Some of my friends have myspaces. I mock them mercilessly.

The only reason I had one was because my friend told me to get one about a year ago. All I ever did with it was make it look like the leader of NOD's (from Command and Conquer) MySpace account. Only recently have I used it for anything, and one of those uses was finding a friend of mine who I lost contact with about 4 years ago. Now we're chatting again and it's coo'. But, yeah, those descriptions are freakishly accurate.

I have one, although I haven't switched from the default background, use proper spelling and punctuation, and had the same default picture since June. Probably more of a statement than if I used an editor. On an aside, they should have a contest to see who has the most obnoxious, unreadable page. It would be appealing in the same way a burning car wreck is for onlookers.

I'm interested, how do you find someone you knew 4 years ago and in my case 7 years ago. How would you do such a search on myspace??? As far as I knew everyone who has a page has named it using weird names and stuff.. :?

I have trouble with phones because of my speech impediment (I swear they're designed to magnify any speech problem a person has :evil: ). I use...um...a crapton of different blogs to keep up with various groups of friends (I think I'm on three plus Facebook right now, unless I'm forgetting one :D ). Besides, three of my friends on my blogs live outside the United States, so phoning would be a PITA anyway.

Feel relieved.

Though you can always use an LJ to post weird rambling funny crap like a certain British cook I know... :wink:

I searched for their real name and it worked. I didn't type it in under the user name but some other part of the search function.

MySpace = denied. If someone wants to get a hold of me? LJ, e-mail or a messenger of some form. I don't need to go visit something that may as well be a fucking dating service.

That Uncyclopedia article, though? Dude with booze = hot. /random.
