Get Out of My Face(book)
The thing with social networks such as Friendster and Facebook is that you will find lots of strange unknown people adding you to their friends list.
Starm|st, being the anti-social person she is, decided to arm herself against such people by upping the privacy mode for these networks. In her facebook account, people who are not on her friends list can only see her profile picture and her name [and probably her nickname]. Her nickname says ’starm|st does not add people she does not know’.
Which part of that nick is difficult to understand?!
The number currently stands at 21. Some simply add without an explanation or a word. Some sounds sincere enough. And some are just plain wrong.
They are getting increasingly dodgy.
Today I got strange one [which is not the worst actually]:
Hi Sweetie… Happen to see your profile in my friend list of D***… U are such and sweetie… Did anyone told you that? How abt making friend.. Drop me a message and we shall start our woinderful journey of Sweet Chanting..LOL
WHAT sweet chanting????! Sounds like he belongs to a cult or something. And I am not his sweetie. #&@)#@*#%!! For some reason, I hatehatehate people calling me sweetie when they do not know me at all. A wonderful journey with him? Do. Not. Want! *runs away, petrified*
I do not know whether to be irritated or amused.
I know this post is unreasonably harsh. But I am also a little inebriated. On a Tuesday night. So.. BYE.

Hey, thanks for dropping by the blog.
Long time no see you in the CowBoyBar liao.
Anyway, the Barflies are having a Martell Death Match on 9th Feb. You are invited to join in the mayhem.
Check with Luvphobia for details.
wah. I met people worst than you. something starts off as “want to have more fun?”
wah lau. what kind of fun he is hinting?
OMFG.
yeah i have such too. but they were more.. explicit. URGH.
jaywalk - oops, didnt see your comment. yeah, i hvnt been in there for about a year already.. =)
oh so you’re coming back soon? or are you back already?
you’re not harsh…. that person is weird and creepy!
Not yet, I need to clear my Vegas biz trip before I can come home on the 5th in term for the Death Match on 9th.
Come back to the Bar leh. Goto the Martell Death Match thread to find out more.
Got betting odds some more!
rn - well i ignored him. he’s still sending emails though. :/
jaywalk - for some reason your comments are going into my spam even though i have un-spamed you.
you really force me to go into the bar, you! martell… *wince*
(so many new ppl i do not know..)
isnt there an option to keep your profile from people other than your friends in facebook?
anyway great to see you at rehearsal!
take care of your back. rem to see doc or sinseh (with your sis)
dun let the problem run!
yeah there is an option and i’ve already done so. other ppl can only see my name and face, that is it..
thanks! i’ll see ya sat!
That really cracks me up!
But at least Facebook isn’t as bad as Friendster. With all the “add me up in my 7th account” and “intro plz” haha.
Cheers :D!
