16 Unspoken MySpace Rules:
1. If you're ugly, stop acting like you don't know it. The captions under your picture that says "top model pose" doesn't convince anyone.
2. To the people who have like 25,098 friends, are you serious? Nobody in this universe has that many friends. You're stupid. Go kill yourself.
3. Don't ever post pictures and say "OMG, I'm so ugly" because if you were, you wouldn't post them.
4. Nobody cares about threats over the internet. Don't try to act hardcore with the keyboard. Fighting online is like racing in the special olympics; even if you win, you're still retarded.
5. Making 20 bulletins a day about how you have new pictures and begging people to comment on them is pathetic. Make the bulletin once if you have to, and those who actually care about you will comment on your pics.
6. If all your pictures look the same, don't post them all. Please put some variety in your pics. Nobody wants to see your face 8 different ways.
7. Who really gives a rat's ass if I don't accept you as a friend? MOVE ON. Don't send me another request or message asking "what's up with you not adding me?" I don't want you as a friend; that's what's up!
8. Little 6th, 7th, and 8th graders who have MySpace and look like sluts, go somewhere else because nobody wants you here.
9. If you have decided to read this, you are a true MySpace Friend. Real friends read their profiles.
10. I say you go and pass this on and maybe it will finally get through people's brains (if they have them).
11. And if you open a bulletin and it says something like "you will die in 10 days if you dont repost this," IT'S NOT REAL! QUIT BEING A FUCKING BABY!
12. Tom is not going to charge for myspace. That would be stupid for him to do so stop posting bulletins about it.
13. MySpace was created to keep up with friends. Quit trying to check up on your ex. Come on now people, it's called "stalking." You might as well be sitting in front of their house with binoculars.
14. Stop posting "goodnight bulletins." MySpace is not your spouse, dumbass.
15. Stop with the ebonics. "Fitty cent" is not a name, and "axe" isn't a verbal action, it's a weapon/tool. Ebonics only make you look like a retard.
16. While we're on the topic of "retarded," pLeAsE sToP tYpInG lIkE tHiS. It doesn't make you look WiLd -n- CrAzY, just stupid.
How evil are you?

You are an Elementalist. Your magic stems from the
forces of nature. You might be a forest
nuturing Druid, a storm-creating
Weather-Wizard or any of the many Elementals,
but one thing is sure-- your bond with nature
is strong. You can rely heavily on nature to
support yourself aesthetically or physically
for it lends you both comfort and strength.
Your instincts rarely fail you. You are
vibrantly passionate but are sometimes
carried away by your own emotions.
Which Magical Order Are You In?
brought to you by Quizilla
The Wizard's Rules, as per Terry Goodkind :
First Rule: "People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe its true, or because they are afraid it might be true." Wizard's First Rule (said to be the most important)
Second Rule: "The greatest harm can result from the best intentions." Stone of Tears
Third Rule: "Passion rules reason." Blood of the Fold (said to be the most insidious)
Fourth Rule: "There is magic in sincere forgiveness- the magic to heal. In the forgiveness you grant, and more so in the forgiveness you receive." Temple of the Winds
Fifth Rule: "Mind what people do, not only what they say, for deeds will betray a lie." Soul of the Fire
Sixth Rule: "The only sovereign you can allow to rule you is reason." Faith of the Fallen (said to be the hub on which all rules turn)
Seventh Rule: "Life is the future, not the past." The Pillars of Creation
Eighth Rule: "Deserve victory." Naked Empire
Ninth Rule: "A contradiction cannot exist in reality. Not in part, nor in whole." Chainfire
Tenth Rule: "Willfully turning aside from the truth is treason to one's self." Phantom
Eleventh Rule: "********************" (read the book for yourself) Confessor

If you're going to leave a comment, please make them safe for work and no more than two images. There are people who still use archaic 56k modems.
If you want to add me as a friend, send me a message stating why you want to. I just don't randomly add "ZOMG I CANT FRIENDZOR U!!!11ELEVENTY" children. It would also help to not have your profile set to private so I can see who I'm adding. I know this goes against the mentality of MySpace, but it's my profile and I'll do whatever I want with it. No view profile, no friend request. I won't even consider it anymore.

Television:

VHS tapes, video games, WWE Smackdown

Back when there were TV shows worth watching (about 7-8 years ago): Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, anything Star Trek, the original Transformers, the original Voltron (the five lions, not all those fucking vehicles), Monty Python's Flying Circus, Dexter's Laboratory, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Beavis and Butt-Head, Aeon Flux, Daria, Animaniacs, Tiny Toons, the first season of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers (it was so fucking camp it was funny, but it got stupid after they introduced Zedd), Are You Afraid of the Dark?
------------------------------------
In other words, my pop culture knowledge effectively cuts off somewhere around 2001. That's when TV started sucking, and random glances at the idiot box show me it never really improved.
