I agree. There's a couple from my high school that have a united page. They detail the chronicles of their life in their blogs and have sappy pictures of themselves all over the page. I just don't get why couples have to do EVERYTHING together including having the same MySpace page. It's MySpace, not UsSpace. Be independent enough to create your own page. For the record, I have my own page. My fiance does not have a page because he calls it GaySpace. Whatever.

Haha - my fiance asked me if I wanted to do a joint myspace and I told him he was crazy. Of course - he JUST recently joined myspace - so he doesnt quite "get it" yet....

I'm not a fan of the joint myspaces either. Seriously is it that difficult to create your own account? And what happens if the wonder couple breaks up and they have to *gasp* get their own pages, I bet that's torture.

I'm also not a fan of getting random messages from creepy guys like this one:

"how ya doing..... i was just on here looking around for friends and seen your profile and i thought maybe we could chat somtime maybe...... i am married but my wife does know i am on here just so u know..... so drop me a line if u would like to maybe we can get to know each other
talk to u soon i hope"

what's the deal with people creating Myspaces for their dogs?

I had a chapter sister who made one for her guniea pig. I refused to add it as a friend, she got pissed. Then it died. I think the myspace page is still up though. Now I need to go see.

That's what dogster.com is for.

My daughter and all her friends have deleted their My Space accounts now because "it's boring". It's soooo last year, you know? Ah well, less for me to check up on now.

I can see how MySpace would be tres passe for your daughter and her friends, especially since their social network is limited.

I'm still addicted because I find old friends and former classmates every day.

You may want to make sure that they don't just do Facebook instead.

They are only in middle school and yes, their social network is limited. They won't be doing facebook for another 5 or 6 years. It's a relief to me because I was worried about some of the information some her friends were posting and even ended up doing an Internet Safety session for her Girl Scout troop because they were giving out way too much info about themselves, including age, school and pictures. I explained how a child predator could just sit in their school parking lot at the end of the day, watch which bus they get on, check the bus stop schedule online on the school district website and eventually, follow them home from school. All of them have working mothers and go into empty houses. It was pretty scary. I had trained my daughter well, but other girls didn't realize...

Once she's old enough to Facebook, she will be away at school and I'll have to trust that my "training" of her has succeeded and she will make good choices. I can only hope that I can give her the tools to succeed in life at that point!

As an aside, she turns 13 today. I am officially the mother of a teenager. Wish me luck!

Bwahahahaha, I made one for my unofficial "roommate"--a purple stuffed bunny named Coco.

Oddly enough, it was able to find more stuffed bunny friends on myspace. Weird site.

The use of "u" instead of "you" cracks me up every time.

I kind of pronounce it "ooo" - like "how are oo doing?" Of course, I also read "r" as "err" in my head, so most of the time it's more like "How err oo doing?"

It kind of turns Internet 'tards into some sort of hilarious Balky.

There was an adorable little cat that used to sit in the window of an apartment down the alley from my old house in Pittsburgh and my roommate and I would always stop and tap the glass and watch it try to get to us...I guess we weren't the only ones because after a few months of this, the owners put up a little sign displaying the cat's name and MySpace website address! Thankfully, the MySpace profile proclaimed that "Peanut" the cat loved the attention from passersby...we were afraid we had been annoying the owners!
