my thoughts on cyber stigma

Filed under: Posts — tz4fun @ 10:46:48 pm

Sometimes I have to wonder how I ended up marketing myself on the net. I was the homecoming queen, captian of varsity squad. I'm cute! I'm normal. So what am I doing here?

The answer is easy...I'm addicted to shopping!

That's basically what we are doing here right? Shopping for friends, perhaps more,as we do shoes or a vacation. From photos and a few choice quotes we decide to "add to cart" or in this case, add to life. A bit more drastic maybe but I'm a "what the hell" kinda girl!

Almost all my friends have tried one of these sites before, they've all done it. My friend Jane didn't pay for one meal last month. You go Jane!

(that wasn't nice was it? Sorry. She's clever. You can't take that away from her!)

What I want to know is if so many people are doing this, why is it that when I tell people about a chat I had or a funny blog I read, they look at me as though I have a booger in my nose.

There's 40 Million people on-line. I personally belong to three sites. I take pride im my profile. I think it helps me weed through the crap, personal assistant for the social arena more or less.

I call myself tz4fun, it's been my email handle since I was 16. In a sense, I wear it like a medal of honor. Not that I get some sort of sick pleasure out of teasing people. But let's be honest, if you send me a picture of your shirtless torso or if there is a guy named "Rick" that looks freakishly like David Beckham, you're asking for it!

I just get a thrill out of meeting as many people as I can. Chatting to strangers, chatting till they no longer seem strange. It's almost like a soap opera. A million mini stories within one huge series. A place where people come and go and anything can happen.

I'm not nieve but I am comfortable here. Sometimes I get too comfortable (think twice about buying a webcam as it tends to nurture your inner exhibitionist...don't ask)

Anyway, I want to say that I'm a huge supporter of people. I collect them. All shapes, sizes and colors. I can promise to entertain you with my antics as I'm clumbsy in love, high on life...a bit intense and a lot impulsive. I'm spoiled and seductive with a dry, blunt humor. I lack that part of the brain that allows me to candy coat things so my apologies if my posts are not PC or G rated.

Get to know me...you'll have a blast!

Anyway, before I go let me leave you with some "cyber supplements":

First, if you see a hot guy/girl on this site, think twice about sending a "what brings somoene like you to a place like this" email.

Second, unless you're positive you are chatting with an actual celebrity on the red carpet, it might be considered offensive to ask someone what they are wearing.

and third, always check my blog as I tend to get myself into some sticky situations with this stuff. Curious? (watch for my next blog titled: 35 days...they might end up making a movie about this one someday)

  1. I couldn't have said it better myself. I'm a guy (obviously) and rejected the notion of internet dating/communities/interaction as the fabled Last Resort and, frankly, beneath my personal expectation. That however, has changed. It's actually turning into a great tool for meeting people, particularly for transplants from urban environments to somewhat more rural climes. Besides, where else are you going to be able to actually pick through photos and details of a person as though you are at a sidewalk sale.
    Bravo to the inventor of the concept, regardless of what that person's intentions were (likely getting laid on a Saturday nite when the Star Trek marathon wasn't on), he/she has done a great service for a society used to 'fast food' living.

    And of course, there's the added benefit of being able to transcend the typical boundries of geography when meeting new people.
    I think we should erect a statue or something in that person's honor, sans the pocket protector.
