"Don't ever lose faith in who you are, for that's what makes you different.
Don't try to turn yourself into someone everyone else is, for if that happens, the world is a poorer place."
- Sept 2005
I love my friends. Well, most of them at least. Inspired by something I saw on my learned friend bibi's friendster profile, I sought my own answers. And here's the result.
Quite simply, this little panel tells you what your friends, i.e. those in your friendster network like to use the friendster search engine (and its associated cronies) to look for. So while Bibi's friends liked looking for free stuff, I have a slight problem here.
My friends seem to have 1) become chinamen (and chinawomen) 2) become S.H.E. fans (I think I already know someone who's a fanatical S.H.E. fan - Terence the Spiderman Koh please stand up) 3) become porn addicts
No now, this is not a random search string result. Looked at a few other random profiles and saw perfectly normal search strings there, and haha. I actually compared this set of results to another I took 3 days ago. It's slightly better actually. The one I had 3 days ago showed me that people in my network seem to have particularly disturbing, and globally illegal tendencies.
So now, do you feel ashamed of yourself? If you do, join the Live8 / Make Poverty History movement. C'mon, redeem yourself!
Much as I find the entire thing overwhelming, over-hyped, over-done, over-cooked, over-exposed, over-everythinged, it makes sense. Particularly after watching John Q today. If you can help save a life, please do. But do bear in mind that there are many ways to save lives. If Sir Bob Geldof's way to save lives is to sing sing sing, so be it.
Got loads more to blog about, but sadly, this awaits me.
