Cos I'm Lonely, But I Ain't That Lonely Yet

So just read about this dude who posted a fake female identity on a hook-up site, and then posted the information that people sent within the first 24 hours. another good reason not to hit this place up.

MC Lars'song 'Internet Relationships' has several other reasons - like the 34 yo with a wooden leg who likes to sniff glue, or the 15 yo who 'just has to be 18 how could she not'.

but the main one for me is, that there has to be a better way to meet people. things like that prank show that people are just as likely to hide who they really are online as they are off. most people don't even know what they're really like - I've got no idea how i'd be described by a girl I know telling another to give me a go (It's happened at least once). and then it's a whole other level - how do you know what one person thinks of an individual is the same way another would perceive that same person?

Sometimes a spark'll hit you, like this girl i've seen on the bus and down my street sometimes. absolutely captivating, but is that any measure of how well we'd synch? I might be questioning myself a bit more than i'd normally would given the amount of time I'm spending on my own studying, but hey. whatever. finish thesis, get a lazy job, and go to the beach as much as weather permits. go out when I can. it'll happen whenever it damn well wants to, and not a second before. posted by Keegan at 5:53 pm
