MySpace Addiction Shock Therapy
It could be the end of an era, folks! Having observed that my non-MySpace friends seem to be more productive than I, in desperation to break my addiction I randomly generated a password to lock my account.
The idea was that in order to log in, I would have to request the password. This would prevent me from doing so on a whim; I would have to deliberately go out of my way to get in. Sounds good, right? I have known others to use this “cold turkey” method to regain control.
WRONG! I did this on Monday, and today being Friday I decided it wouldn’t hurt to just check in. But what happened instead!? NOTHING! That’s right, I went through the system twice to have my password emailed to me… but it never showed up!
So now I don’t know what to do. There is no way to guess the password; it’s a random string. It looks like I won’t be logging back in to MySpace any time soon! I’m not totally devastated by this, but maybe it hasn’t hit me yet.
I’ve had the same profile for 5 years… I’ve been on that site since they opened in Fall of 2003 (thanks Cory!) and now this! What am I going to do? I don’t want a new profile, I want my old one, and I needed to break my habit, but damn! Talk about shock treatment, this is brutal…
Please, MySpace, send me my password!
