: Ha, ha, I seriously pissed off my bro's friend when we were watching The Recruit. I think you have to have some faith in people, or you end up not trusting anything.

Wait... You have to have faith in people you met on the internet? Why? Shit, I met my boyfriend on the internet and we've been together for almost 6 years now, and I didnt trust him until I had met him in person.

: : : ok this is inspired by a group of pople who REALLY pissed me off.

: : :
: : : 1) have you ever made friends on the internet?

: : Sure. A reasonable number...

: : : 2) if so how long did you stay friends?

: : I'm still friends with most of them today - so a good while.

: : : 3) Have you seen them in person?

: : Yes.

: : : 4) Have you ever ben stalked somone you met on the internet?

: : Depends. I had a guy I met on the internet who used to come to where I worked on occasions... I wouldnt say he stalked me, but even when I told him I wasnt interested - he kept coming back.

: : : 5) Are people who hang out on the internet (excludong this place) generally fat, pale and nerdy and stuff?

: : Thats kind of a foolish assumption. The internet has become a wide-spread addiction, not just for the elitist nerd population. While the concept of every computer geek looking like Johnny Lee Miller and Angelina Jolie is a farce - I still wouldnt say that every fan of the internet is the exact opposite (even generally).

: : : 6)Why do people make preconcptions about people they've known on the internet for a week?

: : Ah, but its funny to make preconceptions about people they dont know who use the internet (see above). But it all comes down to making a first impression without the use of inflection or intent. You can be anything you want to be based on how well you get your message across in text. Thats why I dont ever guess what a person is like in person.

: : : 7) Ever had cyber sex? Did it do it for you?

: : Sure. I was about 16 pretending to be 24 because I was some horny kid new to the world of all things gay, and sure it did something for me.

: : : 8) Are people on the internet really your friends or are they words on a screen? Did you make thenm what you wanted them to be?

: : Its all just fucking pixels. I dont put all of my trust in anything anyone says on the internet.

: : : 9) Did you miss me?

: : : ( i didn't think so)

: : :
: : : Sorry i am bitter and curious
