How many of you guys own a Myspace account?

If you do and want to share what's the link?

I have one.
I still don't get the point of it, but still.

I have like four friends.
And keep getting random asshole comments like, "wanna cam chat?".
And it's like, uh no, I do not.

i've got one[url=http://www.myspace.com/randomstranger].[/url] All my friends are either 1: real friends and/or family; B- high school buddies who've myspace'd me out of the blue (three of them last week!), or 3: business associates.

i like myspace for the groups they have there, but beyond that i've no idea what the site offers. sixy: how did you get the background on your page like that? how do i upload a song for people to listen to?

I always thought about getting one of these, perhaps I need a motive or incentive to. It just seems to me that all I can find is sex. Or webcams. Or sex on webcams. Is that a motive?

[QUOTE=Six On The Dot]Myspace is fucking brilliant. At first, I thought it was just a scene whore thing, and it pissed me off. but after a while I started talking to people who don't have the balls to talk to me in real life and I don't know well enough to talk to through AIM, and I'll admit I've grown closer to alot of people and seen most of them naked.[/QUOTE]
Oh, because, you know, if i don't know someone well enough its just too hard for me to talk to them on, you know, the internet.

I have two accounts because its fun to make up names and have outrageous sites. Otherwise it is a waste of time because most people on it are retarded.

Yeah, o man it does. You get that intense adrenaline rush and you wonder if you can get yourself out of this, if you can kick his ass or if its all one big joke. And you tense up and laugh nervously until....

Its cold.

Plastic isn't cold.

Is it?

Maybe he put it in a freezer to keep it cold, or its just a butter knife like in Choke...

but by then its too late and you only have Chuck to blame.

I have myspace. It's all friends, and we use it to tell eachother about the when and where of parties, camping, weekly meet ups and the like. I have some people from high school or elementary school (kinda weird) who try to add me but I usually don't add them if they were assholes back in the day.

Other than that it's cool to see some people I haven't talked to in 5 years, and this way we all know about who's having a party despite our busy lives.

I get a lot of random people and music groups that want me to add them but I don't add people I either won't end up talking to or won't end up hanging out with. I also delete people who end up being annoying.

so
[url]http://www.myspace.com/cptnawesome[/url]
i only started this yesterday and already two people from my past have located me. i did have an old account but i deleted it thinking "i don't need the internet to be cool" but apparently i do.
my space is a breeding ground for the socially inept.
so add me if you think we could talk.
ciao
