It literally stuns me, what some of these damn Kids Nowadays will put on their Myspaces. I walk around town and I see kids, and I want to yell at them, "Take that dang cussin' and drug talk off your MySpace!" but I don't want them to think I'm creepy or something. It's seriously just ... wrong.

When I first got onto MySpace I was stunned at what my little cousins were posting. I made my profile Private because I don't want future employers looking at my relatively benign MySpace page and saying, "Huh, this candidate's MySpace page is pretty tame, but one of her contacts lists 'masturbation' as a hobby. Let's look at the next candidate."

I acted all uppity when kids were getting their livejournals on because they weren't writing their own html so you don't want to hear what I think about myspace. I'm not sure what facebook is.

I think what makes Facebook more palatable to me than MySpace is the page-design thing, honestly. Facebook... okay, you can do some terrible, hideous things with Facebook, and it ends up being a stalker utility whether you like it or not, but the basic page design is very clean and nice. It looks like a mature website, whereas I have never been on a MySpace page that was not hideous and impossible to get any actual information from. MySpace is worse as a stalker service only because you can't stalk through a completely nonsensical interface full of spinning skull anigifs.

(Note: I have a Livejournal which, since 2002, has been in powder blue and uranium-Fiestaware-orange, so I really have no right to talk about this subject. Oh, well.)

Hmm maybe I should look at facebook, it's just that every myspace page I've ever seen has been made by someone who doesn't realise that really tiny brightly coloured images do not make good tiled backgrounds if you want to read what is on the page. I guess it's lucky I generally don't want to read the page.

I feel like the essential difference is that Myspace tries to make it like you're making your own webpage, basically. they're just doing a lot of it for you.
whereas Facebook is just a social networking thing. type in your responses to questions and it will display them, and let people search for you through this.

Until the age of seven I believed women conceived by having the dude piss (urinate? Is that better?) all over their stomachs. This was the result of some poorly explained, imaginative information from my parents, who obviously weren't content leaving me wondering exactly how special that special cuddle was.

Of course, it was only relatively recently that I learned about a certain sexual fetish which may involve the more golden side of a male's liquid parts. I try not to apply this to the people who brought me into this cruel, ironic world.

Oh man how this rules. I'm sometimes a wrong kind of person in various ways, but this is my favorite new person posting of all time, I think.
