The weirdest thing is happening.
For a Halloween party, I took many pictures. People of course wanted me to send copies. No problem. One woman only gave me a MySpace address. Unfortunately you can’t send messages unless you are also a member. I signed up and sent the pictures. And then washed my hands of the whole thing.
This weekend I’ve gotten five requests from people who want to be my friend. It’s great for the self-esteem, but I have never heard of these people. And looking at their profiles, they all seem to be young sex-starved women from the US.
And their descriptions about themselves match word for word.
And who is this “Tom” guy from L.A. that actually is supposed to be my friend. I didn’t say he was. Does MySpace think I’m so lonely that it is assigning me friends. Awfully forward of it.
I must say, my opinion of MySpace, not high to begin with, is not being helped by this.
I’m marking them as spam.
