After spending the last week camping in a lush mountain paradise, I returned to our flat concrete metropolis to catch up on real life. Real internet life, that is. Doing so entailed checking MySpace, as I'm apt to do occasionally, and in the process I discovered a message from someone purporting to be this woman:


She claimed to be called Sweetness96, "a caring, passionate woman" who is "real big on alternative music" such as "Blink 182 [and] Linkin Pink." All this was fine, but what did she want with me? Well, she wanted to "Get to know each other and hang out sometime." She also mentioned she had more pics, and that she would prefer if I e-mail her hotmail address.

You may now cringe and look away as I recount how I thought, "well, she must be some nice, stupid girl. Being a nice, dumb boy, maybe I'll e-mail her" and proceeded to actually send her an e-mail in response.

I was in some way angered when her e-mail in reponse ended with this text:
***The following is a requirement of this website:

"If you are offended by adult material or are not of legal age to view

Despite being intrigued by the intro screen at Dedicated Lust, I chose not to pay thirty dollars a month for a membership.

And then I thought about how it took me only a few months to get a solicitation through MySpace, and was more angered. But that anger didn't relieve my boredom, so I thought about how Sweetness96 told me she "was just browsing people around the area and I came across your profile."

Hmmm. A feature exists where you can just browse anyone in any geographic locality? This'll kill a few hours while I'm still too drunk to do anything more productive.

And this is what I discovered:

NO ONE CAN WRITE ABOUT THEMSELVES WITHOUT THEIR MINDS TURNING INTO SOME KIND OF FLUFFY KITTEN-HUGGING DISCO-PATRONIZING MUSH

cutebearkate's info is typical of the morons who sell themselves on MySpace:

UUUUUUUmmmmmmmmmm, What do I say? hi, I like to party and go dancing and drink smirnof ice and if you like to do those things to then we should BLAH BLAH FUCKING BLAH

Even people who seem intelligent (by our culture's indicatrix of the depth's of one's soul, their taste in music and movies) come across as that retard at Wal-Mart whose shit-stained sweatshorts everyone is trying to avoid smelling.

So I'm thinking of asking Sweetness96 to go out this Friday? Any good date ideas? You can probably get an idea of what she likes at www.dedicatedlust/sara01.

EDIT:
I found one cool person at MySpace. Here is her user pic:
