I know that things like Facebook, Myspace, MSN, text messaging, etc. are supposed to make it easier for us all to communicate and bring us closer together. But I just find they can make you feel more lonely. Something to do with an illusionary amount of potential contact that is so seldom realized.

You’ll be sitting at the computer on Facebook going, “What the hell? I’ve got 1800 friends and I’ve been sitting here for…God, must be FIVE MINUTES – not ONE message in that time! Not from any one of my 1800 friends! Law of averages people; LOOK INTO IT! C’mon what am I, a pariah? Why did you even click ‘Accept’ to my friend request; is that what a friend is these days? Never writing? And my cell phone – no text messages in half an hour! I might as well be a hermit living in the mountains with a beard down to the floor that I have to throw over my shoulder so I don’t trip on it. Well this day is just buckets and buckets of sadness and maybe a few drops of bitterness for good measure. I hate you all!”
