Speaking of MySpace


Just the day after I was finished bitching about Myspace, I received an interesting Myspace friend request. I received a request from the guy I lost my virginity to. To flash back many a many a years: Loosing my virginity was nothing more than a mission to me, had to be the right guy. I wasn't looking for love or happily ever after- I was looking for the perfect Metal Rocker. I had the total full on crush on one of the members of Pretty Boy Floyd. (No, I will not tell you which one...) I was such a little slut rocker chick back then, my friends and I traveled back and forth to Los Angeles, partying on the Sunset Strip with our best pouty look, fringed suede jacket, tight jeans, ripped concert T's and stripper boots. A few shots of Jack, the perfect positioning on the Strip and the next thing you know I'm playing strip poker with the band. I was 16 and I never wanted my first time to be with some random High School loser, I traded up for a beautiful drunken moment on the bathroom floor in some random apartment in Burbank. But, I landed the guy I had always wanted. We ran into each other a handful of times after that, and had other beautiful drunken moments in bathrooms of bars and cheap hotels. I have not seen him or spoken to him since I was about 19.

Then I got the silly little "friend request." I know he did not search me out, for I doubt he even remembered my name. But I clicked approve and dropped him a quick email. I thanked him for the memories and for popping my cherry. I got a email back the next day stating that "he never knew that was my first time", "wow, that was a crazy time," "you look great" and "hey, we should keep in touch." I called up one of my old school girlfriends and told her the news. She was like "Ohh My God are you gonna keep in touch?"

My response' "Uhhh No way-look at them! They look like fucking freaks. What the fuck was I thinking back then!"

Soo not my thing anymore. Funny how we change......

You know that MySpace gets more hits a day than Google?

I went to college in L.A. and saw PBF one night at either the Whiskey or Roxy, right after they were signed. That was a great show.

Yeah, they were a fun band. I don't think that style of music has stood the test of time. But it sure does bring back a ton of memories.

Wait a minute, are you still getting friend requests after you deleted your myspace? I still get the odd message, but I can't figure out why.

Yes, very good story, Shroom. I had no idea you were such a skank!

(kidding dear, ha ha ha)

Skank!? Once upon a time, once upon a time...
The skankiest thing I do now is not wearing a bra when I walk to the mailbox. Well that and this blog, and well the phone sex and the online porn and the escorts... Scandalous!

Too funny. For a moment there I lost all cyber-respect for you. I thought that was a picture of
Twisted Sister and I thought your story was about the lead singer, Dee Snyder.

Whew.

But since it aint, way to go, girl! Great stories to pass along to the kids when they are old enough to understand the real meaning of "cool".

what the fuck has their album called? "leather boys with electric toys?" all i remember about them is that they had the gayest album title ever. seriously... you could have an album titled "i am the gayest gay man and i love rainbows and judy garland" and it still wouldn't be as gay as their album title.
