LiveJournal, Xanga, MySpace

[Akiko_the_Elf]

Does any one else have a LiveJournal, Xanga, or MySpace?

[cloud4004]

oooh... Do not bring up "My Space" here. :mad:

[Akiko_the_Elf]

I know, I know. I despise MySpace too, but some people have them and they blog there. And I like reading blogs.

My boyfriend has a MySpace. I have an LJ and a Xanga. But I post more regularly and more honestly in my Xanga.

[-=VampyR=-]

Why do you hate MySpace so much people ?

[Jale]

Nope. I hate them all.

[cloud4004]

It's another lame fad created by a culture of young people that are too stupid to do anything productive with there time.

[Jale]

Eeeeexactly :dry:

[cloud4004]

On that note I also hate I-Pods, Cell Phones & MTV.

[Jale]

Same, same, except MTV. It airs South Park :p

[cloud4004]

I use to watch MTV when it ran Sifl & Olly (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sifl_&_Olly)... Now though it's 90% bad music and reality shows.

[Jale]

Yeah. I only watch it because of South Park. I miss the old MTV :(

[Akiko_the_Elf]

I hate MySpace because it truly sucks some serious ass.

I don't hate MTV though. In all honesty, I really love some of those reality TV shows. Too bad I don't hate cable. (That's probably why I don't hate it. Because I don't get to watch it all the time.)

[-=VampyR=-]

I used to watch MTV Base...but now since I don't have it anymore...now I'm watching from time to time VH1 and VH1 Classic...
The new stuff I buy or get from the internet. (mostly internet :p)

[cloud4004]

:mad: Music in hands of mainstream media is a terrible thing.

[hagbard]

Because they only want to sell a product, no matter the quality

[Akiko_the_Elf]

Yeah, but you have to understand that I grew up on MTV. I'm part of the MTV generation. If most of my peers didn't have Laguna Beach, they're heads would explode. MTV is important to us!

Plus, come on now, admit it, Meet the Barkers is a good show.

[hagbard]

Off course I don't think that's a problem, just choose whatever you like most

[Akiko_the_Elf]

So no one else blogs then?

[305soldier]

I HAD a myspace :P
but umm i got my account canceled XD
I started to post HTML scripts on peoples profile that would completely block out thier whole page so you couldn't see it, and I got into some peoples accounts :S
I'm really not that bad... I was just bored >.<
but currently... I don't blog.

[Akiko_the_Elf]

That rocks my socks off!!!!! I hate MySpace!!!

Good for you!!!! :D :D :D

[305soldier]

I think I found a friend :P
Myspace is boring is f**k and if I get another one it's to hack people and steal more accounts LOL

[Akiko_the_Elf]

I don't even like looking at other people's MySpace accounts.

They're not that great. You can accomplish basically the same look if you have Yahoo360. Hell, I bet if you wanted you could probably set up a Xanga Premium account to look the same.

It irks me. Whatever happened to having an ORIGINAL blog?

This is what I call madness..... :eek:

Good find, Butters.

[Akiko_the_Elf]

Some of those are hilarious.

Did you check out the link at the bottom for the Second Annual MySpace bad hair awards?

[ScotchGuy]

On that note I also hate I-Pods, Cell Phones & MTV.

iPods*

Why would you hate something as functional and wonderful as an iPod? Oh right, you hate everything that's remotely popular, good job on that.

[SergeySephy]

I used to be like that, also.

But that was yesterday, when I was young and naieve (sp?).

On myspace, I really like it because it's a good way to keep tabs with acquaintences. (I'm having trouble spelling today.) You know, those people who you like and all you just don't really hang out with them, and when school gets out you exchange phone numbers and say things like "lets get coffee sometime" but nobody ever calls?

This way, you can just comment, and things are much easier.

[pissinginthewind]

I think. . .that the creators of these sites finally figured out a way to profit off your every day attention ho. Most people, basically. I'd like to do the same, but it's just not FRESH.

[Akiko_the_Elf]

Sergey! You used my saying again!!!

Only you spelled naive wrong....how naive of you...hehe

[hitmonlee]

i have a myspace :)

http://www.myspace.com/nervousassistant

i get what people say when they mean "i hate myspace" but i don't think you have to confom to any of the myspace stereotypes. i've "run into" old school friends i wouldn't have found otherwise. its made it all worth it for me.

i have a LJ account but no journal. just use it to read others who only let "friends" read.

[-=VampyR=-]

i have a myspace

http://www.myspace.com/nervousassistant
BEAUTIFUL.

[Jale]

HITMONLEE! :D

[hitmonlee]

no need to shout guys :)

[Badger]

Myspace is what you make of it, if you want to be a complete cunt on, be a complete cunt on it, its easy for people who aren't interesting in talking to cunts to tell who is one and ignore them. I keep my account fairly private and lo-fi. Its a decent way of keeping in contact with a few people that are in the grey area between friends, and, people you aren't really bothered about losing touch with. A little window on their lives. I've also used it for meeting a couple of local skank rags girls, although I've now came to the conclusion that women that rely on myspace to meet men usually have something (mentally) wrong with them or carry so much baggage anyone with a brain would run a mile.

Its a good idea IMHO.

[-=VampyR=-]

no need to shout guys :)
Mine was more like a whisper...of admiration. :D

Badger,you're using the word "c*nt" way to often.It reminds me of Robert Carlyle in Trainspotting.

[Akiko_the_Elf]

Badger, the fact that you admit to using the internet to find people to date/screw is...somewhat apalling. Maybe they're not screwed up, maybe you are.

By the way, Hitmonlee, nice MySpace. I'll admit it. Even though I hate the very principal that is MySpace, I admit you have a good site. Mostly for this: "Who I'd Like To Meet: anyone who doesn't play background music on myspace."

[hitmonlee]

thanks, i really dislike it when people force their music upon me. i'm already playing music, i don't want to hear other peoples!

[cloud4004]

Your a musician? Me too.

[hitmonlee]

lol no i mean playing tunes with WMP

although i used to play the guitar and the recorder. one of the big ones lol

[Cheetah]

thanks, i really dislike it when people force their music upon me. i'm already playing music, i don't want to hear other peoples!

Haha, I'm the same way, I ALWAYS have music playing, then I look at someone's profile and it's screaming emo that drives me insane, ruining my music...And yet I have music on my profile :p

http://www.myspace.com/cheetah223

Basically, I got myspace to find a girl I'd met at a concert in Washington, couldn't find her any other way, found her in about 10 minutes on myspace and we're very good friends now...So a worthy investment, even though some of the shlongs who somehow made it to be one of my 30 or so friends do make me regret it deeply..

[Akiko_the_Elf]

See, and that's why I don't do MySpace. Because I don't want to have thirty or so random assholes acting like they know me all the time.

Screw that.

[-=VampyR=-]

Cheetah...I can't see anything on your site.Red on green don't mix.
Or maybe its my Firefox...

[Cheetah]

See, and that's why I don't do MySpace. Because I don't want to have thirty or so random assholes acting like they know me all the time.

Screw that.

I totally agree, I'm glad I have it because it's put me back in touch with a couple friends I hadn't talked to in a while, but the five or so people I haven't met who are on my friends list drive me insane, you delete them and you get 1,000 messages asking what the hell happened.

Anyone else have trouble reading it? I took like four hours (car was dead.) trying to find colors that I could see worth a crap, but maybe I just got so sick of looking at it I just put up with that..

Edit: This took way too long to dig up, I haven't posted in over a year until today, but here's my LJ. I was never very dedicated to it. http://cheetah223.livejournal.com/

[Akiko_the_Elf]

I had a LiveJournal, but I've noticed that nine times out of ten, whatever you post about on live journal that your friends read ends up being more drama than it's worth later. My friends do a lot of that stupidity. Why can't LiveJournal be like Vegas? What happens there should stay there.

My primary use blog is Xanga now. My sn is akikoXsupposed if any one wants to check it out. The caviat with Xanga, however, is that you have to have a Xanga sn to be able to read some one else's xanga, whether it's friends only or not.

In the modern day I fail to see anything wrong with this let alone justify terminology such as appalling. I really don't see what difference it makes as to where you originally meet somebody, whether it be on the web or sitting next to them on the bus. My original point being, that people who rely solely (this is the keyword) on the web to meet people tend to be fucked up in one way or another. This is a casual observation based on first hand experience. I'll happily claim to having met many people off the web, some in a dating sense, some in a business sense and most in a social/pleasure sense, however I don't rely on the web for any of these. Whilst I will freely admit to not being the most gifted person there has ever been when it comes to people skills, I'm not so inapt that I am socially backwards, retarded and unable to survive in the real world, the tragedy being, some people are like this.

The web's a useful tool though, and an excellent way of gaining contact with like minded people. For example I regularly meet up with a group of audi car enthuisiasts, who all met each other through the web. These people are as normal as they come. I've also met up with people who have been wanting jobs done for them, such as setting up VAGCOM on a car or selling diesel to them.

So if I'm in the house one night, feeling a bit bored and I decide to float about the web. I end up chatting to some girl and we eventually end up deciding to meet up, is there really anything wrong with that? However sometimes I've jumped into these against my better judgement, and I've ended up with somebody with mental issues pestering me. This is where my original statement lies

[Akiko_the_Elf]

You can't make a sweeping generalization about people on the web being fucked up and then admit to using the web for the same thing that said people did and not expect any backlash.

You also can't recant your statement by adding more detail to make it seem like less of a sweeping generalization.

Webdating doesn't make people fucked up. Being an asshole makes some one fucked up.

[-=VampyR=-]

You speak wisdom Akiko.

[Akiko_the_Elf]

I try. *bows*

[Badger]

I said that I’ve came to the conclusion that people who rely on the web for dating/meeting people, tend to be fucked up (or words to that effect). I will happily stand by this statement.

Now if I had said “People who use the web for dating are fucked up”, then I would be guilty of making a rash, and unfair generalisation. However there are a couple of keywords in this sentence, the first of which being rely. A word which is defined in the dictionary as meaning, to be dependant. It can hardly be described as revolutionary, or unique thinking to realise that people who are dependant on the internet for social interaction probably are, at least in part, fucked up. The other keyword is tend, which puts a spin on the statement to suggest I acknowledge that this might not always be the case.

However, on the other hand you said “the fact that you admit to using the internet to find people to date/screw is...somewhat appalling”, which would suggest you are intolerant of the whole practice, and therefore, are in no position to judge.

Word...nigga ! :wacko:

And if we get to it at a psychological level most people have irreversible issues and will never understand the meaning of life...
Cut the phylosophical bullshit Badger ! :fuckyou:

Let me put it simpler to you...Akiko will never like your attitude.
I'm getting pretty tired of this MySpace or other dating crappy sites with crazy or wonderful people you can meet and f*ck.

If you ever run into an axe-murderer let me know.

The classic:

One guy meets girl on myspace.They talk to each other (too much) and fall in love.The girl is underage...the parents don't agree with the boy...boy comes to the girl house shoots her parents and kidnapps her.

I bet the guy who shot that girl's parents has problems when going to the toilet now... :D ...having a larger than usual asshole. :happy:
Or maybe he got the chair.

[Akiko_the_Elf]

Could be. But then, if he does, he deserves it and he brought it on himself.

Killing some one else's parents...dammit, you only have the right to kill your own freakin' parents! And even then, NO!
