“I was looking at your MySpace page today” said John.
“Oh yeah?” said Floyd, who was seated in his favorite chair, in his bedroom.
John was sitting on the end of Floyd's bed.
“Yeah,” said John, “why aren't I one of your Top Friends?”
“You aren't?”
“No, I'm not and you damn well know it!” shouted John, getting stupidly
angry.
“OK, I just don't see you as one of my Top 8 Friends” said Floyd, hiding
his smirk behind a magazine.
“Change the amount of friends then!”
“Nah, that'll mess up my page”
“I think I should be in your Top 8. We talk every day, we've known each
over for years. I so am one of your Top 8 Friends!” said John.
“Nah, you're ninth, honest” said Floyd, doing further hidings behind
his magazine.
“I'm a better friend than Johnny Depp!” exclaimed John, “what the hell
has he ever done for you? He's never lent you £20 and he's never done
your homework for you. I have reason to believe that he's never done
anything for you!”
“He has made multiple great movies. How many great movies have you made?”
asked Floyd, no longer doing any hidings of smirks.
“Are we counting mobile phone videos?” asked John.
“No”
“Then, none”
“Exactly! When you make some great movies, you'll displace the Deppster,
but until then, you're ninth” said Floyd, hoping some kind of flying
monkey or dormouse would swoop through his bedroom window and devour
John.
“OK, what about Denise? You two broke up months ago, she is still your
Top Friend!” exclaimed John once more, John liked to exclaim a lot.
“That bitch is still on there?” shouted Floyd.
“Language!” bellowed a voice from downstairs.
“Sorry Granny,” shouted Floyd, “anyways,” turning to John and lowering
his voice, “I thought I deleted that cunt! To the computer!” said Floyd
as his arm shot up.
Although Floyd made a arm-thrusting-voice-raised fuss about going to
his computer, it was really only a chair spin away. Floyd spun his chair
and switched on the computer. Waited ten seconds. Entered his password,
hiding his fingers and the keyboard from John. Waited a further thirteen
seconds and then opened Mozilla Firefox.
John moved from the bed to sit next to Floyd, so he could get a better
view of his admittance to Floyd's Top 8.
Floyd had logged in to MySpace and was viewing his Top 8. Denise was
top and this irritated Floyd as he was sure he had deleted her.
“The bitch!” exclaimed Floyd, who was also partial to an exclamation
now and again.
“Language!” shouted Granny.
Floyd clicked on 'Change My Top Friends'.
Floyd had 436 friends and now he had the task of picking one to be in
his Top 8, displacing that bitch Denise.
A Top Friends list on MySpace is the juvenile equivalent of winning the
Oscars. Many belittle the whole thing, but, only when they aren't a winner.
“Wow”, said John, “you have a lot of friends. Is that the real Joe Pesci?”
“Dunno, maybe? Probably not, I think he's dead, he hasn't made a movie
in years”
“Doesn't mean he is dead” said John.
“As good as. To be honest, as long as he isn't working on a new album,
I don't care” said Floyd, as he moved to page 2 of his friends list.
“He made an album?” asked John.
“Yeah”
“Download it!”
“Fuck No!”
“Language!”
“Go on, I wanna hear it!”
“No”
“Go on!”
“Look, you're not acting like a Top 8 Friend right now. You're acting
like a dick” said Floyd, “oh look, theres Charles Bukowski, he's a far
better candidate for my Top 8.”
“OK, I didn't really wanna hear it anyways” said John, who whenever he
didn't get his way,he never really wanted it anyway.
Floyd did more clickings.
And John looked on, he swore that his profile was back one page.
“Fuck Yeah!” shouted Floyd.
“Language!”
“Sorry!”
“What?” asked John.
“Guess who is my friend?” asked Floyd.
“Err, Jesus?” said John.
“Jesus doesn't have a MySpace!”
“Does so”
“Doesn't”
“Does”
“Shut up. Anyways, Matt Stone. Yes, that's right, Matt Stone is my friend”
proudly, Floyd gestured towards the screen to point at a little photo
of Matt Stone.
“Na-uh. The South Park guy?” asked John.
“Damn straight”
“Is it really him?”
“Of course it is, why would someone pretend to be him?”
“To trick people like you!” laughed John.
“See, this is why you aren't in my Top 8. Matt Stone is now number 8!”
“No fucking way!” shouted John.
“Language!” screamed Granny.
“What the hell has Matt Stone ever done for you?” asked John.
