I appear to have figured out MySpace

Published by Deanna Hoak April 26th, 2006 in blog

Well, I’ve now had a pic up on a MySpace account for an entire day and a half and haven’t gotten one weird message yet, which is very nice. I deleted my zip code and town and put in that I was only interested in networking, and it seems to have done the trick! says that guys use MySpace to look for babes within driving distance. :-)

At the moment, I’m still trying it out; but once I feel comfortable enough, I’ll link from there to my blog–or maybe I’ll just post a bulletin for those on my friends list, pointing them to my blog. (Charlie thinks I overworry, I know, but it was icky the first time!!)

So anyway, if you’re on there and want to add another friend, here’s my profile.

Looks good! (And, of course they look for you. You’re such a babe!)

Everyone seems to be getting a myspace account these days. I was wondering…. what is the purpose, besides being part of the “in” crowd?

For networking, have you tried LinkedIn?

I think the purpose is just to meet more people.

I hadn’t seen LinkedIn! That’s a neat site. Thanks!

Welcome to MySpace (and the horror of it all).

I’m sending you a friend request - I’m Sylvia over there.

You look good! I’m not a fan of MySpace though- too many unpleasant sorts lurking for my taste- but I guess it if works for you then that’s great!

Wow, you put that photo on MySpace and no one’s bugged you yet? What is this world coming to? :)

Heh. Hey, I’m pushin’ forty. I’m gonna enjoy the looks while I can. ;-)

That photo makes me think a mere two days behind the wheel would be worth it…

I have not yet braved the wilds of myspace, but one of these days I probably will…

Regarding the picture, a little story for you:

When I got your friend request the other day via e-mail, I clicked on the link to take me to my “friend approval” page, and when the friend request popped up with the picture, the following words leapt unbidden into my mouth: “Holy *crap,* she’s hot.” Which certainly got the attention of my wife, who was sitting on my office couch at the time. But then she saw the picture and agreed. So *that’s* all right.

Oh, now I’m blushing like mad and don’t even know what to say!

Just…I’m glad you’re not in trouble….

And thank you. :-)

I should look so good at 39. :)

You’re welcome!

And, yes, no trouble at all. Krissy’s trouble threshold is substantially higher than that (for which I, bumbling fool that I am, am eternally grateful).

Heh. Yeah, I’m lucky that way with my husband, too. I’d hate to be in continual trouble for appreciating the opposite sex. :-)
