Notices the Internet
Sep. 21st, 2009 02:06 amSo this is where we answer questions as if we were important people being interviewed; or students of the month. (The reward for being student of the month at my elementary school was that you got to post your answers to questions like "What's your favorite TV show?" on a wall at school.) (Logical conclusion: what will motivate people now?)
There are awkward situations on the internet that could never exist elsewhere. People about whom you occasionally wonder, "what if X, Y, and Z were all in a room together again," where that scenario will never, thankfully, occur, can be found commenting on mutual 'friend's' posts--leaving weird evidence for everyone of this seeminly significant non-encounter.
Also there are the Friends With Whom One Has Parted Ways--the actual friends, I mean, with whom obviously some kind of uncomfortable gap needs to be crossed, which, it seems, does not get crossed. (I have tried in some cases, with, literally, no results.) It's kind of like inviting someone to a party who comes but never speaks to you.
Is it worth it? I suppose. Maybe. I don't know.
