do you ever think the internet makes you feel more isolated? everyone always raves it makes you more connected blah blah. but sometimes i think it makes you feel more alone.
so this is another random observation about friendster: i think that people who are not classically attractive have an advantage in the sense that they have more time to develop their interests and tastes. you know, go to theatre, read books, and develop a sense of what is really worthwhile or intellectual. i came to this thought after randomly browsing through people's profiles and there is a high correlation between those who are attractive (at least in the photos they post) and dreadfully poor tastes and/or blank profiles. Example: a girl who likes both dashboard confessional, all-american rejects PLUS sweet home alabama. i could excuse some for "so bad it's good" but only some (i.e. new wave fancying cheesy 80s films). or their "about me" blurbs are so generic and dull. perhaps i am being snobbish.
