I initially signed up so I could read people's blog entries, see their photos, etc. But it's put me in touch with a couple of friends I haven't seen in years. Not just for pedophiles anymore.

For me it was college, dude. I don't think they let you graduate without one anymore.

Does it always say "So-and-so is in your extended network"

Yes. I have long suspected it was meaningless.

I guess women don't give speeches...

They should make a Designing Women movie so Julia Sugarbaker can get on the list!

I think they adopted that from Friendster, but then decided not to do the whole network crap.

I have a myspace because until my own website caught on, the Spring Awakening Fan Community on Myspace was the most active place to talk about the show. Now I hardly ever go to it.

I adore that that page has clips of the speeches. I also adore Marlon Brando. And I've never seen Apocalypse Now, but the guy that delivers that speech annoys me - too bad, because the speech itself is pretty awesome.

Yeah, I was sort of disappointed by that one, Gris. And the Dirty Harry. They weren't what they sounded like in my head.

I have a MySpace because most of the people in my neighborhood do (most of the bars in my neighborhood do, too).

Which speech?

FWIW, any and all of Brando's stuff in AN has to be seen, not just heard. It's all so much more powerful when you see the ruin of a man there.

Robert Duvall?

I *loved* that when Julia got going. I wanted my friends to call me the Terminator, too.

The Golden Compass movie. This is a cool site for a movie that's not coming out for yonks. Much less annoying than, say, the X-Men movie sites.
