Barrow Downs MySpace

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

First of all... to the mods... if this thread is not allowed, then please feel free to delete it. I was uncertain as to whether it was or not.

Ok, I was wondering if any of my fellow Downs members use MySpace. Anyone? I'm always trying to see if there is anyone else I know on there.
Anyway, if you use MySpace, you can find me here: http://www.myspace.com/ladyofshalott

[the phantom]

Fea uses MySpace.

I sort of do. I don't have a page on MySpace- I just signed up so I could make comments on Fea's entries.

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

I just signed up so I could make comments on Fea's entries.
Oh yeeeaah... are you sure you two aren't dating? Hehe.
You should flesh out your profile and send me a friend's request.

I hope that Fea sees this, because I don't really know how to look her up, she'll have to find me.

[Estelyn Telcontar]

Is that a blog site? If so, we could add other similar sites which have Barrow-Downers participating. There are quite a few of us (not all forum members, some from the Downs' chat room) on Xanga - see the Barrow Downs Blogring (http://www.xanga.com/groups/group.aspx?id=77369) there.

[Lalwendë]

That looks good - I used to do some blogging myself and I've been thinking about doing more. I presume you have to sign up for a Xanga blog, but do you then just link to the blogring? And one more question, can you post photos on there at all? ;)

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

TP beat me to my own revelation... Yes, I use Myspace. Mostly I forget I have it until I get a message through my e-mail saying that unseen (tp) commented on one of my blogs... usually the comments consist of "Hey, you haven't updated in over a month! What's wrong with you?" ;)

Tig, I'll check out yours as soon as I'm on a computer with a little more oomph. I'm called My<3WasAnOpenBook at the moment, so when you get a request from me, it's me.

I hope that Fea sees this, because I don't really know how to look her up, she'll have to find me.
You would need either to click a link to me, know my name, or know my yahoo address. I'll find you... it'll be easier.

Just trying to help you out, m'dear. ;)
are you sure you two aren't dating? Hehe.
Oh, of course we are. We live a thousand miles away and we've never met. Yes yes- the perfect set up for a relationship. She does her thing and I do mine, and once a day we hop on The Downs and compliment each other on how smart and pretty we are. It's a great system. We've never been happier.

And I added you as a friend, Tig. I hope that's not too presumptuous.

Hahaha. A long distance relationship with him, when I can't even make short-distance ones with people I know in RL work? Riiight. :p :rolleyes:

Tig, I've also sent you a request. And just for you, tp, I'm about to update my blog.

[Estelyn Telcontar]

Lal, once you've registered on Xanga, you go to the BD blogring page to which I linked. On the left is a link that says "Join this blogring" - that'll do the trick! Hey, if I can manage it, anyone can! Anyway, it would be great to have you blogging there - the more the merrier! (Especially if it's more people that I actually know, more or less... )

I'm sure you can do photos; however, it's something I haven't yet figured out. As King Herod said to the wise men, when you have found out, come back and tell me! ;)

[the phantom]

A long distance relationship with him, when I can't even make short-distance ones with people I know in RL work?
Hmm...now, if I am interpreting that correctly, you seem to be saying that-
1) you are not very good with people
2) I am a particularly difficult person to get along with

You are insulting yourself and me at the same time. You aren't still angry about all those insults I threw at you in the last game of werewolf, are you?

I hope you realize I was merely playing my part *coughnotreallycough* :p
I'm about to update my blog
Yipee!

I should post a thing or two on MySpace this weekend. Maybe it can be a place for me to post outrageous and insulting opinion pieces and tasteless jokes. I don't want to clutter up my official site with that stuff, you see.

[Gil-Galad]

i have a myspace too but nobody cares enough to check it out...

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

How can we check it out, Gil-Galad, if you don't link us to it???

And I added you as a friend, Tig. I hope that's not too presumptuous.
Well, it was a bit, but it's not like I wouldn't expect that from you ;) Hehe.

I'll have to check out the Xanga thing... I don't know, though, I already have two online journals... MySpace and Livejournal... so I don't know if I can have another. I don't know if I could keep up with another. Between my two journals, emails, and the forums I visit, I'm already online for too much time. Haha.

[Kath]

I've been to your site a couple of times Gil (or at least I have if thats where the link in your sig takes me) but you don't seem to update much. Maybe I'm just not observant enough.

[Gil-Galad]

thats my freeweb site, and i try to update it...usually need friendly reminders though

MySpace (http://spaces.msn.com/members/glen20x6kudos/PersonalSpace.aspx?_c01_blogpart=myspace&_c02_owner=1&_c=blogpart)

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

The link is taking me to an MSN page that seems to not exist. MySpace is something over at www.myspace.com ... are you there, Gil-Galad?

What about Livejournal? Is anyone else on there, or does every do Xanga?

[Gil-Galad]

woops its MsnSpace i have...

[Kath]

Is MySpace the one that you get free with MSN or something else?

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Is MySpace the one that you get free with MSN or something else?
Also free, but not MSN.

[Encaitare]

I have a Live Journal, Tig. I just use it to make icons, though. I've been slacking as of late; I ought to make some more. The journal be hither (livejournal.com/~lady_wormtongue) if anyone's interested. Kitanna, Nilp, and Evisse have LJ accounts too.

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

I added you. My LJ name is "psyknife"

[Encaitare]

Added you back. :)

[Durelin]

If anyone cares/would like to know/wants to stalk me...

MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/durelin

Xanga: http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=Rakein

I'm bored, so I thought I might as well post that...yeah...

[Nimrodel_9]

i have a myspace too but nobody cares enough to check it out... I've been there, Gil!

I have been trying to get one, but I can't ever find the time. :p

[arcticstorm]

I also have both a myspace and xanga

MySpace: my space (http://www.myspace.com/arcticstorm87)

Xanga: xanga (http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=arcticstorm87)

[manaratowen]

i have a myspace, i dont use it ever. its here http://www.myspace.com/2419017

and i ahve a LJ too, which i use more often than myspace and that is here http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=joeys1gal31&mode=full

[Joy]

Here is mine - http://www.myspace.com/kingdomwarrior78

I haven't posted much since my back surgery - been in the hospital 3 times this year and just haven't wanted to do much online. I have to get in there and do some updates :D

Thanks for reminding me of this.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

O ho! I went and got one too. It's a lot more fun than I would have guessed it to be. Though I'll have to borrow my aunt's digital camera again...

Do you think that, if we started a group on Myspace, then off-topic discussion would decrease here on the Downs? :D

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Do you think that, if we started a group on Myspace, then off-topic discussion would decrease here on the Downs? :D
Probably not.

Encai, I friended you on LiveJournal. Aliquisa. Amazing what sorts of things badgering friends can get you to do...

[Gurthang]

I feel so left out! :(

Although, it guess it's more my own choice to not get involved. I plead the case of not having enough time. Also, I suffer from lack of wanting to type about myself for other people to pry into... not that anyone wants to do that. :p

Still, I'm wondering if anyone here has ever heard of Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/login.php)? It's not nearly as popular as MySpace or LiveJournal, but (from my perspective) it's a whole lot easier to use. Unfortunately, I think it's mainly for college students; but they recently added a high school version, too.

yea i really like facebook, and for some odd reason, it can be pretty addicting

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I think it's the poking that causes the addiction.

[Gurthang]

Really? I'm pretty sure that poking is one of the weirdest features of the entire program. Almost to the point of creepy.

Well, it's nice to know I actually have something in common with some people. I'm at Kansas State University, see if you guys can find me. (Right, amongst 20,000 students and you have no name to go with. Good luck! :D ) Fea or arcticstorm, wanna tell me your school so I can look aimlessly around for you. ;)

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Really? I'm pretty sure that poking is one of the weirdest features of the entire program. Almost ot the point of creepy.
Perhaps, then, it's the randomly located sentences such as "I don't even know what a pheasant looks like."?

[Gurthang]

Actually, it was "I don't even know what a quail looks like." :p I started a group about it. :D They recently changed it to say "Too close for missiles, I'm switching to guns." I started a group about that one, too. :rolleyes:

I wonder if we can start a group for the Barrowdowns. I don't know if the program will let people from different colleges be in the same group though.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Quail, pheasant... close enough.

Either way, the random quotes make me grin.

[Sleepy Ranger]

I'm convinced MySpace is evil however I do have a LJ

http://gamer-jedi.livejournal.com/

[Parmawen]

Ooh! I have a myspace right here! (http://www.myspace.com/happyendings18)

I know I'm not particularly loquacious on the Downs, (more of a reader than a participater) but it'd be fantastic to start a myspace group for it!

So yeah, if anyone wants to add me, that'd be pretty sweet! :D

[Ithaeliel]

I HAD a myspace. But I found that many of the people in that community were questionable in character and had a lot of content on their profiles I found inappropriate, and I didn't want to be stalked via the information I provided (and there have been cases of myspace stalking). So my account has been voluntarily cast into the oblivion for good. I didn't find it to be worth the effort of keeping it up, either.

However, I exist here, and isn't that what matters? :)

[the guy who be short]

Everything you need to Stalk me (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=45009071).

[Lush]

Yo.

I added you on MySpace, Tiger.

I'm over at: Little Lushie (http://www.myspace.com/littlelushie)

And

Indiscretions (http://indiscretions.blogspot.com) , the blog that has taken on a life of its own.

[Lush]

Ok, I pretty much went and added everyone on MySpace. I am not being creepy, I promise. I'm trapped at home after graduation, hysterically looking for a job, and spend all of my free time on the Internet, 'cause gas is so bloody expensive at the moment.

I also have a Russian language LiveJournal that I update every once in a while, mostly when I feel like practicing my Russian writing skills.

Na Nevedomih Dorojkah (http://natalia_lush.livejournal.com)

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Speaking of myspace... Just don't creep me (http://www.myspace.com/997136) out in your stalkerishness. ;)

And Lush, every time I see Russian, I wish I could speak it. Or at least read it.

[Diamond18]

I have a MySpace, but I don't ever use it. If you look at my friends, they're all bands or musical artists. All... three of them (not counting the ubiquitos Tom.) However, I may someday use the MySpace to promote my writing, so you can add me on the off chance that I will actually be putting something interesting up there sometime soon. Ish.

Right -- www.myspace.com/sarahlitarose

[Oddwen]

If I ever get myspace set up, I'll letcha know...'til then, you are all officially stalked. :p

[Lush]

Oh but my dahling Diamond, you only accept friend invitations from people you know! And I haven't the faintest what your e-mail address is! But if you want, you can add me, and I promise I'll accept. ;)

[Diamond18]

Well, I think I'd know who littlelushie is. :D I added you. And Jay, and Eomer, and Fea... going to add Tiggers and tp now. There is nothing to see on my profile but I'm sure if I'm bored enough I'll attempt to do something. It will all be lies, of course.

Any of the skeevy people who might hang around myspace looking for young females to stalk and terrorize will wish they'd never been born should they show up on my doorstep, so I'm not really worried. But it's so much more fun to lie.

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

I've added those who requested me :-)
Lush - I got confused because I knew that was you, but I thought you lived overseas.

[Lush]

Nope, I'm in Durham right now. I did travel a lot back home to Ukraine and other exciting places before (and hopefully will get to do again).

[Roa_Aoife]

I'm on LJ and Xanga as Roa_Aoife. (I tend to keep the same name everywhere- makes it easier for stalkers.) Any one know how to start an LJ community? I know it's possible, I'm just not sure how.

I'm also on Facebook- if you want to add me as a friend, PM me.

And I love the poking feature. *runs off to poke people*

[Firefoot]

Roa - I added you as a friend on LJ. (Firefoot_1428) :)

[Roa_Aoife]

*gasp* LORD OF THE PEEPS! YAY!!!!!!

[Kath]

I also added you to LJ Roa. I'm enpauriel. :D

[Lhunardawen]

I added you on LJ too, Roa. I'm melatariel. :)

[Roa_Aoife]

Okay, rather than clutter the thread, how about anyone else who wants to friend me just comments on my last post with their Downer name?

[Sleepy Ranger]

I also added you to LJ Roa. I'm enpauriel. :D

You're enpauriel? Well that explains that! I figured it was a 'Downer. :)

[Kath]

Yup, that's me :D

[Valesse]

(I tend to keep the same name everywhere- makes it easier for stalkers.)
I'm exactly the same way.

Xanga: Valesse (http://www.xanga.com/Valesse), MySpace: Valesse (http://www.myspace.com/valesse), LiveJournal: (I haven't used it in half a year, but its still) Valesse (http://valesse.livejournal.com/), and DeadJournal: (yes yes, Barrowdowns, haha.) Valesse (http://valesse.deadjournal.com/)

I did make a barrowdowns blog-ring on MySpace, so feel free to join that. There are a few people who aren't from this here fine forum that have rubbed their elbows all over it, but its still good! Has anyone created a community in MySpace that we could join? I'm not sure how one does that exactly, so even though I would have taken the liberty to, I, alas, was not worthy. :(

(N.B., stalkers: Out of all of them I'm the best about keeping up the ol' xanga. :p )

[Diamond18]

I tried to add you on MySpace, Valesse, but it requires me to know your email.

[Oddwen]

I think I got everyone - on MySpace, I'm alice_h

[ninja91]

Yeah, I am on myspace too. search "kevin whinnery" (dont include apostrophes). I am the profile with the pic of the Witch-King as my avatar-thingy. I dont go on much unless I have a message or comment or to listen to music and other stuff.

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

Just a request... if ya'll friend me on MySpace, can you send me a message to let you know that you are a Downs person (unless it's going to be obvious to me) :-) Thanks!

[Kitanna]

I'm on good old myspace these days, but I only use it to torture my friends from school. But it's always nice to torture Downers, too.
Oh that wonderful myspace (http://www.myspace.com/fortheloveofham) link.

[the guy who be short]

My friend more or less forced me to get a liverjournal so I could read her private posts. I'll be blogging infrequently. Search for TGWBS.

Also, if you're a Downer but your name's not too Downy, could you PM me telling me who you are first, please? Danke.

[Brinniel]

I've heard of myspace for several months now, but I've never so much have bothered to even visit the site. During my days of high school, it seemed like almost every single person in the school had an account and used it to gossip about each other. I guess the reason I've never joined is because there's too many people I know in real life on myspace and I fear that by joining, I'll have revisit my high school life (which really sucks).

Anyways, I'm a big fan of xanga (it's safer than myspace and more suitable for writers) and lately have been blogging there almost everyday. Unfortunately, I'm not able to be part of the Barrow-downs blogring because it seems you have to apply to join and the ring leader has been gone for nine months. :( Oh well....

Check me out (http://www.xanga.com/Brinniel) if you dare. :p

[Gurthang]

Hey all you Facebook fans out there, I've got good news. Facebook has decided to allow 'global' groups. Which means that we can have a Barrowdowns Facebook group. :D

I've already set one up, so if you want to join, just search for "The Barrow-Downs" and request to join. You should probably shoot me a message, too, because I might not let you join if I don't know who you are. (You know, security reasons ;) ) I only have the photo page to go by, so it'd be easier if you'd just send me a memo. Oh, and I'm the "Weird Admin Guy", just so you know. :cool:

[Encaitare]

I was pleased to note that, Gurthang... you guys can follow the link in my sig for a global Tolkien group. :)

[Brinniel]

You have to have a college email to be on facebook, am I right?

Well, I don't have my email yet, but I should be getting one within the month and once I do, I'll be sure to join. :)

[Kitanna]

I was pleased to note that, Gurthang... you guys can follow the link in my sig for a global Tolkien group. :)
Noted indeed, and I've joined up with both groups, because there's not enough Tolkien related groups at my own school.

[MatthewM]

Yep, I'm part of the addiction too...


www.myspace.com/driftinglikeyou

feel free to add me

[Diamond18]

I got LJ on a whim - http://sarahlitarose.livejournal.com/ I've added a few of the LJ people here. If you want to add me as well go ahead.... I haven't done anything with it yet but I will probably be cross posting my myspace blogs there.

[Rockin_tha_Casbah]

Sad to say, I also broke down and got a MySpace...

(Actually, an old friend set it up, but that's another story.)

The link be here (http://www.myspace.com/rockin_tha_casbah).

[Lalwendë]

My mate's just got himself a MySpace whatsit so I might get one too (despite being the world's slackest diarist - the option of adding amusing music to it is too much for me to resist), but I had a look and someone's nicked my user name! Anyway, I go on a local forum here and have another user name there, I entered that and it comes up with two identities for that name - so, you knowledgeable blogging types, can there be two people with the same user name then?

Incidentally, I did have a blog years and years ago which mostly consisted of ranting but I didn't keep it up for long as I stopped getting quite so angry all the time. ;)

[Diamond18]

From what I understand, there can by duplicate display names, which is different than the user name. For instance my "user name" is sarahlitarose and that's what's in the URL but my display is Sarah Rose so that's what people see most of the time.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Be a slacker and use a numerical user name. It'll sort out who is interested in your profile and who wants an easy URL to remember. :cool:

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Not that I update it very often... Here is my Live Journal:

Hookbill's life of Doom (http://hukbillgoomba.livejournal.com/) Note the number of things mercilessly borrowed (read: “stolen”) from the downs... :D

I don't have a Myspace, but my older brother has one for his 'band' of freedom fighters... Here (http://www.myspace.com/probablynotpinkfloyd).

[Celuien]

Well, my Myspace page is here (http://www.myspace.com/100147815). Mostly vacant, I'm afraid, since my sole purpose in joining was to bother two of the people on my friends list. ;)

Far more interesting tidbits can be found here (http://www.xanga.com/Celuien).

[Laitoste]

In a highly uncharacteristic move, I went and got myself a livejournal...I'm oneofthemearas (http://oneofthemearas.livejournal.com). I must say, though, I still prefer my paper-and-pen journal. :rolleyes:

[Thinlómien]

If someone called lommy has added you to Lj, don't worry, it's just me... :)

[Mattius]

Hmmm I'm tempted to put my myspace addy up but I'm not sure you guys will remember me- I haven't posted on here for a awfully long time...

[Diamond18]

The words "dancing chicken" leap to mind.

[Mattius]

See this is what I mean! My mind is a fog regarding past discussions in this fine place... Wait... wait just a minute.... from the dark recesses of my mind comes forth an image....

http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i175/Mpage2396890/chicken.jpg

He dances no longer, he chose exile (KFC).

[Diamond18]

That's just not right!

Topic: so what is your MySpace?

[Mattius]

You'll be dissapointed to find that there are no dancing chickens but here it is-

www.myspace.com/funkymotherpucker

[Balin999]

If anyone wants to have a look at my myspace-site, have a look here:

www.myspace.com/atm_oda

comments are welcome, if you want to add me tell me that you're from the downs.

(blogs are only in german so far, but that'll change, I promise)

[Mattius]

Love the picture of the melting sunglasses.

[Balin999]

thanks, it took an hour to get the drop right.
I've sent an add request. :)

[Orominuialwen]

I created a Barrow-Downs group on Live Journal here (http://community.livejournal.com/thebarrowdowns/profile). There are links to the BD groups on Xanga and Facebook there too, and if someone will give me a URL for the Myspace group, I'll put a link to that too. I'm Orominuialwen (http://orominuialwen.livejournal.com/) on LJ.

[Diamond18]

I don't think there is a Barrow Downs group for MySpace. If there is, I haven't been invited. :p

But that's okay, MySpace groups never work anyway.

[Orominuialwen]

Valesse said something about it in post # 57 (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=472146&postcount=57), but she didn't give a link. I tried searching for it, but I'm unfamiliar with Myspace, so I had no luck finding it.

[Valesse]

Well! I actually went back and looked at it (seeing as I made that when I was a wee little newblet on myspace) and apparently that is only a myspace blog-ring (http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.blogringMembers&BlogringID=87437&Mytoken=EFBFFB84-EA4E-43CF-88F516A70E977D9548836161) and not a group. However, being the sneaky little spook that I am, I just went and made a proper group (http://groups.myspace.com/thebarrowdowns) all awesome-Orominuialwen like. ; )

[Mattius]

Looks like its just you and I dude.

[Brinniel]

I was bored, so I decided to join the LiveJournal clan yesterday. :rolleyes:

So currently I have two blogs: LiveJournal (http://brinniel.livejournal.com/) and Xanga (http://www.xanga.com/Brinniel).

Also, if anyone wants to look me up on Facebook, I'm in the BD group along with the seven other Downers (I think we might be the smallest group on Facebook :p ).

Still no MySpace site, and I still don't plan to set one up anytime soon....

[Mithadan]

Does Xanga count?

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Sure thing, Mithadan.

-----

And just a friendly warning because I'm nice and paranoid and pessimistic like that:

I like everybody. We're all nice people. We're all happy, wonderful, community-oriented, kind, honest people who can trust one another. Peace, love, happiness, hugs.

Reality check: Much though we may like and trust each other, please keep close in mind just how much information you are willing to give out, especially on an open forum. Blogs are nice. My own LJ is a delicious mix of fact and fiction and I doubt anybody can actually tell for certain where to draw the line between my stories and my life because I compose carefully to keep it that way. My Xanga is pretty much where I put sonnets I secretly write when I'm supposed to be doing British Lit homework. Myspace tells even more than an average blog, if you let it. Be most careful with the comments you let get posted; it's harder to control what your friends write about you.

Facebook: not only are you releasing your favorite television shows, your favorite quotes, but you are also frequently releasing your first and last name, your school, your hometown, your course of study, your classes, your living arrangements... You name it, it's not hard to find.

I like Facebook. I lurk there when I'm bored, playing with my status, stalking my friends', and enjoying the mad photographer game. I'm currently, as it were, "not enthused about class today" and moping on a beach. The poke function is frighteningly entertaining.

Groups are an easy way to keep in touch with specific people.

Just PLEASE be careful with giving out your personal information because some people are REALLY WEIRD.

Please return to your regularly scheduled All Barrowdowners are Awesome programming.

[the guy who be short]

That was very odd.

Thanks, (I guess?), Fea.

[Balin999]

What she wants to say is that she wants to prevent you from being visited by a maniac with a knife in his hand.
I guess she's right. You never really know who reads the stuff you post.

[Brinniel]

What she wants to say is that she wants to prevent you from being visited by a maniac with a knife in his hand.
I walk past maniacs every day. I'm sure a few more wouldn't hurt. :p

But really, I see where you're coming from. It can be dangerous, and in the last few years problems concerning online predators has only gotten worse. It's good to be careful, and by living in the city, I'm usually really careful anyways.

The only place I leave full blown information (last name, address, etc) is on Facebook. Most of that information can only be seen by friends and all of mine are in high school or college networks. Though, ever since Facebook has been opened to the public, I have been a little worried, but nevertheless I still enjoy the site, just with a little more caution.

[Glirdan]

Ugh!! Okay, I've given into the MySpace craze. So, if some of you get an invite with a kid in a red shirt looking sad (or emo as we call it over here) that would be little ol' me. :D

[Amanaduial the archer]

Like Brinn, I only post 'full-blown' details on Facebook - but even then, with the exception of my surname and school, they're only visible to my friends. Simple way of keeping that safe: only add people you know. (Or...semi-know - Brinniel...)

It's the same on any forum - but then, if you send a message from a personal email to account to any barrowdowner, chances are they could then have your surname. You do have to be really careful, especially if you're under 18 - Balin's "knife in hand" example, whilst a comical image ("Ah ha! You would be the axe-murderer I ordered? Well, splendid, splendid, do come in and have a cup of tea, then we can get started...") is a good point.

Oh, and not to sound patronising now I've finally crossed the invisible line into 'adulthood' *sheepish grin*

[Diamond18]

What she wants to say is that she wants to prevent you from being visited by a maniac with a knife in his hand.

Or "her" hand, if you happen to be giving your personal info to me.

I've had a stalker before, but he didn't find me on the Internet. He found me in the coffee shop he frequented, when I got a summer job there. Lots of "fun" stories there, if anyone is ever interested. :eek:

Anyways, this is just to say that I've joined the MySpace BD group. :)

Okay, prepare yourselves....Brinniel has created a myspace account. *gasp* :eek:

Yeah, I said I wouldn't do it, but I was starting to get irritated how I couldn't view my friends' accounts without being a member. Livejournal will remain my main site for blogging and I'll just use myspace for other stuff...I guess.

Anyways, if you're interested, check it (http://www.myspace.com/brinniel ). I have a privacy setting, but if you friend me, I'll friend you back. :)

Btw, I want to comment on how awesome the BD Facebook Group (http://emerson.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2204573651) is becoming. Fifteen members, and now we have lots of photos. And now you don't even have to be a student to register on the site. Pretty sweet... :cool:

EDIT: Post 1111...haha

Finally gave in and joined LiveJournal too:

What's the best blog-space for story serialization? and why? I don't like Xanga for it because everything is upside down with the latest post ABOVE the previous ones, unlike here. So is there a blog-host that does it better AND is user friendly and not weird somehow?

[Imladris]

I'd use LJ Lmp. You can change the date chronology.

I've found a solution on Xanga. Thanks anyway.
