myspace is funny.
I have actually received a few nice emails from myspace boys lately (intriguing guys I might actually meet for a drink), but it never fails there’s an email that comes across that makes me roll my eyes.
I’ll give you all an insider’s tip about impressing me: I like a guy who has some reasonable knowledge of grammar and spelling!
Here’s one that came over tonite:
“Hello, how are you doing , my name is Jones,and am 32 from Tx, Houston, am new here in the site,i was going through the profile of all the women on the site and i came across yours,i must tell you that among all the profile of womens i saw here ,yours is the one that caught all my attention most,because you are beautiful ,looking nice,and i saw it in your profile that you will be a caring and also a loving woman,i will like to get to know you well,if you have a yahoo mail id let me know so that i can add you up,because…”
I mean, that’s nice & all he’s so into my profile… but oy… *rolls eyes*
I also get some a number of emails from guys who have profiles that are practically empty. Like they just signed up to email me? Flattering I guess, but if you have no friends, no photos (or just one) and nothing written up about you, then how am I supposed to figure out if I want to email you back? hahaa. I mean it *might* say they have a life and more to do than fill out profiles on myspace, but then again, with the looks of your the emails that are sent to me, I kinda doubt it!
And why would I just want to “chat” with some guy long distance? That is so 1997.
Another one I got recently was from a guy who seemed cool… an artist… but he types every single email in ALL CAPS. I HATE THAT. You know how some people can be annoying just emailing? hahaha. Not a good sign. Sorry, CAPS GUY, I can’t deal.
But the other day I got a REALLY good (in a bad way) email – check this shit out: (uumm, except if you’re a child, then don’t read this & pollute your young innocent mind with his filthy thoughts!)
“This life,this season,this city …..makes me feel the wonderful existence , I feel so good.
How about we take a car ,listening Led zeppelin very loud,going to tamalpais , we explore there , we do meditation,we smoke or drink,we have a very deep and “fullfill” conversation.
If we feel atraction we kiss each other mouths
we get on fire .
We rent a nice hotel at night, we take a hot shower naked ,we kiss each other mouth ,and we go beyond orgasmmmmhh!!
I’m completly clean and safe,I don’t have a judgemental mind,I don’t care who you think you are,but I’ll love you and your feelings.I have no time to lose .
Hit me back if you are down seXymama!! ; ) “
one word: EEEEGADS!
Is he emailing that off to like 50 girls just seeing if he gets one response? I mean, SERIOUSLY, does he think I’m going to email him back & just be like “oh, cool! you’re clean AND safe – I’m IN!”
What an idiot. I’ll even give you his profile, but I’ll warn you – it might crash your browser, and or make you get mad that people have so much control on myspace that they can turn a webpage into such a horrible horrible place: Arielo
Thank goodness there’s actually a few redeeming guys in the whole lot of fools.

Curses to you myspace! Design disaster central. I found a friend from highschool and I can’t even bare the thought of talking to her because her myspace profile is so chockfull of animated gifs. It makes me want to curl up and die. Sunshine Gurl I’d be very scared if she wrote me.
I’m a grammar/spelling snob myself. The occasional spelling thing, or typo, no problem. Alot is the the spelling mistake that irks me the most. OMG. It’s all over the place!! You don’t say “alittle”, so why would you say “alot”? I have no idea why that one bothers me so much, but it does.
And on the Illustrator front… versioning is the key. You’ll never lose stuff again. Disk space is cheap compared to your time. illustration_v1.eps illustration_v2.eps, etc… Then at the end of the day, delete up to the last three. Our software at work saves temp versions to the servers every third keystroke or mouse click. You don’t notice it since it buffers it first. Thank God though! It has saved my ass more than 50 billion times. I swear, true story.
I wish that shit had crashed my browser instead of burned my retinas. Obviously the guy is a virgin because there’s nothing in his mind between taking a shower naked and orgasmmmmhh, as it were.
Hi, I LIke you blog, you have best blog I see when look around. not many have good blogger to see. u wanna go to romantic plaze!? i know where. im good and clean adn u’ll like what their is to offer. email me at asdfajh1232@hotmail.com- I wait for it!
hahahaaa. good call lulu. could be, the boy’s only 22! I just noticed that today. I get a lot of emails from young boys, but I really can’t get used to them saying “older women are hot”. uuhh, eeww. don’t call me “older” if you’re trying to get somewhere w/ me, pal! haha
oy, chris – you weren’t kidding. that’s painful. and looks like someone even called her out on her hotlinking to an image & she hasn’t even taken it down yet. damn hotlinkers!
thanks for the versioning tip. I can imagine working on movies, you need that auto-backup something fierce! Sounds pretty sweet.
p.s. ryan – i mean sexymann123 – aren’t you supposed to be dodgeballing from some bar? :p
haha! ryan’s “sexymann123″ comment totally cracked me up…
do people who put sh*t all over their myspace pages even go back to look at it and see if it’s viewable/legible? what’s the point in typing all that crap out about yourself if no one can read it? i’m like – click – you’re gone! haha.
Damn funny place, that myspace… I love the obligatory “camera in mirror” profile picture everyone seems to have. Did you happen to see The Daily Show’s blurb on it last week? Hilarious! Below is a crude link referencing the bit, the clip on google video is down. I’m sure someone out there has it Tivo’d for your viewing pleasure… Well worth the hunt!
See ya!

Haha! You’re hilarious. Fend off them less-than-suitable suitors!
Hell ya I hear you Willo. I get lots of emails from young girls that have annoying grammer and or they want me to give them my real email address. Probably to spam the shit out of me with porn. I mean really I got one from a fourteen year old the other day!! What hell is wrong with people.
Great post by the way I was cracking up the whole time.
Is it grammer or grammar :) I can’t remenber! Irony is the spice of life!
