dodge this!

I'm on Dodgeball, which is an extremely geographically and culturally-specific service that allows groups of friends to text-message the service with their location (generally in bars, at night) and have their friends be notified, and to similarly receive notifictions of their friends' whereabouts, so that everyone might meet up. Additionally, if users don't have enough friends or are interested in hooking up with anything with two legs and the ability to use SMS, they can elect to be notified of the whereabouts of friends-of-friends or even complete strangers.

I was peer-pressured into joining (if I reject your Dodgeball friend request, it's just because I don't need any more Dodgeball, not because I don't like you) and was rewarded by having my phone buzz all night while I'm sitting at home, in my pajamas, on my computer, in my apartment in East Harlem, conditions which are not at all conducive to spontaneously joining people at Lolita bar.

Now, I am striking back by Dodgeballing in from fun places at noon, when all those other people are at their day jobs.
