2. I think we're exhibitionists exhibiting our inner worlds, our perfectly true and valid, colourful and vibrant inner selves that don't generally get to see the light of day in this grey modern world. A cross between those two viewpoints you mentioned, in other words.
Exhibitionists? Hardly. You can choose how much info to reveal/conceal on those sites. They're "networking" sites, which are supposed to help you find like-minded people to join groups with and work on projects with, or just hook up for sex with. If neither of these elderly ladies get that, they're totally obtuse. You have to put yourself out there, to some degree, to find other people who are going to join your groups and help you out (or hook up with you). The more you conceal, the less people know about who you are and what your intentions are. I don't think it's about exhibitionism at all, though it can be (who really needs to upload 1,000+ photos of themselves?!). People who aren't from this generation just don't get that technology can be used for really simple reasons, like finding out the address of the caf you've never been to, or the time the next bus is coming, or finding someone to help work on your indie magazine. Like kids used to say in the 70s: Don't trust anyone over 30.
whirling dervishes...we are...spinning while pictures and flashes of color surround our conceived notion of self.
At the end of dancing, we sit down dizzy and write.
Hehe. Well, you're the only one who's bugged me about it, proving that you really wanted the job, so you're the squeaky wheel who gets the grease... or the job, as the case may be.
Don't forget a black beret.
1. Uh-huh. My head hurts.
