Music, Photography, Cinema, Sport (mainly football & cricket), Travel, My cats, Nature, Food, Sleeping...
Interesting, open minded people, and especially those who also have a passion for music. Anyone who'd be up for going to gigs and/or anyone who would be willing to help me in any way with my photography would be a bonus!
If you add me, please also send me some kind of introduction/hello type message as well. I'm not here just to get the highest number of 'friends' I can so unless we are going to speak at least occasionally then it's all a bit pointless, isn't it?
About Add Requests From Bands
I'm getting so many add requests from bands that I can't possibly keep up with checking them all out. I love music and I do enjoy discovering new bands and artists, but sometimes it's a bit too much all at once!
So... from now on, unless the band/artist sends me some kind of personal message with the request (to show that they aren't only adding me to boost their friend count) I'm probably not gonna be able to check their page out. I just don't have the time.
About 'Top Friends'
Sometimes MySpace can make you feel like when you were at school and always got picked last in gym/P.E. class or weren't 'popular' enough to hang out with all the 'cool kids*'.If I haven't put you on my top friends list it's not due to a similar scenario (*not that I'm suggesting that I'm one of the cool kids... but you know what I mean)!
I usually change my list around every now and then anyway (so if you were there and are now not there it doesn't indicate that I love you any less :P). Mostly I just choose the 'top friends' based on how often I'll need to find their pages again. Since the 'view all friends' thing can't be put in any kind of logical order, alphabetical or otherwise (nice one Tom!), it can take an age to seek out a contact that I might need to message quite quickly.
