ATTENTION:
I do not add private profiles if you don`t send me a message first! How will I know who you are or how you found me if I can`t see your profile?
--- I normally don`t do random adds either.
So if you want to add me, but we have never met, have no connections or mutual friends or acquaintances in real life (or on MySpace), please send me a message at least..
The sleazy ones with barely dressed girls plastered all over their Top Friends won`t get added no matter what.. So don`t even bother, mmmkay?
