I just want some friends

Facebook friends, that is.

If you haven't already, just sign up with facebook (so ensuring that you are permanently stalkable), and send me a friend request.

No reasonable offer refused.

If you send me too many offers of applications, you will be terminated. ;-)

Be warned though, I update my status irritatingly regularly.

facebook chess II

Since I blogged about facebook chess I not only haven't picked up any opponents, I appear to have scared off a few of you and even paralyzed one of you into chessboard inaction.

*throws head back and laughs*:mwahahahahahaaaa!

But seriously, send me a challenge, someone. I'm not that good, really.

facebook chess

It's the first time I've played chess in years. I used to play all the time in primary school.

I remember that Sherlock Holmes used to play chess by post in the Conan Doyle stories. [edit: no I don't. see comments]

Anyone want a game, feel free to challenge on facebook. I have a lot of writing to do and I need the brain working. I promise to make at least two unforced blunders per game.

De-faced!

I've been making Facebook friends like nobody's business, sitting here clicking away on people's profiles, people who I vaguely remember having passed some time in the street in Adelaide in 1985 (just an example Frank, I don't mean you buddy).

Suddenly a message pops into my inbox, saying something like, "Yes I remember you, and you obviously remember me, but I'm not your friend. Never was, never will be. Goodbye."

Now all this is fair enough, no hard feelings, free world etc. But gentle blog reader, I'm sitting here bleeding arterial blood, straight from a wound to my heart, and into the keyboard of my laptop. Help me out here. It will probably take at least 10 of you adding yourself on as my friends before I recover from the hurt of this one.

And don't worry, if you request me as a friend, then like America's Statue of Liberty I will never turn y'all away. Well, perhaps you David. Oh, and you, Andrew. But the rest of you poor huddled masses, pile on in.

Facebook

I'm on, and I'm looking for friends, especially friends who will send me a fish!

Just put 'Gordon Cheng' into the Facebook search engine and you will find me easily enough.

Edit to add:

Hey everybody,

Thanks for all the fish you keep sending!

I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed by peoples' generosity at the moment, so please forgive me if I don't respond to every fish personally.
