I dont know how many of you have a myspace account, or which of you do. I know I have my Myspace account screen name on this profile and dont mind if people add me. However I do mind when people just simply add me, and never send a message, or even just a simple hello! It seems as though people just want others in wheelchairs to be on their friend, list as some kind of comfort. Its annoying. So im asking this, if you add me, talk to me!

I know what you mean..it is so annoying! I don't see the point of adding someone if you're not going to talk to them...a few people from here, not many, have done that to me.
Even after i've left a comment or whatever..they still don't say hi??????????

I am just starting to get the hang of the myspace thing I try my best to reply I am learning how to do the comment stuff... I believe I have you, miss Juls already on my account, not 100% sure (ty ambien) and ches, add me, just be patient, lol I am a dingbat, ask anyone... ;)

LOL, Ches you crack me up, I went to your page and the first thing I notice is the "For the most part, I enjoy CASUAL SEX and CHURCH ACTIVITIES." woot!! Then I see Plank at the top of your friends list, while it could be some one ya know since they are from Tx, he is my favorite cartoon character.

I threw ya a add up there on it, but I rarely check mine and send msgs and comments less, so i'll make a point to give a hollar, maybe I'll see your hot pink chair out and about Dallas one day while I'm out and about town and give ya a shout.

I just visited your MySpace account and couldn't even figure out how to add you as a friend...isn't there usually a little box where you can click on 'Add to Friends'? I probably wouldn't be good at sending e-mails either.

I'll make it simple (since I can hardly figure this machineout) I'll just say "hi, how are you, and all that good stuff..

Thanks TexasWheels, I read that profile and I think, "what the hell is wrong with me" then I laugh, and remember why its there. Its funny. Ill be sure to add you as well. Just mentioning you added me is enough to keep my quiet. As for plank, that is my brothers profile. Plank is actually my Sliding board. The day I got it my brother had the genius idea to make it my "Plank"

RacingAxe my 'little box' is there. I cant remember what the Options are. But the Add as Friend link is still in same place. It just has some silly Phrase there instead of the traditional "ADD".

Go for it Darrell!

Petit, take your time. No Rush! Silly girl.

And as for you Juls. AMEN to that. So glad someone feels the same way I do about that crap. Doesnt it just "Grind Your Gears" HAHA Sorry total Family Guy reference there. But yeah I hate when people add you, then you get to feeling all friendly and shit. Not really caring to talk to them or make any new friends, despite both being in a wheelchair..So you go out of your way and leave some inspirational uplifting kickass comment. ONLY to get nothing. Totally Lame. More lame than my legs!

[T-Crip]

I just friends requested you...just say no...DEE_NYYYYYYY!!! hahahaha! I love reading your posts miss thaaaaang! And you can be sure I will comment the CRAP outta ya! I am on this thing everyday pretty much. I wanna see your chair! Is it really hot pink? Is that a pic of you singin' on your home page? My dad lives in Beaumont. I've actually only been to Houston not Dallas.

I'm just not on MySpace very often.

[WheelsWithAttitude]

I have a myspace page too and I do add and leave comments, some I have become friends with. It all depends I guess, like in real life, if you are gonna 'click' or not.

I also think that the term 'add as friend' is a bit misleading, because unless it does 'click' and becomes friendship, I normally would not refer to it as that.
More like here where you are somehow connected thru a same interest or in this case same kind of disability.

Some I do not hear from in months, but do send out a hello every so often.

I think the problem is that a lot of ppl just add and not really care who it is, just so they can have 300 friends in their lists. Less is more I think.

I have to date, 38 in my list, take away some favorite bands and stuff I have added then I am maybe left with around 10-12 regular ppl.

I do want to add that I think myspace is a fantastic invention.
I am also an autistic and this is really helping me with communication.

Well my policy is that if the person doesnt even send me a message first telling me who they are then I will deny them... So if anyone from these forums sent me a friend request and I denied you then you know why. Send me a message first telling me who you are before sending the friend request.

I actually have that message written in bright red at the top of my myspace page too and since then I dont get nearly as many friend requests from someone looking to be friends with me just cause I am a cripple.

[Jsec64]

Well I'll just start by saying hello to you Ches.
Whilst I have a myspace acount I havent yet mastered many of the functions. When I have been there I have encountered similar problems like yourself. I will keep a look out and try to say hello every now and then.
Take Care

Sounds like alot of us have a myspace ,but many (me included) haven't mastered navigating it yet. A friend held me set mine up , now I gotta figure it all out. If we become friends I will always try to stay" intouch".

point well taking. i guess that's why i mostly have friends that i've known on mine. in fact, i require a message before even asking to be a friend. i am on myspace more often than here. my activity in these forums tends to be a little slow, but on the increase i'll say. but hey i'll add ya and send a note so be expecting. till then...
