the other myspace conundrum

[orangerful]

Okay, so what do you do when you get a friend's request from another person and go to their site and realize they've done the same thing you have - i.e. they made up a weird display name that isn't their real name and you click on the photos section and you recognize them and actually wouldn't mind friending them except for the fact that you have no freakin' clue what their name is anymore.

But I do recognize him...I think he was in drama, one of the tech guys. He's two years younger than me...should I just fess up and message him and say "i've forgotten your name" when obviously he remembers mine as he had to do a search for it...(verdatum, dstntp1lgr1m, help me out here!!!)

btw - I'm going to special hell, I....I just spent 3 hours making my MySpace site prettier. Yes! I know! *hangs head in shame* But but....jimithingy gave me the CSS coding and I went thru and found pretty colors and then I used my icons to represent my interests and made a little mini-banner to link to my graphics site...so it's not fugly! I swear.

though you really have to like green to look at it.

You know what sucks, is that I don't get to see my profile. On LJ, when I make it all pretty, that's what I get to see. But no, on MySpace, I get to see that fugly page they have set up with all those adds and "cool new people" and other lame crap and only you, the outsider, gets to see my pretty page. LAME LAME LAME!

It won't let you look at your profile? There's a link that'll allow you to "View My Profile". It's how I check to see if all my coding is up to snuff. :) They even have sites that will generate the coding for you after you choose how you want your profile to look. It's really user-friendly... :) Now, I'm going to have to look at your new purty profile. I updated mine, too, showing off a particular handsome barefoot Jedi. :D

i can view my profile, but I want that same look when I'm logged in and going thru friends requests etc. Like on livejournal, when i read my flist, I still get to see my layout and my prettyness. haha.

Ooooo it is pretty! *pets*

I kind of want to make mine pretty, but I don't want to have to mess with it. CSS drives me nuts.

if you want, I can send you the code that jimithingy gave me, he labeled the parts and everything. haha. Or you can stick with your hot pink scheme.

[jellibean.livejournal.com]

Definitely send me that code!

And don't diss the hot pink. >:P You might end up with a horrific glittery picture on your comments wall... haha.

(Sorry for the double post.. stupid typos)

oh dear god I did NOT mean to endorse MySpace in any way shape or form!!! I'd must rather read your thoughts on livejournal or blogger than fugly MySpace (unless you made yours pretty?).

verdatum seems to have ID'd the person for me, but I might just take your suggestion anyway. He also said he was a "buddy whore". haha.
