oh i know Orble, dont rub it in! haha
i dont need my cyber life reflecting my real life dammit!
i dont really understand how to add friends on Orble, if i did i would most certainly have added nearly every fellow blogger who wrote something i liked . . . im one of those obsessive compulsive cyber networking people, i have over 400 friends on myspace and am one of those annoying people who try to make facebook like myspace and have added 270 people to that profile (scraping the bottom of the barrel of high school acquaintances i vaguely recognise and gay men i shared the mirror with in arqs womens toilets once) . . . i feel like an eccentric recluse hoarding cyber friends in the hope that i wont lose contact with society while i am in solitary confinement.
a rural/regional existance in the small triangular state (tasmania) has been a terrible culture shock for me . . . i moved here recently for financial/medical reasons as my parents retired here and i could no longer support myself in sydney, i felt like i had nowhere else to go and i needed some help . . . but as a highly social person i miss being able to walk around to a friends house or go out for dinner or drinks or a show . . . i miss all my queer friends, the queer community, and all of the art and culture of inner city living.
but it is not all a loss, i have my mobile phone and i run up the bill to astronomical levels, and i have my computer and a broadband connection, and i have all the time in the world . . . its just that theres no longer face-to-face communications due to distance and the bass strait . . . no cheap tuesday movie nights, no chai lattes at a victoria st cafe, no midnight drives to macdonalds, no shopping at myer, no indie gigs, no drag, no glitter, no friends smiles, NO!!!!!!
although on the upside i think im getting more dramatic lol . . . and more capable of harnessing my creativity and converting it to written form . . . and i found the local woolworths stocks lipton vanilla flavoured chai milk tea mix . . . its almost exactly like being on oxford st!
cheers

POOR PET!! POOR LOVE!!!
You will make lots of friends here!
How to add someone as a pal....umm...
1: right click on the blogger's name, appearing at the bottom left side of their recent post, where it says "posted by", and open another window with it, and then look down the list of things about that person, and you will see prompts asking to be their pal...
2: click on the be my pal prompt, and then an auto message appears and then it is sent....
....and then you wait and wait and...waiting....and then you either are made a pal,...OR....(drum roll)....(SFX: some sniggering from small unintelligent and non-house trained animals)...
...they do not respond, in which case, do not reply to their posts, except as an 'anonymous', by not logging in, and then leave something bitchy about the twaddle that LOSER has said on their blog...pant...pant...I'm all out of puff now!
cheers.....and.....
and I want you to describe where you live, and what the area around you looks like and stuff...COZ...I've never been to Tasweeegia!!! Always wanted to though, when I win lotto...we will meet and DO LUNCH and I will drink..umm..nice tea....and cappuchinos...and you will drink...YUCKY chai tea...sorry, only had it once and it was awful!!
cheers

i official have ONE friend on Orble! yay!
when i click the "be my my friend" button it comes up with four blank fields and asks me to fill in the desired persons email . . . but i dont know anyones email? do i? *sigh*
oh well hopefully this desperate pathetic plea for cyber attention will encourage all the nice Orble experts (like you) to send me a request . . . i know how to accept then now!
thanks for the comment and the friendship! x
(and no i dont work for lipton promotions i just go nuts for the scent of cloves haha and yes i will write about tazzy in many future)

I've got a lunch hour to fill so I'll be reading each of your blogs, checking for spelling mistakes, factual errors and gross exaggerations.
If I don't find any I'll be hugely disappointed Xx

my new pal!!! hehe!
I suppose I didn't explain it clearly, you click on the name of the person you want to be pals with, on their own site, so say you visited my blog, read it and thought, WOW!!! That guy is a genius and a fabulously brilliant comedic writer who should win an OSCAR!!...or...well...something like that maybe...probably not eh!!.....ahem...so you then right click on the person's name, on their blog, and follow as above and before...anyway, that is what you do!
cheers...looking foward to reading about Tazz...ya little devil!!!
HEY! That's an idea, start up a sub category, or a new blog, called Tazzy Devil Gurl or some such! And ask one of the CLEVER people here...(sadly I am not one of them)... to organize a banner designed on that concept, like a tasmanian devil cartoon like figure who is a girl and stuff.
I did my own, it's a bit crap, but, my pooter is screwed so...anyhooo..
cheers
