An old college buddy (and accomplished amateur musician to boot) of mine had this to say about Myspace recently.

I don't friend just anybody! If I'm not sure who someone is, I will ask (like other bands.) I am always curious as to how someone found me, because i am nosy.

If I am your friend, Ryan, can I meet this guy?

Can I play Cranium with Lil' Ryan?

I don't invite or accept unless I've had some sort of contact with the person/band. I have responded to oucheh and vice versa on this forum (and we seem to like each other), so I added him. I'm sure I've responded to somebody from IfiHadaHifi on this forum and I like their music, so I added them.

I like Ryan and MOCO and have corresponded with him, so I will try to add them again.

You can meet him. He has an Electrons uniform, too, which he just got back from his creator. (Lil Ryan is a long story, not worth writing about - but ultimately pretty funny and strange)

He now lives in my spare bedroom on a shelf guarding MOCo's master reels. He can see the mushroom lamp from where he is perched, as well as my fiance as she dresses for work in the morning. He's got it pretty good.

He is a puppet, Tree. Of course you can.

Thanks! Added.


Overall, I will probably add anyone that I recognize, and even some that I don't know but that I find have decent pages.

Anybody have any weird MySpace/Friendster stories about meeting/adding/requesting somebody that are worth mentioning?

sleeping odd hours again.

this girl, from jeremy's page, looks really cute:

which isn't to say any of you are any less cute, or that i'm some sort of cuteness arbiter. i just like to point out what i think is cute sometimes.

no harm, no foul. just an honest observation.

Just started up a MySpace for the Chrome Robes.

Here:
http://myspace.com/thechromerobes

Feel free to friend request us, as I suspect that since this is a band page, we will be slightly whorish about it.

Also, I have an account for just me, which is here:

http://myspace.com/toomanyhelicopters

I only friend people that I'm actually friends with in the real world with this one.





PS - Fuck you MySpace. Asshole!!

Heres me, but I'm going to cancel it, me thinks.. dunno. Theres this.
