I'm on Friendster. Aren't you envious?
It's interesting. I joined at the invite of a friend and promptly wrote up a glowing yet humorous testimonial for him, 'cause I'm just that kind of girl. Then I remembered that FutureFireDancingWriterGirl (FormerlyKnownAsSarah) was on Friendster, so I linked up with her and wrote a glowing yet humorous testimonial for her as well. Because, again, I love my friends and want the world to know how special they are.
I still have no testimonal of my own. *pout* My friends suck.
Ok, no, they really don't. If they did, they wouldn't be my friends. But still, would a simple "Hey, Carol's a great gal!" be too much to ask for? Even though I stated in my profile that I'm "just here to help" and haven't said that I'm looking for someone to date and I really have enough friends to keep me socially busy as it is, though meeting new people is always fun?
Um, wait a minute - what was I saying? Never mind.
(Just wait, tomorrow FFDWG(FKaSarah) will read my 'blog and submit such a testimonial. 'Cause she's a smart-ass. Which is probably why she's my friend. FriendsterFriend would probably do the same thing, because he's a smart-ass too, but he doesn't read my 'blog.)
Personally, I'd love to set FFDWG(FKaSarah) up with a friend of FriendsterFriend. I don't know if they'd hit it off as more than friends, but they're both pretty cool people and I love it when cool people meet.
So, yeah, I've been a Friendster gal since near the end of August. I'm not too sure about it, since some of the folks on there are a little, um, well, frightening to me. I have gotten one message, though. From a guy calling himself Homey in Virginia. His pithy missive?
Okay then.
Sorry, Homey, that is on a totally need-to-know basis. And you? Don't need to know.
(I haven't responded to him yet because anything I write right now will be totally rude and I don't like to be rude. Unless it's really well-deserved.)
At least he wasn't like a guy on a matchmaking site who e-mailed me once, wanting to be my houseboy and to "service [me] anyway [I] want" on the basis of just my profile.
Or the guy from a different matchmaking site who, when I responded to his initial e-mail in a positive fashion, proceeded to e-mail me five or six times in one weekend with his phone number, wanting to get together that day. I was away from my computer all weekend, unaware of his e-mails until Monday morning. I sent him a very nice e-mail saying thanks, but no thanks, and maybe he should be careful about appearing over-eager in the future. Then I blocked him.
Where do these people come from? And why do they think I'd be interested in sex right away?
Okay, the picture I used is a really good one, with a bit of a mischevious, come-hither look. But it's a little blurry, shows absolutely no cleavage and I'm pretty sure it doesn't say, "E-mail me with your phone number and I'll fuck you tonight, big boy."
If that's all I wanted, I'd just go to Club Moxie every weekend in a mini-skirt and have the men ply me with alcohol. I certainly wouldn't spend money (my friend's, who had actually signed me up as a late birthday present back in May) on a matchmaking website or post a profile that specifically said, "Looking for a long term relationship."
I guess some guys think they're just the men to change my mind. Which makes me really glad I've been away from the matchmaking sites for a while. I'm happy I gave it try, for many reasons, but damn fellas, slow down and tuck it back in your pants. Sheesh.

Hey
Do you practice Tantra?
Okay then.
Sorry, Homey, that is on a totally need-to-know basis. And you? Don't need to know.
