Myspace is not your space

I had a quick look around myspace last week, threw together an experimental profile and spent an hour or two nosing around, basically trying to find out how many people from Roscommon were on it. Anyways I thought I had the profile deleted when I noticed I’d gotten no confirmation mail so I tried the site again this evening, it let me in and I found that I’d made lots of cool friends by not even trying! Complete strangers wanted to be my chum! One was even a good looking woman!! It must have been the profile photo or something. Anyways this random love-fest and communal well wishing is very creepy to me so I made damn sure I deleted myself out this time.

If Hell is other people then Myspace is like the eighth circle of hell – the first two ditches of the circle are reserved for seducers and flatterers if memory serves me correctly. I'm sticking with blogger. It's all one sided and I dont have to use my brutal social skills any more than is necessary.
