This reminds me of the anonymous confession thing that made it's rounds on Facebook several years back. My cousin would post links to his every day with messages like, "Let's see what you've got" or "Give me your worst" attached to it. I suspect he was desperately fishing for compliments, or hoping for anonymous love confessions from the girls he was flirting with, as he would also post scrambled love letters on his wall that he must have figured these girls had time to sit down and eagerly unscramble (ie; I VELO UYO YLSHAE RMOE NTHA HTE UNS VELOS TEH ONOM). I always made sure to anonymously let him know what a stupid, annoying fuck he was being.
If I had a dollar for every stupid thing I've deleted that Facebook has reminded me I posted in high school or college, I'd be debt free.
I'm glad MySpace got nuked and deleted all my old stuff.
