so I dont leave the house much because I don't have many friends here. I don't like being harassed at bars, so i stay home and read. I don't let getting creepy emails so I block creeps on myspace. Maybe I just hate people too much. Maybe most of them even deserve my hatred. But if I am going to stay in to avoid douche bags, I need to avoid the social networking applications on my phone. Recently I decided that I don't follow enough people on twitter or IM enough people, so why not try out some of these fancy apps that let me talk and tweet with the strangers around me. WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING? There's a reason I stay inside most of the time.
So first I played around with twinkle because it was a convenient twitter app for my phone that always left me logged in. I thought, hey neat, it shows me the twitters of the people around me, maybe I will see some cool people. HA. It is filled with 16 year olds living in their parents house. I had a kid beg me to date him. Because I want to commit statutory rape. I haven't wanted to date a 16 year old since I was 15. A whole decade ago. And when I refused he told me that the least I could do is hook him up with a hot younger girl because he NEEDED a girlfriend. Yeah, so that must mean he thinks I have a horde of 16 year old girls hanging around me. That would just be creepy. I quickly learned to just avoid my messages and the nearby feature[also, adding Molly to my following list has filled with me enough tweets to keep me entertained, good job!]
So I should have known better, but at Molly's urging I got the 'around me' app so she could check for geeks in the area. This one is basically instant messaging, but instead of your normal buddy list it's filled with the people nearby. weeee. So this is primarily men in their late 30's wanting to cyber. I should have known that I was asking for this shit, but hey, I was bored. So I sign in and INSTANTLY I get 16 messages. I stupidly think, neat, new people to talk to me[will I never learn?]. Most of them are some form of, 'you are hot' and 'I bet you are horny right now'. gooood times. So before blocking everyone I respond to some old man with "not for you" when he asks me "are you horny?". Is that really an appropriate ice breaker? I mean, does any girl welcome this from a COMPLETE stranger. Strangers who can stalk them because their city and actual miles away are listed right next to their name? The fucker had the nerve to ask me "why". I really hate people sometimes. Who even cybers with strangers anymore. I was so over that by the end of middle school[and I know that I was strange, but before I was old enough to entice creepy men a decade older than me in real life, I had to get male attention somewhere!]. It just makes me sad that some girls out there must respond to this for them to keep trying. So many guys are comfortable with this method of getting to know someone. I am so disappointed in mankind.
It's like those plastic testicles hanging off trucks in the Inland Empire[won't miss those!]. Really, what is more sad, the guys that feel more manly with balls hanging off their truck, or the girls who will have a sex with one of these men? I want to say the guys are, but then they wouldn't act like this if someone didn't encourage them. I just hate people.
So I am going to stay in and be cynical. Because I can:)
Unless of course one of you fun crafty girlies out there wants to hang out. Then by all means, please call me!
