Maybe it's not a good sign, but sometimes it really does feel like the whole universe is conspiring to make me as miserable as possible, like how yesterday I decided to get an account on Myspace.com, seeing as it would help me to feel better about myself if I got to meet more people, even if it is just online.
So I pick out a username, and set about writing a whole load of stuff about myself that hopefully won't put people off the idea of having anything to do with me. After a couple of hours re-reading and tweaking it I'm happy enough, and sign off to go and make some photos a bit more webable.
The trouble comes when I try and sign in again to upload the pictures. Username and password go into the little, boxes. I click on the little 'login' button. And I get a screen telling me I must be logged in to do this.
OK, so maybe I typed the password in wrong, so I try again a couple of times. Still no. Maybe I typed it in wrong when I made the account, so I click on the 'forgot password' button, and go check my email. Nope, the password is just as I entered it. Check the help page, clear cookies and cache, try again. Nope.
By now I've been getting 'verification' requests too, as I've had so many failed logins, so I've got to type in some characters from a wobbly image. After a few more tries it tells me my account doesn't exist any more.
Why do I -ing bother.
Maybe I should have just got on and done the work I've been meaning to on my own webserver. I've payed for a domain name, and can do stuff with it that almost makes Myspace.com look like a waste of time anyway, except I'm not going to meet anyone having a homepage sitting all on it's own in the middle of cyberspace.

It does say on the guy's page that he's an IT manager, so he obviously doesn't have a clue when it comes to computers, is probably a worshipper at the church of Bill Gates, and thinks MS Frontpage and Paint are the finest web design tools created.

They kinda play into it though, don't they?

no one deserves to be stereo typed
everyone should learn to respect each others choice as long as they are doing no harm with it then why have to say there preferences are crap cause they arent to your preference?

So like.... a week ago, I would have agreed with the topic title. Oh yes. I was fairly anti-myspace. Then a mate persuaded me (after a month of nagging, it seems) to finally get one.
And I like it.
Of course, in another week I'll hate it 'cos I'll still only have 13 friends and complain bitterly about how little friends I have.

You'll soon complain about how you have TOO MANY friends. Some of whom are complete strangers you've never spoken to whom you had just put the numbers up but then want to delete because they haven't actually spoken to you as they just wanted a higher number of friends...

You'd prefer that everyone on myspace was a teenager with a studded belt?
How bizarre.
But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

*has never owned a studded belt* am i missing out? i would have thought that the weight of the studs would haul your trousers down, not hold them up, i fail to see the point...
....i must be old before my time...
but then i don't think this man owns a studded belt either, isn't it strange that he'd want to own myspace...

I think the weight is to hold them down, to allow the correct display of one's CKs. You have to adopt a John Wayne style walk though, to stop them dropping to your ankles.
And to think we thought the fashions of the 60s/70s/80s looked odd.
