actually a lot of my friends and their friends are very witty, so the idle chatter can be really entertaining. yesterday i almost fell off my chair laughing at a whole string of puns on the word "panda" which would have been perfectly at home in the llounge (the friend who started it is using a photo of a guy wearing a panda suit as his avatar. it might even be him in the panda suit ; knowing him it wouldn't surprise me. i should ask). now i want to add all of his funny friends even though i've never met them.
sadly, i am not nearly so witty. i'm a good audience though (easily amused).
on the other hand, the trivial updates about people's daily lives don't interest me too much unless they are actually good friends of mine. and those games...
