CREATE YOUR OWN! - or - GET PAID TO TAKE SURVEYS!
I'd like to meet:
The beautiful, clever, funny girl of my dreams... anybody that might aspire to that title... people who know me... people who met me once and thought I was relatively cool... friends of friends... um.... people who enjoy the silly crap I write........
Frankly, it's always nice, exciting, flattering to get umpteen-dozen friend requests every few weeks.... but to be entirely honest, and I hope I won't hurt any feelings, I have enough of the following categories of myspace friends:
bands I've never heard of
strangers in southeast asia
that sad breed, the "friend collector"
girls in lingerie who don't intend to actually ever meet me
girls in clothes who don't intend to actually ever meet me
nice, friendly well-meaning dudes and dudettes who I'm sure would make great friends, with blogs that I might even be interested in reading, except we'll never actually meet, and I'm too busy getting guilt-tripped for not reading my ACTUAL friends' blogs, not to mention too busy leading a largely analog life, to sort through all of it.
clean-cut, Type-A go-getters who just happen to have the secret to making my every dream come true, which, as providence would have it, they're selling right on their myspace pages!
Now, being in one of these categories doesn't mean I will unequivocally refuse to add you to my friends list. It just means I will have to send you my beloved "Myspace Random Friend Request Form Letter", reproduced below. You can save me the trouble by sending a response to this letter at the same time as you send the friend request. No, I'm not making you jump through these hoops because I think I'm so hot and everybody wants to know me... though I AM kind of a big deal. No, no, just kidding... I just want to save us all some time and energy. Thanks! Peace, and humptiness, forever.
(here's the form letter)
"I haven't looked at your page yet... sorry, I promise I will when you write back... but I obviously have to weed out the spam-bots and fakesters from the EIGHTY-FIVE friend requests I received in the last 2 weeks, so I came up with these questions below.
why add me? think I'm cool? how come? do we have common friends or interests? were you just drawn in by my intense gaze? to what do I owe the honor of your friend request?
thanks again! (if you're not a spam-robot)
-Perrin
P.S. for extra credit, describe yourself in 5 words.
P.P.S. HEY YOU BAND! DID YOU EVEN LOOK AT MY PAGE BEFORE TRYING TO ADD ME? CONVINCE ME THAT YOU'RE PHILSOPHICALLY BETTER THAN RINGTONE/SEX-CAM/VIAGRA MARKETING. Tell me who your influences are and what you sound like. Write back with some of your best lyrics. Let me know if, by chance, you stand for anything. I'm really sorry but I AIN'T going to the page and listening to the whole catalogue of EVERY BAND THAT ADDS ME EVERY WEEK. "
