You Could Care Less About MySpace!
You're only registered on MySpace because a friend kept sending you invites and you were sick of receiving them. You think MySpace is too fancy and that the simplicity of Friendster was more up your alley. But you can leave these online friend communities behind. You're sick of seeing half-naked frat boys and females pursing their lips. And if you receive one more invite from a band you've never heard of, you're going to complain to Tom. Actually, you'll probably just stop checking your messages altogether.

You're a Healthy MySpacer!
You're here for friends and fun, yet only when you've got the time to log-in. You like MySpace but you don't like like MySpace. Often, you have better things to do. And while you still check your messages, read some blogs, and catch up with a few long-distance friends, you are in no way addicted. In fact, your addicted friends wonder what's wrong with you.

You're a Recovering MySpace Addict!
You once went overboard on MySpace--updating your profile daily, sending out 30 messages a day, ignoring work and family obligations so you could read your friend's latest blog. But you stopped yourself before the addiction got out of hand. You're down to two (maybe three) log-ins a day. And you usually call your friends rather than message them now. So long as MySpace doesn't come up with any new features, you should be able to stay on the wagon. Congrats!

You're Strung Out on MySpace!!!
You're a full-blown addict. Please admit this to yourself, if you haven't already. MySpace is your drug, your world, your all. You eat and breathe MySpace. You walk and talk MySpace. You just can't get enough. If you're not checking your Profile Hits, you're attempting to add more "friends" to your list. If you don't have a new message, you quickly send one out and await a reply (oh, that red "New Messages!" alert!). Perhaps there is a MySpace Addicts Anonymous group you can join . . .
