurture Large Pets App. Or maybe a Get Back to Your Work and Get Off Facebook and The Internet ... then, well ... Okay, so, anyway, I got started on all this because, -- hey, it was GREAT to see Joshilyn Jackson giving a Working the Web seminar on my own home turf today. Likewise, I'm very much looking forward to hearing her read at my very own concert hall, The Handlebar in Greenville, SC, tomorrow 8/25 http://www.handlebar-online.com. (And, Karin, thank you for blurbing my upcoming novel, THE PLUNDER ROOM. You're so awesome. http://theplunderroom.blogspot.com. On second thought, I'm going BACK to the Web and keep doing this blog/Facebook/myspace thing.

Now suddenly it's so tempting, except that then I would spend all day long planting imaginary plants and I would fail out of grad school and my husband would starve and my real plants in my real garden would die.

My publicist also forced me to make a myspace and facebook page....and, as I said recently in my blog, I found I like facebook because it seems to attract smarter people (People who actually will read a book for pleasure) and myspace...well....judging from the mail and invites I've been getting on myspace...it feels like some seedy pickup bar.

I am, obviously, not on facebook, for if I were my family and my boss would never see me again. So I will live vicariously through your green patch and garden gnomes.
