Today’s Wednesday Warmer is a jolly little piece from Jenn “Gurl’s Assylum” Jinright. Why not go say hello to her on Twitter (she does a great range in smiles and encouragement) or subscribe to her blog? And now Jenn, it’s over to you …
Social Media is a sneaky, sneaky thing. It slowly infiltrates your life with the goal of taking it over completely. Social Media is slowly working at making sure you stay connected to your “friends”at all times, even when you’re visiting the rest room or in the shower! How do you know if the internet has taken over your life. Take a look at these six major signs. If you find yourself nodding or thinking that two or more describe you, odds are high that the internet is winning the battle!
- Your Social Media followers know more about you than those you live with.
- You can count the number of friends that live within a short drive on one hand.
- Every time something happens, your first thought is “OMG I have to share this on (insert favourite social media site here)!!!!”
- You find your self feeling lonely or abandoned when your online friends aren’t updating their status messages every half hour.
- When responding out loud, you have caught you self literally saying “el oh el” or “Doubleyou Tee Eff”.
- In the rare case you are somewhere that you can’t send or receive status updates, you panic and/or feel lonely or abandoned
Oh dear. I’ve seen me do all of these before, but with time and counselling (well ok, boyfriend intervention) I’ve managed to remove a couple of the symptoms. Kinda.
I wonder if Social Media is the Borg…

Hi, Heather!
Its like way too early here (before 6 AM) but that really made me chuckle. Thanks for stopping by!
OMG I love it…the Borg…resistance is fu-tile.
El,
thanks for the awesome intro, missing you on Twitter…but very glad you’re enjoying your trip 
Thanks for letting me post here, I can hardly wait to see what the rest of the community has to say about this one
Hehe, I’ve been up for a while now (its 11am here) so I’m about at the stage where I’m able to be funny
Love the Borg!
Just ain’t the same without El is it though? Least she’s having fun.

I’ve now been up way too long and am getting goofy LOL I love ST:TNG…borg and all
I do miss El a ton, but I am sure we will have a chance to catch up with her once her trip is done and she home. I can hardly wait to show her all my new video posts and guest posts LOL The little blogger that could is growing up–sort of 
Definitely
She’ll be back in no time and bursting to talk no doubt. 
Awesome news about your blog though! Congrats, glad its going well for you.

Thx…feels weird to get a few of the compliments I’ve gotten recently. Its nice to know that those that gave them weren’t just blowing smoke up my ass….so I have to believe them.
Do you think Els ears are burning like they would be if we were literally talking about her?
Know the feeling
You’ll get used to it. Right around the time they become less frequent lol.
More than likely.
