About Me:
I am amused by the fact that the friendster help page
includes the frequently asked question, "How do I
delete a friend?" How indeed?
Oh, and you should read Candleblog: www.candleboy.com/candleblog/

Who I Want to Meet:
This Friendster thing seems to have legs, despite my early misgivings. Still, I have almost no use for it whatsoever. I could see it having some benefits if I were dating, but do people really make "friends" with this thing? I don't see how that would work. I think I might get kind of creeped out by a Friendster (who I don't already know from the "real" world) asking me out for coffee in a non-dating way.
The message board would have some use if you knew people were actually checking it. Maybe if the interface incuded a real-time IM aspect... then at least I would be motivated to check who's online. I don't know. Whatever. It's grey out today and I'm feeling negative.
Update: hey, there IS a live IM component now! Message me if you find me on friendster one of the 2 times a month I log in.

to the brim with trivia, and dang it-
looks like a producer/director any day
of the week!
His scripts are funny and insightful,
plus he's always coming up with
interesting ideas. Working with him is
fun too. Interestingly enough, there is
always coffee, a coffee shop, or some
coffee related thing in his films. Just
wait and see, NYU grad students will be
writing their theses about the role of
coffee in his films. Bill is always
calm and witty, even under stress.
smart, funny, loyal, noble and just
plain fun to be with. My life is a
million times better with Bill in it.
Yours would be too.
thoughtful, hip, productive and supportive.
He gets things done and people connected,
Bill is the poster-boy of The New Sincerity!
anniversary that we observe every year,
which is extremely gay. I don't see
Bill often enough. This is mostly his
fault. Bill enjoys tennis and hats and
is a skilled guitarist. For many of his
friends, Bill is an island of calm in
the stormy sea of life. They love Bill
for this reason.
