Quiet Voice

So, you know that guy from undergrad who didn't have a quiet voice. You know, that dude in the library that would ask you a question at full street volume? That guy, who when you see him coming over, causes you to hide your face in your copy of "Harper's Illustrated Biochemistry for Medical Students" in hopes that he will ask someone else. Well, that guy happens to study in the same corner as the library as me. He has only one volume, and it is LOUD. I actually told him to shush the other day, not on purpose but rather as a natural reaction to an abnormally loud volume.

Oh, and here's my other funny story. I'm not really into the social networking sites as much as many of my peers are. I only recently created a myspace and facebook account years after most people. I have been lazy at keeping up with my myspace account because I don't have that many friends that use myspace. Then the other day, out of the blue, I receive an email telling me that someone made a comment on myspace. So I check the site to find the following message "Hey, you are a freak." The message came from an old high school friend that I haven't talked to in years. I thought it was kind of a strange comment to make, so I went over to his myspace site to see what was going on. When the page loads, I don't immediately notice anything unusual. Then I scroll down to find rather strange pictures posted on his "wall" (the comments section). One of photos was of two cats sitting next to each other, one with his arm around the other and the caption read "lets be friends." There was another with a picture of a smiling, pointing Jesus with the caption "Y'all going straight to hell!" Well, I thought those were kind of strange. Then I noticed something even stranger: My username and picture were next to the pictures, saying that I had put them there. Thoroughly perplexed, I shared this with my buddy, Andrew, who I was studying with at the time. Andrew just happens to be another myspace contact and told me that I had been posting really strange things on his wall also. He had been meaning to talk to me about it, but it had apparently slipped his mind. So, I go to his site and see more pictures, this time even more crude in nature. One was of a baby looking at a pornographic magazine with the caption "mmmmm, milk," once again with my picture and name by it. This was starting to concern me at this point, and I checked other contacts on my list. It turns out that I had sent one to an old friend from high school that had a scantily clad girl sitting in bed with the caption "call me when you hit Lotto."

I later called my brother, who is very big into myspace, facebook, and all things related to internet social networking. He told me that I had also posted strange things to his site including to check out a link to the "best butts on myspace 2007 awards." He also told me that it means someone hacked into my account and was using my username to post on other people's webpages. OOps. I ended up changing my password, which I hope will solve the problem. Otherwise, I guess I'll delete the account in order to stop scaring off old friends.
