I went over to help a friend’s dad with his computer. The main problem was getting the modem working. Of course, that took me all of about 5 minutes, and then we tried getting his sound card working. Two hours later, we gave up. He really just wanted the modem working so he could get online.
Later in the day, I was over at my sister’s, trying to get her wireless router working. I got it working in five minutes, then decided to change the password on the wireless. Of course, that only wasted a half hour of my time, so I decided to upgrade the firmware on the router. Another half hour. Well, now my brother-in-law can use his laptop upstairs, but yeesh, it’s supposed to be easier than that.
Oh, so friend 1 told me to try to meet chicas on Friendster. He has 18 friends there. Friend 2 who has 37 friends there told me that sure, you can meet chicks there, but you’re gonna meet chicks who really want to meet other chicks, if you know what I mean. This probably explains why I can find some of my gay friends there when I can’t find them anywhere else. (Except for the ones who are still hiding from me, and you know who you are Terry Pribble.)
I don’t use Friendster to meet men since I’ve already got one I plan on keeping BUT I think you’re friend’s got it all wrong. The Queer folk are on Downelink nowadays. There are most definitely single chicas on Friendster who would fancy a date with a man. I used to think that compared to full blown online dating sites, Friendster was a bit of a crapshoot for singles since people like me who are NOT single are there clogging up all the space! But really, it’s all about going through the networks, so peeps like me add to the six degree-style fun. All that to say, Friendster might work for ya. In fact, if you send me an e-mail, you can add me and then you can ogle my friends. Unfortunately for you, none live in Portland; but you gotta start somewhere, right?
