New MySpace User Excited about New Friend 'Tom'
Left: "Tom," Hufford's new MySpace pal
(Ann Arbor, MI) Paul Hufford admits that he is often "a little behind" cultural trends, and the University of Michigan sophomore was the last person in his dorm to start a MySpace page.
Hufford said that he was "kind of surprised" when his new website had an immediate visitor: a new friend named "Tom."
"It was pretty cool, really, that Tom and I happened to bump into each other by chance," he recalled. "Or maybe it was, like, divine intervention or something. I'm not super religious or anything, but maybe God was telling me something."
Hufford said that he understands why Tom has not gotten back to him right away.
"His MySpace profile says he has 176,283,915 friends, so I'd guess he gets just a few emails!" laughed Hufford. "But seriously, Tom? I've sent you about eight messages, so: Get back to me, dude."

Still, said Hufford, he has some reservations about the virtual relationship he has built with Tom.
"I have to admit - what if Tom is, like, one of those cybersex freaks who really just wants to get me drunk and seduce me?" he pondered. "I mean, it would really suck if Tom is just after me for my ass, so he can throw me down on the grass and do me like a cheap porn whore. So, Tom? I'm a little creeped out, buddy. Call me."
