New Facebook App Request
Have you noticed how many people's Facebook profiles are beginning to look like MySpace pages? I have, and let me tell you: my eyes are bleeding.
I would like a Facebook application that hides all Facebook applications on others' profile pages. I don't care about your aquarium or who your top friend is (it's probably not me) or how many pirate points you have. And also, how are you a Vampire AND a Vampire Slayer AND a Zombie? It defies reason.*
All I want is a good idea if I should stalk you and then the information that will allow me to do so. Get rid of the rest of the crap! Oh, and then I want to play Scrabulous with you.
*I'll have to check with my housemates on this one, but I'm fairly certain this have never occurred on Buffy. I don't think there has ever even been a Vampire Vampire Slayer, which is too bad because Eliza Dushku would have been a wicked hot bloodsucker. Also, would a Zombie Vampire go after brains or blood first? Regardless, what did the cheerleader say when a zombie hid in her locker? "Hey, where are my pom-"OM NOM NOM NOM.

I just wish there were more useful things that fit in the left column. The way I surf the right column ends up minimum twice as long as the left, and I feel compelled to balance it out some. I've yet to see any worthwhile use of the space though, since I dislike how notes are imported. Maybe I should just create an unnecessary number of albums.

I thought that was the point, a lot of crap everywhere on my facebook page =D
Who played with his vampire and slayer anyway ? (me apart...)
Oh Drewd, what is Scrabulous ?
It's a dream for me and my wife (and my son, now) to come to the US so I guess one day I'll seesmic you that I come visiting America =)

I've always wondered why noone bothers to turn slayers into vampires when they kill them. Theories: 1) If some of the slayer powers passed over, you would have one champion of the vampires. Vampires are a rogue and independent group who do not want a unifying champion, so she must die. 2) Vampires hate the slayer so much (though a slayer is born every generation, the killing of a slayer by a vampire is usually after a lot of stalking and scheming and hate-building-up) that death is more desireable than irony. 3) A slayer retains the strength to not drink blood until she is dead and incapable of drinking it. Interesting sidenote - note how vampires go on about slayer blood, but the two of the most detailed slayer killings performed by a vampire are drowning and throat slitting, not drinking. I think Spike is the only one who does any drinking, but I don't remember how his two die.
But to your origional question: Does facebook play by BTVS rules? Or does slayer just mean a Van Helsing type, not one girl in all the world. Cause if they just want a vampire who kills other vampires, there are plenty of those.
And why doesn't facebook have an app where I can introduce two friends to be friends? huh?

RV - I think there is such an app - it's called "Introduce Me". Check out: Introduce Me.
My friend Eli used it a few weeks ago to introduce me to his friend Kelly, who just moved to Seattle to start a PhD program at UW. And then we randomly met in person last night at GreenDrinks. It's a small town.

Rendezbook does that, among other things. It was designed by a Mudder, too.

Totally agree. I have a MySpace account I've never used simply because it makes the amateur web designer in me cry. It also makes me sad that 90% of the time someone hears that I know how to design a website the first thing they say is "Really! I bet you could design a bad ass MySpace page!" Ugh...
