I tried to look myself up on myspace and all I got was this:
“Your search bears no result.”
I prefer “There are no results”, “There are 0 results”, or some derivative of same. “You search bears no result” sounds as if I put more effort into it, and failed. True, I failed to find myself (on myspace — in the world, I find myself fairly easily), but do they really need to highlight my failure in such a depressing way?
So, I’ve added a myspace profile, just to see what it is all about. Other than Susie Felber, whom I usually ogle here, or Rachel Kramer Bussel, who really makes me wish I was a cupcake every time I look at her picture on Susie’s space, I haven’t found a reason to visit myspace.
I was a bit surprised to log in this morning and find that I had a friend. WTF?!– someone has already linked to me! How do I get rid of him? HELP! Turns out, he’s some sort of myspace personnel and is something like a friend stand-in for those of us who are friendless. I feel much better already.
Now that I’ve filled in a bit more of the personality information for myspace, people will be flocking to me, begging to be my friend. I’ll need to buy a bigger stick to beat them back with.
