Word on the street is that my (and everyone’s) first “friend” on MySpace (Tom) has been lying to us all along to seem cool. Turns out, he’s considerably older than he let on in his profile - at least 36 or 37, not the 32 he claims to be. This sets a bad example and makes it okay for creepy old men to lie about their age to help them get more edgy underage chicks to “friend” them so they can see the emo, soft-porn, self-portraits.
MySpace was about trust. I trusted Tom. I trusted Rupert. I trusted NewsCorp. I trusted them and today that trust was betrayed.
On another note, I think I should probably update (fix) my age on the site...

good one, says the thirty-eight year-old single mom of a seventeen year-old who is half a word away and hopefully joining her mother soon here in the US. =)
can't wait for her to get here and for life to return to its normal frenetically online pace. which is not likely until i get my own computer.
cheers!
Hey, I'll hook you up with my friend Tom. He's rich enough and will probably buy you a computer!
:)
Good to hear from you, Thelma. Hope life is going well.
