Posted: Tue Mar 17, 2009 7:52 pmYep i'm on facebook.
Came in very handy when half of my school mates pissed off on their OE's.
Enabled me to check in on their travels and see just how much fun they were having compared to me....
Its amazing how many people add you via other friends that you haven't seen for years! I had a friend from when I was about 12 add me haha

Posted: Tue Mar 17, 2009 11:54 pmI'm on both facebook and the other one. They're good for keeping in touch with people you otherwise wouldn't have contact with. I just get sick of all the entertainment crap they put on there (apps, games, quizzes, "if you were a llama what type of llama would you be" sorta bullshit).
Be nice if people didn't randomly add you because "i saw u on my frendz page lolzzz n i added u"

Posted: Wed Mar 18, 2009 2:06 amI find facebook interesting for sure.
You can tell a lot about some people by their photos, its interesting that someone could go to France, or Melbourne, or a party, or a beach, or whatever else... And not be interested in taking any pictures of anything but themselves 100 times over, usually not even with scenery in the background or whatever. Vain much?
Seondly it's interesting, because it helps me piece together nights "Hey, I dont remember doing that!" But milage may vary depending on how much of a pathetic drunkard you are.
Thirdly, it's interesting because a metric shitload of attractive women that I know love to pose saucy pictures of themselves, in a competitive sort of way to try and look hotter than their freinds.
Oh, and the reverse happening of course... Trying to make their friends look worse than them, to make themselves look better in an underhanded sort of way.
Which raises another point, apparently 'xoxoxoxo' constitutes punctuation these days. It's really irritating seeing girls trying to out 'cute' each other. bargh. In some cases its escalated to the point where again, grown women really do actually seem mildly retarded
Also, it pains me to see people who insist on posting every mundane aspect of their life on there. Not all attention is good attention people, YOUR LIFE SEEMS SHIT AND MUNDANE AND BORING IF THE HIGHLIGHT OF YOUR DAY IS POSTING 70 PICTURES OF YOU MAKING AND EATING A GOD DAMNED SANDWICH.
ad nauseum for 70 god damn photos, $&#$% you!
I also cant help but laugh when the photo spammers post up some god awful pictures of even themselves, because they dont actually bother to check any of the pictures before posting them up.
I lol'd when a friend posted a whole bunch of upskirt pics of her and her friends, because she didnt bother to look at them before uploading them

Posted: Wed Mar 18, 2009 3:07 amThere are men on the internet who claim to be the best Photoshoppers in the world. There are competitions for it, NZPC used to have one every month.
Dave, however, is the KING of MSPAINT!
LONG LIVE THE KING!

Posted: Wed Mar 18, 2009 9:39 amFor all my winging, whining and moaning I have toyspeed... that pretty much satisfies my social need
Posted: Wed Mar 18, 2009 9:51 amI can stand those social networking sites, so no I dont have a face book. The only one I have is mixi ([url]mixi.jp[/url]) , which is a Japanese one, but I hardly ever use that
