The Rants and Raves of an Addict

I feel good when I see that I didn't post an entry yesterday - now I've given people the impression that I'm not the internet addict I make myself out to be. Of course though, I was online but then thinking about it, I would normally only post an entry if I've been offline and doing something interesting.

I must admit though, I do love being online. The people can be so interesting - I think that personalities shine best through lyrics. I think for me, someone would find out so much more about my persona from talking to me online than meeting me in person. You know how people say that when you lose one sense, the others heighten? So blind people have excellent hearing or deaf people have better observation skills? Well, I think that when I'm online, I can rant and rave. When you take down the barrier of intimidation all of a sudden you are just more free. Actually, I wouldn't call it intimidation, I think that 'confrontation' is a better word.

Meeting someone and wondering where to look when suddenly the conversation has stopped, or trying to give them the once over without their knowing, it can be hard! I think that the internet is just so much more social.. the true colours come out. That is why, in some weird way, I have so much respect for people who break up with their partners through email (although I haven't heard of that happening to anyone I know!). I think it would be so much more honest and easier to convey their feelings than face to face. Take out this confrontation aspect and everything is great.

I love this photo - I love everything about it. The lighting, the shadows, the divisions, the whole calmness surrounding it. When you see the bigger image, Alistair looks like he is having so much fun, it's just one of those 'playful' moments, caught on film. I just love it and I don't care if anyone else doesn't. I don't care if Max hates it. I love it, and that's all that matters.
