Orkut and Associated Craziness

Orkut is a strange place. Addictive and ridiculous. Addictive because so many crazy profiles. Ridiculous because so many crazy profiles.
Sarcastic profiles are a fun to read. But serious, sincere, love-sick and so called Gothic and dark brooding profiles are even funnier.
I am going to write about the funnier stuff.
My hands are itching to copy-paste the links here. But you must have seen your share too. (If you are not on Orkut or haven't heard about it then you are either a new born or have visited the Planet Earth recently.)

The fun begins with the first section : About Me (Now it has moved to second place. Relationship status is the first section now I believe).

I am a fun loving guy/gal who loves to live life to the fullest. (Yeah and I just cannot wait to give up my life in half so that I can begin my journey towards the afterlife).
I hate people who lie.(Include yourself in that list too then. In the history mankind their are only 3 people who have never lied in their whole life. George Bush Jr., Dick Cheney and Tony Blair.) (When I started blog I promised myself never to express my political opinions. To stay clear of that path. But now I just couldn't help myself. See. I kinda lied to myself too. Hate me.)
I am a shy person. (If you are shy then what on earth are you doing on a social networking site.)
And there are those who write essays in this section. Some very very wordy lines, mostly taken from elsewhere. What they hate and love about themselves, life and universe in general. Value of friends in their life. Kinda like Ms. Universe speech.

The next funny part is the personal section. I don't even want to talk about ideal match.
Let's move on to Ideal First Date:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Candle light dinner on a quiet evening. With Frank Sinatra singing in the background. Cupid practicing his archery on us. Then a nice stroll on a beach. And all is fine with the world. (Reality bites girls. No guy in his right mind would ever spend so much money on a first date. Unless he is insanely in love. Get ready for a movie and if lucky then dinner. According to me the ideal first date is the one that ends with a promise of a second date. What more could one want? By the way, about that stroll on the beach. It is high time you give a visit to Dadar chowpatty. This is the perfect season.)

Let's get to the last part. The Photos.
I can put up with people posting the pics of their dogs and cats with captions like cho chweeeeettt.....or isnt that the cutest little thing ever? I can even tolerate people posting foto of some random baby on internet with same captions used for pets. Like above for example.
But not those who use some strange dark themed pics. With captions like fallen angel, bleeding phoenix, tears of world or any crap like that. These captions can also be their display names.

I can easily write many articles on these topics. In fact when I thought about writing it, I thought of much more. But it's slipping out of my mind now.

I have the right to write all about it because none of above is true in my case. You can check my profile on Orkut. In fact I haven't changed anything in my profile in over a year. After all fallen angels always have same things to tell.
