People Know Me

Categorized under Humor | Tags:

img I WAS JUST EMAILED with one of those MySpace friend requests which is from a "person" that is really a disguise for either some type of pharmaceutical addiction or a porn site, and so I rejected it.

However, I have to say "Rebecca"s profile pleased me in such a thorough way that I may just adopt the words I found there for my new bio:

I'm very important...people know me. I have many leather bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

Concise. Aromatic. And hardly bashful. Tell me you wouldn't be interested. In my wonderfully stinky library.

Don't you love getting those. I feel so loved; if only....

The days I really want to vent out my frustration, I reply to them. The ones I really like are the ones who write one how cute I was based on my pic and would really like to be my "friend." So I write them letting them know thank you and I understand beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but how did they come this conclusion that since the pic I used was my XicanoPwr avatar. I know I will never get a reply back, but hay, I felt good sending it out. On another one, which I think the spammer actually read because I don't get them anymore, but I told them it was obvious this was a bot, pointing out all their coding mistakes and did they really think people would fall for this crap. Especially when a person such as myself never listed anything about my interests, the movies i like yada yada and the only information they are going on based on my purpose for being on MySpace.

I can't say I have this problem. I tend to avoid MySpace.

i understand and applaud your good sense.

for me, it is very good for getting bulletins that involve the Xican@/Latin@ community, if that's who you make your "friends." some of the things i post here from time to time i find first in that community.

XP, i know just what you mean. "I hope you are as interesting in person as youare in writing. click here for my naughty pics!"

I'm very important...but for some reason the people who know me (and there are a lot, y'know, me being important an' all) won't tell me my apartment stinks like a musty old gentlemen's club. Help!
Yeah I used to have that problem leather and mahogany smell, had to move in the end the fumes were killing me.

Leather bindings suck. They dry and crack. The cover falls off. Long live linen!

I have so much to say about the Caoba it would fill a book. Possibly a leather bound book, or at least the linen one. I did like the description too, but in reality {trust me on this} one only inhales the aroma of Caoba in the shop where it is worked or the forest where it is cut. Almost always, after completing a work in Caoba, it is very very sealed. Perhaps the apartment smells of rich carnauba or bee's wax {yes, I know it is a spammy apartment in reality} but unfortunately not Caoba. Or even Caobo. Yes, the Mahogany has a complicated sex life, there are male and female trees. I have many many {thousands}of both, from three countries.
Finally, Caoba dust is extremely toxic, very bad for the lungs. But it is nevertheless a lovely and inspiring aroma, deadly to insects.
Read the rest in my bound book one day.

Yo Nez, that clever bio is a quote from Anchorman -- classic Will Ferrell flick. He intones this line while attempting to impress the Christina Applegate character at a party, prefaced with, "I don't know how to put this, but I'm kind of a big deal around here."

Rich mahogany! You should friend them right there!

My myspace url is catsisterforever. Will you friend me? ;)


Meep dijo:

GRVTR

Hm, maybe that's why I haven't been connected to other brown people? (que lastima) At the same time I always get that feeling that MySpace is a "beauty contest" of sorts.

lauren, sure! i'll do that at some point today. unless the wink obliterates the request? i'll check it out lata!

meep, i guess you're right. and i guess the entire Internet Persona Society is, too, to a point. but hell, we don't have to take any of it any more seriously than we like. and we can use a picture of our pretty neighbor if we want. or our ugly cat. yeah! i'm of the ugly kitty mind, myself.
