Hello off topic!
Last night I, quite drunkenly, sent a message to this bloke I fancy via myspace.
Now that I'm sober I'm incredibly embarrassed and have decided to delete my myspace. I'm not even sure why I have one in the first place =/

ANYWHO, the point is that I had to do some crazy shizz like 'make a salute' because I needed to change the email address first. This included taking a picture of myself with the url on a sign beneath my face and attaching the file because they take privacy 'very seriously'.

Now, when did the world get this serious?

Why not wait a while...
...he might be receptive to your advances?

All men have surprisingly low standards.
True fact.

You might be surprised.
The feeling may be mutual.

Or, if it hadn't ever occurred to him to look at you in that light, this may be what captures his attention.

I don't want a boyfriend.
He's a nice enough bloke, cute too.
COMPLICATED, etc.

There's nothing that annoys a nice, cute bloke more...
...than a woman who expresses an interest and then clams up in shame.

It might be complicated, but he might be receptive.

You never know.

@PJM
srsly, it could be worse, okay?
He has pictures of his hot exgirlfriend dressed as a naughty cop from halloween to wank to.
He'll be okay.

You people are totally missing the point.
That was just the background story.
( Lisette von Falcon, Fri 30 Jan 2009, 14:28, Reply)

Indeed! Share the wealth, if you can get to them!
Anyway...

The world started getting serious when things started happening like the woman who harassed the girl to suicide through Myspace. It only takes one incident like that to make sphincters clench and paranoia to hit. They're covering their asses now, bigtime. And with good reason.

We're missing the point?
You're the one who messaged someone on Myspace when you were drunk.

If that's not what Myspace was meant for, fuck knows.

The world became serious
when Barack Obama became president.

He's outlawed spinning bow ties and squirty flowers too, the bastard.

YES. I completely forgot about that poor girl :'(

*snort*
if people are going to kill themselves it's usually for underlying reasons that have little or nothing to do with an episode like some online bullying.

If they actually kill themselves specifically because of such online bullying then they're doing the gene pool a favour.

Allow this man to plow you.

Problem solved.

Yea, because once we fuck we won't need to see eachother anymore.
Good idea!

You're welcome!
Now, go, be happy.

This can be an amazing arrangement. I have 2 right now myself.

He probably will be flattered/interested/willing. Shag him, I say!

Good luck. Some blokes is quite cool with sex-only.

Semper Fidelis.

If you let him do you from behind
you wont need to see each other during, either.

Unless there's a mirror, of course.

@CHCB
It's true that there were underlying things going on in the Myspace suicide case- but the fact is still that Myspace was the instrument used in bullying the girl, so things have tightened down so that can't be done again.

The case in question was particularly heinous because it was an adult messing with the head of a child. Had it been classmates messing with her it would have gotten far less attention, but it was a woman almost my age representing herself as a teenage boy. As it had some very serious consequences, Myspace et al are now pretty goddam serious about security, as they don't wish to be sued into oblivion. Can't blame them- I'd do the same.

@MrOli
yes, sex from behind, no kissing, etc
( Lisette von Falcon, Fri 30 Jan 2009, 14:52, Reply)

Life is too short to hide away from drunken messages.
What's the worst that can happen.

He doesn't reciprocate. So what. On to the next guy.


Of course this is easy for a middle aged woman to say. We tend to care less about loosing face in these situations as it's harder to get some action.
( girlinthehole, Fri 30 Jan 2009, 15:13, Reply)

So message him again to clarify
"What I meant to meant to say was I do want to use and abuse you, but you need to do me from behind and leave quickly afterwards so I can pretend you're someone else and look my friend/sister/neighbour/vicar's wife in the eye next time I see her.

And pull on my hair a bit too, please.

XxxxxXXX"

Sorted :-D

@Loon
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the woman found guilty of breaching MySpace's Terms of Service? Tellingly, she wasn't found guilty of any felonies.
( crackhouseceilidhband Fuck off back to Mumsnet, Fri 30 Jan 2009, 15:34, Reply)

I think you're right.
I don't recall what she was charged with formally, but I think that the fact that she was exposed publicly for doing this and has since had to move repeatedly due to death threats and vandalism to her house is a good start on her punishment, at least. Hopefully Megan's parents will continue to ensure that wherever Lori Drew goes, people are aware of who she is.

Anyway, to prevent lawsuits, Myspace et al are being more careful about checking for TOU violations- hence their caution on Kristine's account being changed.

I can beat that
I sent a stupid video of myself to a guy I like, miming along to a Kings of Leon song, attempting to be alluring and entertaining at the same time.

No fucking response...wont do that one again.
