more MySpace idiocy

Two friend requests on MySpace today. Note -- these are random strangers who have requested to friend me. I go to look at the profile, to see if it's simply spam, and in both cases I find the profile is private, and that I am not allowed to see the profile until the person has friended me.

So, even though *they* initiated the friend request, MySpace will not let me see who they are until *after* I friend them back. I haven't a clue who these people are, and no way to tell if they might be genuinely interested in me, playing stupid "I've got more friends than you" games with their social group, or out and out spammers.

I could always friend them briefly and then unfriend them again, but really, it's easier just to ignore them. Not their fault, but MySpace's. Bad coding, guys.

Paid account, and new icon

So I've finally given in and bought a paid account in the sale. Which means I can upload more icons -- starting with the icon kalypso_v made for me last week in celebration of the Torchwood radio play and my new fanfic posting LJ. :-)
