I have written about how I feel about social media before.
Also, wow. Remember when I wrote about food? That was awesome, even if my photos were not. I miss it.
So, yes. The internet. Christ. My flame burns bright, but what a fickle lover.
Yet, despite all my trepidation and the access I give people to my life and how strangers think they know me and etc, etc, etc…it is worth it.
Of course, I get amazing things from my writing. Of course, it is a rewarding, creative outlet. Of course, this exercise has forced me to grow. Twitter, for all its ridiculata, blows my mind on the regular. I love instant gratification. I am a whore for it. Of course, I get things from all this self aggrandizement. For this, I will not apologize.
But really? If we are really getting down to the nitty gritty? Why I stick around?
It is really a relief to see that everyone is just extremely fucked up.
The internet is crazy. Twitter is full of drunks, the kind of drunks that make me feel like a Mormon.
Oh, and women? You bitches be crazy. It’s ok; I have moments as well, but wow. I am in awe of the insanity.
Men? You aren’t off the hook so easy. You shatter in front of my eyes. No one is falling for your act.
Let’s not talk about sex. I have some base thoughts, things I can barely admit to myself. There are plenty of blog pages that make me downright bashful.
And for this I love the internet. People are conflicted and paranoid and kinky and unhinged and unrelenting and wrong. Just plain wrong.
And thank God I am not alone.

As I was reading this I kept thinking “hey, at least we are all in this together.”
The internet is a beautiful thing.
lbluca77´s last blog ..The internet…not just for shopping and porn anymore
Amen! I’ve been thinking lately that all the conformity of the 50′s and 60′s must have come from the fact that there was nothing like the internet to show people that there are options!

I LOVE the Internet. I particularly love the blogworld. I love the windows into other people’s happy and crazy and upsanddowns. And most of all, I love never feeling alone or completely aberrant. You put your craziest shit out there, and at least one person will say, “You, too?”
Also, although I am neither a foodie nor a cook, I used to really enjoy your food posts. I liked how you tied it all together.

michelle´s last blog ..talk to me
I’m with you. I love the internet for very similar things. I’m not the only dirty girl. I’m not the only alcoholic. I’m not the only one with dead people behind me. And well? I fit right in.

Word. So much word. I raise a YooHoo in your general direction!
There are some people I follow on Twitter or google reader purely because I wonder what insane thing they are going to come out with next. And I love it. (And sometimes also hate it, yet am compelled to keep reading.)
And no matter how bad I feel about something… i suddenly realise there’s someone out there who feels worse than me.
And DRINKS more than even I do. And it helps.

A-freaking-men to this! It’s crazy how “normal” the Internet can make you feel… and I think it does that for all us of. For better or worse…
