I have finally caved and created myself a myspace account. I still don’t understand the kids these days, and I fucking draw the line at Facebook, but there you go.
I even posted my best myspace/fat girl angle cameraphone shot:
Tom is my only friend. Help a girl out.

If I could bloody figure out how to do it, I would! How do you a) ask to be added to someone’s friend list or b) invite someone to be added to yours? I’m pretty internet savvy for an old lady but still can’t figure this out?!?!?
word.
Seriously cute photo but I’m way too exhausted to get into myspace as well as all this.
Oh, blue milk, I totally hear you. I only meant for people with existing accounts to friend me; I would not be so cruel as to ask people to create accounts. Quite frankly, the only reason I put up a page was to (theoretically) help more people find my blogs.
Also, thanks!
Oh, and deja pseu, all I’ve figured out so far is that if you visit someone’s profile while you’re logged in, you can click “add as friend.”
You would get more friends if you show your boobs.
Good point.
Holy crap, you took that on a camera phone?
You should get a facebook account – myspace is full of annoying features you can’t turn off and is in general a less useful and more annoying tool.
Sara, yep, that was my trusty Treo. Which I’m about to get rid of because I don’t need all those features and just want a tiny phone I can carry in my bra again. But the camera’s good.
And okay, sell me on Facebook. Why is it useful?
I’m not a Facebook fan, myself. The interface just doesn’t seem very intuitive and the whole site feels too cliquey. I like the openness of MySpace. Both sites let you connect with people you know, but MySpace goes beyond that. Facebook seems to just stop there. Which might have some benefits, except that hardly anyone I know actually uses Facebook.
Hiya. Been lurking for a while after I found a link to you over at Big Fat Blog. Love, love, love your writing.
I’ve just signed up for MySpace myself (I have work that is coming out in an anthology, and it was getting to be too big of a pain to not have my own account). I have a dearth of friends as well.
I sent a request to you through MySpace to add you. I think. It is a bit confusing, the process.
MySpace is kinda annoying, but the network is so huge, you’ll be surprised the people you can find on it. (I reconnected with a bunch of high school friends and people from former jobs.) Don’t worry – you’ll go from 1 friend to a dozen right quick!
I sent you a friend request ^__^ I love your blog, I’m really starting to get into the size acceptance scene.
Hahaha, welcome to MySpace! Give it a month or two before you get tired of it and start blogging about the inanity (however you spell that) of that “little” networking site. Pimp up your MySpace page a bit, come on…you know you want to do it. Someone is not a MySpacer until she have gone through the ‘pimping stage’!
You know what, Penguin? I pimped it with this fab template the other day, but somehow, that removed the links in my “about me” section. I couldn’t figure out how to fix that, and since the whole fucking point of my myspace page is to link to my blogs, I decided I’d rather leave it au naturel.
Who is that Tom guy anyway?
Oh, just play around with all those templates that they have. Some templates are really for narcissist to play around with who doesn’t link ANYWHERE. They are just contented to have adoring publics. I’m sure you’ll find one you’ll like. =)
