"Can I say you're my girlfriend on Facebook?"

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

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.

so now it's just Evil Ned on myspace?

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.

i cant find any friends on this thing!

did they all tell you their last name was smith?

You can find me, surely!

found you!

Yay!

Stepping out, will be back later, etc.

so does one 'poke back'? like, out of curiousity? (pos know this person? hm, memory not so helpful)

Don't poke, write a "please to explain poke" message to it.

hm

i'm a fan of less effort on my part
hence poking back
holy crap i am totally procrastinating

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.

i am lols and chummy these days

sort of

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

they had better be listening to Christopher Cross

Is he a twat because he has a six pack or because he is on a fuck-off big boat posing on the Harbour?

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.

that's all I got.

maybe i'm the twat.

..It's his facebook profile photo btw.

did this guy beat you up or something?

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.

yeah m8. JEEPS m8

What's with the matching shorts?

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/)

everyone add me!! im c0ry sk1ar.

i thought your name was chaki

still do not understand pokes
will add chaki

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.)

ok, i'm now here now. hunt for j3remy s41m0n.

Ha ha just joined ILX/M group. Sadly this means that people will now find where I spend my day and get all my jokes! Maybe I should unsubscribe just to be safe!

Yes, me and my boyfriend poke each other several times a day. Wait, what?

Dear god how I hate humanity sometimes...

Does "I hooked up with..." imply a sexual relationship or not?

it's only used ironically

not from this angle

Yes, me and my boyfriend poke each other several times a day.

hahaha. You kids and your boundless energy.

finally joined facebook this afternoon and I am frankly amazed how many ppl contacted me in a v short period of time, compared with myspace where I find i get friended in dribs and drabs (and mainly by bands these days, tho I don't mind that).
