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 (sixteen years ago) link
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.
― chap, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 01:37 (sixteen years ago) link
I have never poked anyone nor been poked
― Curt1s Stephens, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 01:37 (sixteen years ago) link
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.
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 01:42 (sixteen years ago) link
so now it's just Evil Ned on myspace?
― rrrobyn, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 01:43 (sixteen years ago) link
Nah, just cloning.
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 01:44 (sixteen years ago) link
I think I'll do it tomorrow. A 2.30AM message would have 'crazy internet stalker from the past' written all over it.
― chap, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 01:44 (sixteen years ago) link
if you figured out cloning, ned, the internet would have to be renamed the interned
― rrrobyn, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 01:45 (sixteen years ago) link
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.
― Hard like armour, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 01:50 (sixteen years ago) link
i cant find any friends on this thing!
― chaki, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 01:52 (sixteen years ago) link
did they all tell you their last name was smith?
― rrrobyn, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 01:54 (sixteen years ago) link
You can find me, surely!
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 01:55 (sixteen years ago) link
found you!
― chaki, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 01:56 (sixteen years ago) link
Yay!
Stepping out, will be back later, etc.
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 01:57 (sixteen years ago) link
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 (sixteen years ago) link
Don't poke, write a "please to explain poke" message to it.
― Drooone, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 02:09 (sixteen years ago) link
hm
― rrrobyn, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 02:14 (sixteen years ago) link
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 (sixteen years ago) link
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 (sixteen years ago) link
i am lols and chummy these days
― rrrobyn, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 02:24 (sixteen years ago) link
sort of

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 (sixteen years ago) link
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 (sixteen years ago) link
that's all I got.
maybe i'm the twat.
― Drooone, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 04:52 (sixteen years ago) link
..It's his facebook profile photo btw.
― Drooone, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 05:04 (sixteen years ago) link
did this guy beat you up or something?
― The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 06:12 (sixteen years ago) link
Ha, no, he's about a foot shorter than me. We used to be good m8s, but drifted apart etc etc.
― Drooone, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 06:17 (sixteen years ago) link
Coxswain. Private school I presume.
― Hard like armour, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 06:21 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah m8. JEEPS m8
― Drooone, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 06:24 (sixteen years ago) link
What's with the matching shorts?
― Hard like armour, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 06:29 (sixteen years ago) link
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/)

― rrrobyn, Thursday, 24 May 2007 03:05 (sixteen years ago) link
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.)

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