Peeking of posts.

I never normally do this either.

But here I was, complaining about blog comments being scarce in general, and an actual deep conversation emerges, et voila!

Note: Me and practically all my friends can be morbid, pessimistic and harsh. Don't let that scare you. We don't bite. Hard.

Me: *fidgets* Why don't people comment on things? D;

Me: Makes you feel like you're typing for yourself D; (which is the case, but eh)

Friend: Like what?

Me: Blog xD

Friend: Oh.

Friend: That's why I stopped blogging.

Friend: Waste of time.

Friend: Writing an old fashioned diary is better in that respect.

Me: I keep that, too.

Friend: Mostly people only skim over blogs.

Me: Yes. So do I.

Me: But I still comment. xD So..

Friend: It's because online, all normal social conventions go out the window.

Friend: If you were sitting in the same room as someone and they told you a story (aka a blog entry) they wouldn't listen to half of it, then walk away saying nothing.

Friend: Apart from a select few like you, who actually know what being human is online and offline.

Me: I'm not human either on or off, but yes, your point's valid.

Me: Which is a shame. xD

Friend: It's like the line from the end of Mr. Roboto

Friend: Machines to save our lives, machines dehumanise.

Friend: Technology is breaking society, that's just my view.

Friend: We live in a material SMS generation.

Me: That's sounds really scary.

Me: Sad thing that it makes me think it's beautiful blog material? n.n;;;

Friend: lol

Me: Well. Writing material, really. But then I'm always writing.

Friend: That's fine. But now anyone can write. Anyone can share their thoughts. With anyone.

Friend: But no one really cares about what anyone else thinks, really.

Me: I do? But then I'm weird.

Friend: Well, that's the point. Maybe back in the day, only someone like you (if you pursued it) would be writing stuff for people to read. But now everyone is doing it.

Friend: Even people who type u instead of you.

Me: 'i no' xD

You know what's also scary?

That it's not just writing. Photography is just as much done "by anyone", now that you can take pictures and videos with all semi-modern mobile, laptop and camera out there, and you can upload those to so many sites x.x

Still appreciate people following/reading this blog at all, don't get me wrong, I'm very grateful. Really.

Also: I'm hungry.

I think that's all. For now.
