When I first gained Internet access via Network Wales back in 1995 I never pictured it becoming such a large part of my life. I remember intially finding it dull but then I changed service provider and away I went.
Being a relatively shy person I found that the internet helped me a great deal with this. I didn't have to worry about people who claimed to be my mates taking the mick out of me in front of my face. My friends on-line typically were UK based and came from around the UK and I am pleased to say I still talk to many of them now.
The internet now features largely in my life inasmuch as I met my partner through Gaydargirls.com...I buy most of my gig tickets on-line I am even partial to a few internet games...The one thing I don't get though is the MySpace phenomenon....Is this just a sign of me getting old? I love facebook but find the idea of decorating a page on MySpace with loud in your face pics and loud music trite! For me I guess the main internet fix I have is my blog...yes it's plain, dull and boring but it does allow me to vent my frustrations with the world!!
