Mistaken identity
So Maya got her own e-mail account this week. I guess it's high time since she's 10. We're all so proud. Let's not mention that I didn't get my first e-mail account until I was about 20. Whatev.
So we've been e-mailing her back and forth and what have you. Tonight, Scott announced, "Maya asked me to be her friend on MySpace!" Without even looking at her profile, he accepted her hand in friendship.
At first I was miffed. I mean, she didn't ask me and I'm her AUNT for christsakes. And then I started thinking, "What is Tesia thinking letting Maya get on MySpace?" Then I thought, "Maya will never be on the computer without Tesia nearby." But then I got scared and turned to Scott's computer screen to get a load of whatever photo and profile Maya put up for herself.
No photo.
Hmm. This is a relief.
Scott clicked on the no-photo icon, which brought us to Maya's profile.
Turns out she's 22 and lives in Florida. Her friend list is all young-ish men in various states of drunkenness. One particularly fetching friend of this Maya has a photograph of himself funneling beer. Good times.
Thankfully, our Maya is safe from the scourge of MySpace, at least for now.
As a side note, you may be interested to know that Maya is crazy about Scott. Like, no joke. She made her e-mail address the nickname he calls her and everything. Sometimes when we see her, she goes straight for Uncle Count Scottula and leaves old crappy Auntie in the dust.
She just can't get enough of that guy. Me neither.

I keep forgetting you have comments now. That's all I have to say.
Hi.
Thanks for noticing. Secretly I'd been craving comments for a long time, so I'm glad to have them now. It makes me doubly glad when people used them for friendliness and such, so I thank you.
Oh, that was me, jbo.
I'm being coy.
