Woo-hoo, Rebekah backs me up!! ;) Yeah, I am still not sure what Myspace is centered around, lol...it definitely seems to have a more shallow vibe, especially with the emphasis on photos and "top 8" and stuff like that. And yes, trendy as hell...plus I get deluged by messages and friend requests from random strange creeps on there (mostly based on my pics and the simple fact that I'm young and female), whereas on lj people can't comment on my lj unless they're at least an lj member (and ever since I changed it to that from anonymous, I have not gotten a single evil troll or anything remotely annoying even!), and can't email me unless they're on my friends list I think; I believe I have my email addy on my userinfo set to friends-only visibility. People generally want to friend me on here because they actually like reading what I write (and often because we also have many shared interests, especially if they meet me on a lj community), not because of what I look like or anything...

And yay for the personal being the political! Except, of course, most of what I write on an average day isn't very political at all, heh. Oh well.
