yes, so i found someone's comments interesting so i sent a friend request and what i received was this message:
HI there....got your friend request. Before I accept requests I always like to ask the following questions to ensure that we will be compatible FB friends.....
Complete the following...
1. Gays should
2. God is
3> My motto is
and i responded:
lol, clever, i think :) i have a question, how do you skip a line in a message? :)
ah, press enter... that just sends the message in the message box, or is that the chat box... i am not on FB enough to know :)
ok, answers...
1. Gays should be free to enjoy their lives just like everybody else who means no harm to anyone else (people who mean harm to others should not be free to harm others, but that's another question answered in case you ever ask :) )
2. God with the capital is a concept people say they believe created everything... god with or without the capital is unknown and so far unnecessary to me and seems to be used by a lot of people as a reason to try to control, hurt, and kill each other... i wish they would stop that...
3. My motto is #1 honesty without harm... well, that's one of them... #2 i believe in love is another... expounding on #1 a bit, honesty is my highest ideal and intending no harm is the underlying goal of every breath i take, every thing i do (or every move i make, if we like Sting's lyric and don't read too much creepiness into it)... I am not perfect, but i strive to achieve my goal and live up to my ideal... #3 "the more right i think i am, the more wrong i can be" is another motto i remind myself to remember as often as i can...
scratching the surface, i like that... thanks for getting to know me a little... i think i found a friend, but then, see motto #3 above (hoping with laughter) and finally, for now, motto #4 there's always hope (i hope) :)
make today beautiful, or more beautiful than it already is :)
i tend to smiley-face a lot... hope that's ok :)
and the respond i got back was:
Great answers! Last question.... Sheer curiosity dictates I must ask if you are male or female? You could be both for all I care but as I said.... Curiosity.....
and then i replied:
I live in a male body... I don't believe in gender stereotypes for personality (like male or female traits and such) though i do understand gender tendencies are pretty much ingrained in human psyche, which i find sad... i don't pretend that labels and definitions do not matter, they are necessary for communication of ideas and i love communication... but it is fair to say that i am not into labels, that i don't put much value on most labels, and i am into the individual person behind the label :)
and we became friends on facebook... this sort of interaction is much more fun and exciting than the simple click and approve friend request thing most people do... i appreciate someone looking for a person rather than another notch on their friends list... now if only this person lived closer, we could share some more fun beyond words and whatever else can be sent from far away... alas, she lives on the other side of this world, australia, brisbane to be a bit more precise... looking at the climate, it's much like san francisco which is quite appealing... perhaps she'll adopt me lol... yeah, not looking at such a long journey anytime soon, but it would be sweet if the funds become available... feel free to send those winning lottery numbers or generous donations to my retirement fund anytime now :)
narf :)
