One of the things I've blogged about more than once was the propensity of many folks to collect "friends". You see this on Myspace much worse than here, which is perhaps the biggest reason why I will never belong to that social whoring site. SG is a mixed bag in this regard however. Some folks have hundreds or thousands of so-called friends. To some degree, I understand why SOME OF the Suicide Girls themselves approve anyone who asks. It's that degree of minor celebrity that is hard to deny. And after all, they're here to be seen and adored by the rest of us anyhow. So add a strong degree of narcissism and that formula makes sense.

But I have a hard time understanding why many other people collect so many friends. Do you really know who these hundreds of folks are, read their blogs, are interested in their lives, and carry on genuine two-way conversations with them? Put it this way... I doubt it.

And even if I was charming enough and interesting enough to cause that kind of frenzy over myself, I certainly don't have time enough. Nor do I give a shit. So what I try to do is actually keep up with those SG friends I do have. Read their blogs, and if I find any thoughts in my head... to share them. This hasn't been entirely perfect because over the years I've encountered some people that creeped me out a bit, or over time I decided were thoroughly uninteresting. Then I feel guilty about those feelings in my head about wanting to cancel the friendship status. But whatever, I guess I shouldn't even care about that.

Heck, even the couple of SGs I've befriended I actually carry on genuine conversations with. I traded postcards with Eli and truly miss her poetic ramblings now that she's left. I had the opportunity to meet and talk to Sophie once as I passed through Kansas City. So even when it comes to the girls, I generally like to request friendship only if I have what I feel is a genuine basis for that. Not just oogling over boobies, yaknow?

The point is, I appreciate the contact rather than a blind invite. Because I generally just decline those outright.

So what do you do out there in La La Land?

And I'm inclined to drink red wine with anything. Fish, chicken, whatever. Give me a nice shiraz or merlot any day. But save room for Guinness.

I grabbed THIS in size Medium and British Khaki color. We'll see how it is. It'll arrive in a few days but I'll be back on the road until a couple of days before my Florida vacation. So if I don't like it, I'll have to get something locally or do without until I can make an exchange.

Black was also a viable option, but I have a desert camo boonie hat... and I'm being coordinated.

Wham! WHAM!! Fuckin' break yer nose!

Yeah I'm kind of an idiot in that sense. I don't like living with people, but I can't handle living alone. So, I guess it's my own fault. But I've had many more good times living with people then bad.
