For a few months I've been hearing/reading about Pinterest and never really knowing what it was (that, and planking which I still don't get). How do these things get started? All of the sudden everyone is on Pinterest, talking about their "board" and what-not like everyone else knows what they are talking about. A while ago I was curious and visited the site, but was deterred by the "by invitation only" membership. Forget that. Oh wait. You just have to
ask for an invite? There's no rigorous interview process? I see... it's a clever way to obtain your email address while making you feel like you got into an exclusive club at the same time. Just what we housewives of the internet need for validation. "Did you get
your Pinterest invitation? Oh, not yet?
Mine came three days ago..."
So luckily I got into the club (it was touch and go there for a few minutes) and have started my pin boards, although I don't know what I am doing yet. Imagine my suprise to find many of my friends already in the club and thriving with all kinds of boards. Why had they never invited me? I won't dwell on it.
As far as I can tell, it is a new way to waste your day on the computer... just what I needed because Facebook sucks.

Inviting your friends to pinterest is like asking them if they want to smoke crack. I have a love hate relationship with it. I love it and I hate myself for wasting so much time. I'll let you know when I actually do one thing I've pinned or liked. You hit the pin on the head... it's a great time waster. Facebook what?
It seriously makes you realize how much Facebook sucks.
Hello, my name is Kris and I am addicted to Pintrest....well, as much as I can be addicted to anything besides graduate school. I am going to try a new recipe for apple cider and caramel cookies....hmm.
