Kelly's World

Early in August I was down in Sydney with friends, when one particular friend, Fran, realised something was just a little bit strange. When looking at another one of our friend’s photo albums on facebook it showed a NSFW photo (aka porn – watch the alarms go off now I mentioned that word). Given that she was looking at a photo album posted by Jo sharing photos of a recent p!nk concert, and instead seeing, uh, some other kind of pink bits, it was a little bit odd.

Luckily, the owner of the facebook album, Jo, was in Sydney with us. When questioned by Fran about the picture, Jo was shocked. It DEFINITELY wasn’t one of hers. We grabbed my iPhone to see if the same photo was visible when looking at the album and amazingly, it wasn’t!

Even when viewing all the pictures in the album it was the same.

The photo is visible in the third row down, second from the left.

It’s important to note that for the purpose of this blog post I took screenshots of my iPhone only today, although this is using the latest Facebook app (3.0). However, at the time of experiencing the issue with Fran’s phone I was running an earlier version of Facebook (which was the same version as Fran) but the issue still existed. Has anyone else ever had this problem?

Also, it makes you wonder just what photos Fran had on her phone exactly to make this kind of picture appear? *wink*

I had sworn that I would NEVER join facebook or myspace ever ever ever. Why? Because I was too cool *grin* Because I didn’t want to be part of the crowd. Unfortunately, two of my friends have stripped me of that right and signed me up to facebook. As such, I am now part of the crowd….

Sam is the friend whore, and Amber is the one who uses it like it SHOULD be used. Sam just wants to have the most friends, and Amber just wants to see everyone’s photos haha.

So far I’ve gone through and checked out if any of my old mates from high school were on there and have been pleasantly surprised. I’ve already caught up with mates that I haven’t spoken to in about 6 years, since schoolies. And they were friends that I got along with great, I just never managed to keep in touch after high school. That’s pretty awesome.

I’ve also had a photo of me holding a vibrator uploaded by Mat’s sister but that’s another story (it was her hens night!! And given it was a sex party onboard a boat, I really had no choice. I’m just glad it’s Nic that is poking her tongue out in the general direction of her “happy stick”).

So I guess it’s time for me to admit that I’m not so rebellious as first thought, nor a nonconformist. But for as long as I can, I’ll try to blame it on Sam and Amber as to why I’m not unique.
