“The things anybody can hear, but nobody bothers to- this is what we call white noise.”

 

“What are you doing right now?” Ah, yes; reading, of course! Did you know that wars are still persisting? You do. Did you know that children in third world countries are starving? You always have; those commercials on TV won’t let you know otherwise. Maybe you know what your friends are up to, too…

But what’s Bob from Toronto up to? I don’t know either. Okay, maybe you do- in which case a better question would be; “Is there a fly in Stuart Little’s cat bowl right now?” There’s something you can’t answer. It seems people insist on sucking up all the information they possibly can about what goes on with the people closest to them; and there are some things people just know- like the starving kids on the other side of the world. But surely you wouldn’t be able to answer if somebody asked you what Bilimsel from Istanbul is doing. For a matter of fact, he says he’s currently; ‘ufuğun kolundaki kılları yaktıktan sonra bir depar attım, kendime inanamadım, evet 25 yaşındayım (100 binlik arabam yok)’. And no, I can’t translate. That’s a little out there, no? Okay; let’s try something a little closer to home- How about (random citizen) from 2 blocks down? Maybe you don’t even know their name! Look out the window; any passersby? Do you know them; do you know what they’re doing? How about this; You can’t tell me what Sheryl from Spain, or what Kari from Brazil were doing yesterday. I know; but I can’t tell you what’s up with them today >.>

“Why on earth would I need to know these things!?” Well; nobody would need to, but can’t you admit that you’re interested to some extent? Most people use the internet to communicate with people they already know, or to find out stuff they absolutely must know. What I see in this internet is an enormous BLOB of people from all over the world. Who can resist mingling with such a crowd? Everybody’s going to be different here. I’M REALLY HUNGRY RIGHT NOW SOMEBODY FEED ME!!!! Heh…anyway; I was saying! I’m rather shy IRL, but when I get going on forums, MMO’s, etc. I’m a social butterfly! mom’s crazy she already packed up all our food for the move… Okay; let me get straight to it before my stomach eats itself- Check out Twitter.com if you’re interested in what the world’s doing- or if you just sick of people saying ‘nothing’ every time you ask them ‘what’s up?’ on MSN. (No, really- those situations destroy the use of MSN and everybody does it)

 

Double post today! And in case you’re wondering; this was originally going to be a review for Twitter but as you can see it quickly became some rather random blurp.

Sheryl- sometime after lunch she exclaimed on Twitterfaces “I’m either stuffed full of curry or about to have a little Indian baby”
Kari- She was playing Metin 2, attempting and mostly failing to communicate with English me. She also insisted on trying to attack mobs of much higher level than herself T.T
