for those who are not familiar with me, Dana, Little Dana, Little Dana DeArmond.

i have an addictive personality.

money, booze, sex, excitement, attention, drama, danger, narcotics. yes, i *heart* them all.

at a certain point in my young life i found that it was extremely difficult to drink myself to death…. which seemed to be a plan i have been working on for some years.

yeah, i know you were excited to meet this doped up, trashed, (possibly topless?) floozy…

but i assure you i have become a much better person in the 4+ years i have been sober.

so attention, excitement, money, sex and other repetitive motions are still very much a part of my addiction problem.

here’s where social networking comes in.

i consider myself extremely fortunate that MySpace.com (a place for friends) was being developed the exact same time i decided to quit, cold turkey, “for real this time”.

whatever would i have ended up doing with all those hours in the day i use up accepting friend requests and taking self portraits with my digital camera? would i have taken up a job as an assembly line worker? clicking little pieces of plastic of tab A into slot B?

maybe i would be stuffing envelopes from home, not for the extra income, but for the rhythmic fold, stuff, lick, stick, stamp… which would become my new mantra.

i have found much happiness in blogging, processing, communicating. i dont think i would have become this satisfied in my life without the help of MySpace.com (a place for friends)

and a place for friends indeed. i have captivated the hearts befriended several hundred thousand other profiles.

and i accept them all, unconditionally, 10 at a time.

sure i am using this as an outlet to keep me from hurting myself or others, but i like to think i give something back.

so now this blog is a new chapter in the life of the girl who lived in the internet.
