I've now realised that a new recurring dream has crept into my repertoire over the last year or two.

In this dream we are staying in a hotel, often in the US, and there is a convention of some kind going on. What we are doing during the time there varies but the recurring bit is this:

It is almost the end of the last day we are there and I turn to

pennski and point out that we have not visited the dealers' room all the time we've been there and it is now too late!

Anyone who knows me at all will know that this never happens!

In other news I know have a FaceBook and I'm starting to acquire friends. Not sure quite what to do with it yet...

So far I've been resisting Facebook & MySpace (altho' I do have a Friendster page, but that's from waaaay back in the day & I don't really check it anymore). A friend of mine says she kind of got nudged into getting a MySpace b/c her friends post all their party invites on it & she had to stay connected. Luckily my friends don't do that (she's also a bit younger than me--early 20s; I think it's a generational thing in large part).

I like social networking so I can find/spy on people from my past, but once I've found them, I don't necessarily keep in touch w/them through whatever site. They're all terrible timesucks, & as evidenced by me having an LJ, I have enough of those already!

Chris--your recurring dream sounds more like a nightmare! No dealer's room!!!

I was going to say the very same thing! Not able to buy books whle at WisCon?! Perish the thought!! Geez, it'd be like dreaming that one had accidentally napped thru' the Tiptree Auction! :o Nooooooooo....!!!!

I've also resisted MySpace and Facebook, but i've (largely successfully) resisted most forms of social networking. I was finally dragged into LJ because it reached critical mass where i just knew too many people on it to avoid it any longer. Plus joining allowed me to view private posts, a feature i use a lot myself. I still don't use my LJ to blog because it's just not interesting to me as that sort of tool.

Something like Facebook *could* be tempting if i thought i could use it to track down old friends, but i can think of only 1 (maybe 2) people that could, perhaps, *maybe* be on Facebook, and there are vastly more efficient ways of getting in touch with these people (if i weren't so lazy...).
