Technology Overload. Why am I so easily persuaded?

Today, I thought since I'm on holidays, I would tidy up my affairs. Now I know usually "tidy up affairs" means get your finances in order & draw up a will, but I'm 20, I have nothing to offer anyone, so I have recoined the phrase to mean "clean out all of your e-mails, import all e-mails & contacts to one e-mail, delete all of the internet accounts you don't use".
I thought this would be a fairly easy task, one that would take, perhaps a day. I soon realised I have a fairly GIGANTIC-RIDICULOUS-OUT-OF-CONTROL addiction to signing up to every internet site offered to me.

 I have: Facebook, two Hotmails, a Gmail, two Twitters, a Blogspot, Tumblr, Google, Piczo, Photobucket, Bingbox, Flixster, Music Jesus, IMVU, Myspace, Slide.com, Netlog, Bebo, Blognow, Picnik, Disney rewards, Neopets, Badoo, Virb, Zingfu, Tagged, Mego, Friendster, Meez, Myzoo, Glogster, deviantART.

Oh my sweet sweet lord. How did I let this happen? I've spent all day going into these sites, looking through them, taking off what I need and trying to delete them... but then I got to Virb.
Oh my oh my, virb is a pretty little website. So... naturally I changed it all and set it out as another "one tiny but loud voice" blog. God knows what I'll use it for... but hey! It's there if I need it.
