I have a real problem with this whole online friendship thing. It just doesnt make any sense to me. You go in and upload your personality through these elaborate lists of things youre into and people seek you out through search engines so that you can communicate through online journal entries and every once in a while, a chatroom if youre lucky. But even then theres still a computer between the two of you. This eliminates the possibility of all the off the cuff remarks that kill most friendships.

Take just the other day for instance. Theres this guy I know, in real life, and we were hanging out in my house together. We were horsing around and I through some food at him as a joke. The food happened to be meat, and he happened to be a vegetarian. Apparently this was a really big deal and even though I apologized, he still didnt forgive me. Now, if we only got a chance to communicate through the internet, he would never have found out what an asshole I am and I would have never found out what a pussy he is.

And I know that even posting this makes me a hypocrite. But the bottom line is that its two AM, Im alone, I cant sleep, and all my real life friends are martyr vegetarian sympathizers. Perhaps real life isnt all its cracked up to be either. Oh, Sicily, youre my moon goddess.
