this made me laugh out loud three separate times :)

Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, LiveJournal...this song applies to all of them. I have gotten "friending" requests from some people and I've had the same reaction she had. "You are the same person who has acted like an ass to me face-to-face; why on EARTH would I want to connect with you online?!?!?" is my thought. I wonder what people like that are really thinking when they send the "friending" request.

Thanks, that was LOL-worthy.

As it happens, nearly all of my ex's is my FaceBook friend (and some of them are my LiveJournal friends, which is saying considerably more) but I had good break-ups most of the time.

Also, Facebook is NOT where my real life is. I am the most shallow, happy and industrious there that I can appear. Most of my Facebook friends are clients and I feel like I'm attending an office christmas party whenever I'm there.

That is a wise approach to Facebook. I walk the same line there, on MySpace, on Twitter, and in public entries here. Unlike when I first began blogging six years ago, the mask only comes off in tightly filtered posts and personal emails. I figure there's no sense in troubling trouble. :-)

I don't see anything on this post at all except the title and mood. Is there a link?

[wlotus.livejournal.com]

It's an embedded YouTube video.

[jiffyschnapps.livejournal.com]

Oh weird. It did not embed on my friends page. They usually do though. I will go right to the source then! Thanks.

That would explain why sometimes I see entries on my reading list with nothing in the entry: those are embedded videos that did not work with my browser for some reason! I'd wondered.

Heh, totally worth the extra effort. Can I yank that and put it on my journal?

[jiffyschnapps.livejournal.com]

Are you using Mozilla? If so that might be it... although I just checked it out on IE too, to no avail. I wonder if it is something about the way we have our friends pages set up on lj... I might shoot a note to tech support at lj and see if they have encountered this. Thanks for the data!

Go ahead! I yanked it from somewhere else, too.
