I don't believe in instant, "fast food" relationships on the internet. I'm more into ridiculous fantasies involving former girlfriends. Found her registered at West Covina High School but I'm too afraid and ashamed to contact her.
Otherwise, I have no friends. Maybe one. I have a daugher but if I make her a friend she'll be co-dependant. I live in almost complete isolation. Prisoners in solitary confinement have more contact with others.
When are people ever real on this board? Larry Hoover is one of the few. I don't even know him and he was kind enough to offer me a ride to the next PB convention. (no can do) That's "real" - not artificial hugs and emoticons.
I don't get how people get anything out of online communication (or french films). I'm always amazed at how people love and hug each other online.
Have you seen the dating commercial? I'm in love with the "bad date" who says, "let's talk about something fun, like magic!" I think I've fallen for the actor not the bit.
Anyway, after years of message boards I don't see the point. Never been much for chat but I'm more alone now than I was six years ago.
I must sound like a zombie or the unfinished Conan sequal. I'm completely alone, isolated, and sound like a dating probe.
I think it's great, that so many couples get together. Yet why must they disguise their conversation with an awkward exchange about drug side effects?
Just let it hang out.
