Our favorite author has updated her website this morning, with a new entry in the Rumors category, dispelling any notion that she has a MySpace, Bebo, Facebook page or takes part in any of the popular social networking sites. Jo writes:
No, sorry, not even one of them, though they do seem to lead very exciting lives, these fake J K Rowlings. I like to imagine them partying with all my imaginary friends (‘a close friend confided…’) in some bright and shiny alternative universe. But meanwhile, on planet earth, the dull human J K Rowling hasn’t got, and has never had, a profile on MySpace, Bebo or any similar site.
Thanks Bel!
I don’t blame her one bit! I have a facebook profile and it is so annoying! (Yes, I should get rid of it, it really is a waste of time).
Most of these places are often nameless people ‘posing’ to use a phrase already stated here, after the initial excitement wears off they are just another reason for not getting out and meeting people face to face.
Good on you, Jo!
ROFLMAO! No doubt. Well, I will say this: Jo is a very savvy lady. I would imagine the LAST place you’d find her would be on MySpace or Facebook. After all, who wants their “inbox” filled with pleas for information and rants about the “latest…[insert item here]...I believe[if i’m not horribly mistaken] that is why she has her own website with “sites” to look at. I use Facebook and MySpace, to keep in touch with friends and relatives, who live a good distance away.[Several states away.] I have plenty of “real” friends and I am a reenactor, so I spend a LOT of time really “meeting” people….face to face! You go, Jo. The “real world” is SO much nicer! :D
No, no… I am the real J.K. Rowling. Aye. And if you believe that I have a bridge to Brooklyn to sell ya. See how easy it is to abuse the internet. No, I am not J.K. I am just prentending to be (very badly). lol. It just seems so appropriate in this post. Cheers to all.
But really, don’t believe everything you read, unless its in a Harry Potter Novel.
bwahahaha. Oh, JKR, you’re a funny one. Though, imagine the look on her face should she get an invitation for one of those random Facebook applications like “Which House Are You In?” or “Which Harry Potter Character Are You??” XD Hi-larious.
It’s funny, I saw one of them once on myspace and they kept on saying that they were the actual Jo but the about me section was strangely in the 3rd person XD eg. J.k Rowling won this award and that award in such and such year (XD)
One wasn’t very convinced lol
