My father would be so ashamed. He used the old "if everyone was jumping off a cliff, would you?" rhetorical question to teach me to buck peer pressure, and it worked. But now, now I have caved in. I'm nothing but a sheep now. A spineless follower. Because I got a MySpace account.

Posted by: whatveer at June 18, 2006 01:14 PMJulie, allow me to borrow a quote that was once used to castigate me, reprove me, and inspire me to stretch my wings and soar to lofty heights: O how the mighty have fallen.
Whatveer, you know full well you did that to vex my righteous editor's soul.

(and yes, that's totally why i did it. so what?)
just as long as your faithful readers can find you on the web. bensfriends is already bookmarked, and i'm not sure i can figure out how to change that over to whatever this myspace nonsense is. i get nervous whenever technology has to get involved. =>P
Posted by: turth at June 18, 2006 05:26 PMyes, and I noticed that some PYT was the first friend on your list, so you're obviously getting the hang of the way things work there. speaking of which, I need to make some headway in that area...
Posted by: Brade at June 19, 2006 02:13 PMI had to look PYT up, Brad. That word apparently came around a little before my time. When a hit single of that same title hit the charts, I was still bald and my main means of interacting with the world around me was by putting things into my toothless mouth.
Not sure where that PYT came from. I just hit "Approve" whenever I get friend requests.
Posted by: sligh at June 19, 2006 03:04 PMSo I worked a good hour on a well crafted tirade against mySpace, calling it names like the AntiCreate and prepubescant. Rather incendiary rhetoric if I say so myself.
But I've rescinded, and now, I feel I need to at least leave this comment so I don't feel like I wasted that time.
Have a good Tuesday, Jon. Or in the mySpace vernacular, "Rox0rz y0 Tu3Zd@y!
Posted by: Sam at June 20, 2006 01:32 AMYou can sputter out protests all you like, Sam, but my sources tell me that in your private correspondence you regularly resort to emoticons and truncated expressions like "lol" and "imo," and you also fail to use proper capitalization and indentation.
Posted by: sligh at June 20, 2006 09:39 AMguess you've becoming a lemming following the crowd.
i have not gotten a myspace account...but i have a facebook account...and then my blog...all that is certainly enough.

Posted by: sligh at June 21, 2006 01:32 AMHey. If you really do put a small value upon yourself, rest assured that the world will not raise your price.
