I just might shun most of my other internet haunts to focus on something more personal, so piss off LJ, gheyspace, and frakbook (never did embrace twatter)!!! I don't need you, but I am still intrigued by how people use these platforms. I started a blog on wordpress, but I never got past the concept. "Dolldork" was going to be for my obsession with dolls, and I still might give it a go; however, having a baby really steals time from my selfish, shallow pursuits. Is the internet not based on shallow pursuits? Take the internet away from billions of people and what would happen? Would it get ugly? Would people realize that time spent elsewhere just might change the world for the better? I'm not saying the internet is inherently evil or wasteful, but it seems to be an extension of the "all blow and no go" expression. Hey, let's talk about it 'til we're blue in the face, but do anything about it? Why, that would steal time from stalking people on frakbook!
No, I know from my own meanderings on teh interwebz that people do use it to showcase things made, events planned, causes educated, political agendas brandished, and, most importantly, personal stories told. I love the web because I see it as a way to look at the whole wide world in which I live. It's like a window through which I can spy the things that fascinate me, move me, anger me, inspire me, and prompt me to DO something about it. I must adjust my position from before and state the internet is a subjective experience, for it is what one makes of it. Kinda like the lives we live!
