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

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)

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!

I don't get the pokes, either. The one person I've poked is my husband.

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).

Still won't do it.

I mean, my boss is on Facebook. 'Nuff said.

What is the ILX0r group? How do I join it?

Does anyone else find this more incomprehensible than MySpace/Friendster. I have no idea what to do.

"Hooked up with" does imply snogged/boffed, but most people use it as a joke.

I have managed to avoid being friended by ex-school people by using my name that only came into being a couple of years after I left. Ha!

"hooked up with" has the virtue of being open to interpretation, and a casual, short-lived sexual relationship is definitely one of those interpretations

I used my internet psuedonym which confused old college friends. But I really don't want to use my real name. I don't know why, this seems more adult and almost every one else is.

Facebook is easy for me, but I think it's harder for new people to get a handle on now that they've got all the new features and "applications" (ugh)

people don't use pseudonyms on Facebook, if you want to be less searchable just use your last initial instead of your last name, or something like that. Personal FB pages don't show up on Google, and only FB members who are in your network/are your friends can see your page.

I finally relented a week or 2 ago and signed up after being hassled by several friends to join as "everyone we know is on it". But actually pretty much only the friends who were hassling me are on it! I joined the ILM group. No-one from my past who I either wanted to get in touch with or wanted to avoid has turned up yet.

I might try the last inital. I wanted to use MsMisery as nearly everybody knows me as that. Real-life friends I've known in the past few years know me as Samantha as well but not people I was in school with 12 years ago. :(

What is the ILx group called? I could only find my college.

"I Love Music"
