Belated Update

Yeah, yeah, so its been awhile - geez, we've taken a few vacations and moved across the country, cut us some slack. As it turns out, after the first few incidences, monitoring the oldest girl online isn't as hard or as entertaining as I thought it would be. She pretty much follows the rules - sometimes needs a little nudge in the right direction, but she knows that I watch everything and will pounce on her if she steps out of line.

She's still doing the Zwinky thing and tried to get an IMVU account - which was swiftly dealt with, and was less painful than it could have been. When I told her "no" and to uninstall it, she did without a question. Later on, she asked why and I told her that it was too sexually oriented for her. She said, "oh" and went on her way. Now, whenever her little online buddies ask about IMVU, she says she doesn't have one and if they ask why, she'll tell them the same thing I told her. Good girl.

In addition to the Zwinky, a couple of her Zwinky friends are on MSN Messenger and she talks to them on there too. One of them says he's "Pete" from Fall Out Boy - yeah, right. I told my daughter that if he WAS the guy he says he is, she should get some back stage passes to their next local concert. She doesn't really think its him, but she wants to. I have to admit that the guy and his friends are not giving up the act without a fight. Its been awhile now and they still talk about the last concert or the hotel or they have to go practice. Sometimes his "girfriend" gets on and says that he's out on the tour and so isn't logged in - and she even seems a little jealous that some other girl is talking to him.
