Small Friggin' World
Jun. 1st, 2006 04:34 pmLast night, for no really good reason, I was telling
evildoom_bunny about the works of Neil Young, the well known muso. I mentioned his "classic" album Rust Never Sleeps.
evildoom_bunny heard this as The Bus Never Sleeps. Which I like the sound of - someone should record said album. And, in fact, it makes about as much sense as the real title.
I was poking around on a couple of other "social networking" sites today. I got onto Bebo.com and was asked to log in to look at something. I started creating an account only to be told that the user name "maxcelcat" was already taken. This has NEVER happened before. So I tried simply logging in - and loe and behold, I had an account there already. With a profile an everything. I have no recollection of every touching the site before, but then given I have accounts everywhere - orkut, New York Times, Appletalk.com.au, blogspot...
Speaking of Orkut (Google's take on the networking site), I was poking around on it for the first time in months and months, looking at my extended network. I was checking out a friend called Paula's network. Then I was checking out a friend called Barbara's network... And noticed that the same person appeared in both lists! They both independently know a guy called David. Small world! I've met him, briefly - six foot tall Goth, he popped over to the house I shared with Barbara once to *ahem* see to some of her needs ;-)
Hey, he's got a live journal, like everyone on earth:
