If I were to design a MySpace page for a friend, I would have to choose my roommate Brian. He just moved in, and I don't know him very well yet, but I think I could represent his interests fairly accurately based on my impressions of him over the past month.
The first visual image that comes to mine when I think of Brian is a saltwater aquarium. He loves his fish. I would likely use an image of an aquarium or underwater reef as the background for the page. Brian also loves to watch television, falling asleep and snoring loudly on the couch. It might be funny to include a video clip of this, since he likes to deny this annoying habbit. Other images that would be appropriate might be a picture of the inside of our refrigerator, since Brian is very particular about his food and how it is arranged, or perhaps a picture of his favorite actress (some older chick from Stargate Atlatis). I might also include a couple links to his favorite pornograhy sites, since that is another of his favorite hobbies.
Admittedly, my impression of Brian thus far is not the most favorable, but I am stuck with him as a roommate and I do consider him a friend (however awkward). I would be careful not to offend him with the MySpace page, while at the same time visually conveying to him the impressions he has given me over the past month we have known each other. I would also ask for his input, of course; perhaps listing quotes or personal information that he might want to include. Such an activity might actually help us get to know each other better, possibly easing tension and contributing to a less annoying living environment for all our roommates.
