I knew he'd regret mentioning it in last week's column.
I've stayed in touch with those I wanted to.
I've heard this argument a lot, but I'm a bit rubbish at staying in touch, so it's actually proved useful for me in catching up with people. Also, I've found some people I used to quite like who I'd forgotten about.

I feel that I made the effort. There are times when I feel guilty but what can you do? I can't keep up contact with everyone I liked, can I. Also I use things like that to find out about people, I don't want people finding out anything about me! [/paranoia]

So, i'm getting a bit tired of the dudes i know on facebook Is it 1) somewhat crepey to be approaching random ilxors to be "friends" on this fucking thing?
or 2)muygoodbutstillslightlycrepeytimes?
― Drooone, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 01:24 (6 years ago) Permalink
if these ilxors know who you are, i.e., you are regularly interacting with people on ilx, then not so crepey, i don't know, maybe depends on time known too
what is crepey is poking, to me. why not just send a msg saying hi? i don't understand it.

The "hilarious" innuendo that goes with poking is upsetting.

Just found an ex of mine I haven't seen for five years. DO I SEND HER A MESSAGE? God, the anguish.

I have never poked anyone nor been poked
― Curt1s Stephens, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 01:37 (6 years ago) Permalink
chap you should friend her and detail that "We hooked up and it was torturously awkward"
I also hate the hilairrriousness of dudes status updates. This one wank i know currently has his as: 'is starting to get over fielding calls from models who want to get dirty on his arse.'.
it was previously: 'is wondering why he is doing multi-coloured turds'.
NOT FUNNY, my friend.

Bizarro. So far I'm just mostly using it as a good myspace analog.

Nah, just cloning.

I think I'll do it tomorrow. A 2.30AM message would have 'crazy internet stalker from the past' written all over it.

if you figured out cloning, ned, the internet would have to be renamed the interned

Give me time.
(Unrelated rofflyness -- from a recent Momus comment on his LJ re:ILX :
I'm not going to launch into a diatribe about how it's all polls now, or how you have to be Ned Raggett to fit in, or how idle watercooler-style chatter has banished the intelligent discourse.
Hooray! Oh wait.)

My sister's ex just added me as a friend. Now I have 2 friends. I am so popular.

so does one 'poke back'? like, out of curiousity? (pos know this person? hm, memory not so helpful)
― rrrobyn, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 02:07 (6 years ago) Permalink
Don't poke, write a "please to explain poke" message to it.

i'm a fan of less effort on my part hence poking back holy crap i am totally procrastinating
― rrrobyn, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 02:18 (6 years ago) Permalink
I think the poke-back is a little too lols and chummy, keeping distance with a "how do I know you?" is how I would approach this grave dilemma.
― Drooone, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 02:20 (6 years ago) Permalink
i am lols and chummy these days

This photo is further proof that that guy I was whining about before is a twat. On the left. (sorry abt the whining, btw)

Is he a twat because he has a six pack or because he is on a fuck-off big boat posing on the Harbour?
― Hard like armour, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 04:46 (6 years ago) Permalink
Ok, first he's a twat because every single thing he says on facebook is forged in the fiery pit of lolzheeelarity. second the vizor. third at school he was a scrawny tiny little coxswain now he's sporting a sweeet kind of flabby twopack or something and obviously here to show it off and party.
― Drooone, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 04:51 (6 years ago) Permalink
that's all I got.
maybe i'm the twat.

Ha, no, he's about a foot shorter than me. We used to be good m8s, but drifted apart etc etc.

Coxswain. Private school I presume.

I think if you poke someone back, then they can see your profile for a bit, and you can see theirs. I think.
Is anyone using Virb? It's like a prettier version of myspace but with flickr/video integration. I'm not convinced it offers enough that is new, and there are only about ten people on it, but it's definitely nicer to use. (http://www.virb.com/missekawasaki/)

I don't get the pokes, either. The one person I've poked is my husband. (Oh, how that SOUNDS.) But neither of us get it.
Chaki, I will add you! (You may reject me at will.)
