Terminator vs. the Terminate Her

Networking sites have revolutionised the art of socialising. It's sensationalised friendships to the point of no return, people speak to you over keyboards (my friend calls them keyboard warriors, that made me laugh) who don't make eye contact with you in person, it's annoying and it's weird.

Without Facebook I wouldn't know half the useless shit I do about other people's lives. I'd have more time on my hand too.. to do shit like watch t.v. and eat, perhaps scatch my bum and maybe even in that order.

Now you can have more friends on MySpace than you do brain cells, more Facebook friends than the popluation of your city. Suddenly you get a slice of fame. You load photos for people to look at, you write shit to be read. It's bizarre.

Subsequently you can delete people out of your life. Again, it's weirding me out that you (collective) have so many Facebook friends who don't know shit about who you really are, and you can easily remove, ignore and avoid those who know you from a to z. I don't know what else to say right now, it's late. I'll be back.
