Oh how I cringe.

[ghostdrive]

Most of you know that I don't care for MySpace--basically I have no interest in it and also because I'm a big livejournal elitist. Normally I wouldn't give it another thought, but in the past week I've been asked by 4 people either a.) to get a MySpace or b.) why in the hell I don't have one already (complete with looks of incredulity), so here I am setting up a poll about it. WHY DO MOST OF MY FRIENDS HAVE MYSPACE AND NOT LJ. ARRRRRRRGGGGHHHH. As you can tell, even considering setting up one is making me cringe.

[Poll #817088]

If you voted yes, please let me know what it is you like about MySpace. Who knows, maybe my ARGH-MYSPACE-NO reflex is completely clouding my judgment about it. Maybe.

EDIT....(Fuck, this comment is coming four days too late [its the 12th now].) You know, I probably should have mentioned why I felt the need to post this poll (reading over this post I sound like I'm resigning myself to getting a MySpace -_-;). For some reason, whenever someone says I should get a MySpace, I somehow feel like they are subtlely suggesting that want to keep in touch with me and then I feel like I'm obligated to keep up with them. Argh, I probably not making sense again.

Obviously I'm way out of the internet loop if I even have to ask this, but what the hell is up with comments of just the word 'boobies' in threads (I've noticed this quite a bit in the Penny Arcade and VG Cats lj feeds). I mean, WTF. Somebody explain. Please. I feel so lame now. EDIT. Many thanks to memlu for explaining this.

I like MySpace, just because everyone else is on it. I prefer LiveJournal for blogging, I usually just cross-post into my MySpace blog. I like pictures and the ability to comment on them, though... and page comments are nice to. So it's like 3x the comments. It does get annoying every so often, getting creeps that want to add you out of the blue, and the constant logging in errors and crap, but I like MySpace.
