Making Friends on the Internet

Okay, so a little while ago I did a post about how I didn't know how to talk to people on Omegle and how my one friend meets a lot of cool people on there and I wanted to do that too and blah, blah, blah. Yeah, people on Omegle are creepy. For the most part. I've had a lot better luck typing "Reddit" into the interests thing.

But that got me thinking, if I'm meeting all these cool people on Omegle from Reddit... I'm sure there's lots of cool people ON Reddit too.

So I've recently taken up to shooting a PM to people I stumble upon that I find interesting. I actually do this as opposed to replying as a public comment most times. If I reply to their comment I find that I don't really have anything to message them about later (duh, because I wind up using that conversation thread), and I feel awkward PMing them after the fact saying "Wow I think you're really cool, we should be friends!". I find that it works better for me to PM them, have whatever conversation I was going to have, and then suggest we become Facebook friends or something of the sort.

That method has been working out pretty well for me thus far =]

And Again.. WHAT THE FUCK, LAW & ORDER?

Some 15 year old girl from a rich family gets killed by her sister, and when the older sister confesses the mother is like "Ohhh, it's okay Mercedes!" Like what the hell? If my mom was sitting with me and I was like "I murdered my sister" she'd be like "Ew, WTF get away from me" or SOMETHING. Okay, maybe she'd be in shock and just not have a reaction. But.. Just.. Not THAT reaction.

And it doesn't help that the entire reason the 20-something year old girl killed her sister is that she had sex with her fiance' (who's also from a wealthy family).

Cool, thanks for my morning dose of rape, Law & Order. Thanks.

What the Hell, Law & Order?

It's almost six in the morning here, and we have Dish network so it's infomercials galore right now. Sidenote, never, EVER get Dish. It's like the worst provider ever. Most channels switch to infomercials after midnight. The remaining channels don't really broadcast much longer, most succumbing to infomercials by 2am. Which really kind of super sucks for insomniacs...

Anyway. There's nothing to watch here right now, so I'm stuck watching Law & order and BOY is it dumb.

Apparently there's some lady whose.. Son killed two people, is essentially certifiably crazy, and has been deemed "genetically criminal"? And then the son's mother was testifying at his trial and she's pregnant and the lawyer questioning her basically tells her that her next baby is probably "genetically criminal" too (like what the fuck, is that actually a thing?) and she should abort it.

Wuttttt?

Da fuq is that shit? This show is bad. And they should feel bad.

AW OH MY GOD I JUST SAW YOUR BLOG POST ABOUT ME I LOVE YOU SO MUCH WE'RE ADORABLE <3 <3 <3

I'm so sorry for us not talking that much though, as you've seen it was because I was away =[ But it's okay, because I'm back now and we've resumed our regular schedule of talking and hanging out most every day!

I love you so much oh my god I need to write another blog post about you soon ahhhh <33333333333

Dating

For whatever reason, people I break up with don't seem to understand that I don't want to date them anymore.. I don't understand why, because I'm pretty explicitly clear with all of them that we're breaking up. Then we both do our own thing for a while, and eventually we start talking again. I don't mind talking to people I've broken up with. I don't dislike them, it just wasn't working out dating-wise. I'm perfectly fine being friends with said people, but after a little while of talking to me they get all "LOL, Jamie you're the coolest person I've dated in a while and I really kind of want to date you again". But... No...

I don't want to be a jerk, I don't enjoy letting these people down. But I don't pussy foot around it either. I'm very clear with them that I like being friends with them, and that I don't want to date them again because it didn't work out the first time. So it's not as though they're getting mixed signals from me.

Sometimes they ask if we can be "friends with benefits" and I agree to that, but long before anything ever happens they pull a bait and switch of sorts on me and get all "Well really if we're friends and you want to make out, we may as well just date again."

Guys, I don't want to date you. I'm just a whore. Sorry..

I guess It's Time I Owe You a Post on Here.

Helllo, August. Wow, I haven't seen Jamie since like mid-June.. =/

So remember when I said I was going to make you that whole video thing? I kept screwing it up like a half hour into the video, and redoing it over and over again wastes too much time.

Plus, I can spend a few hours going off in deep description on how much you mean to me, but like, I know you're too busy to really respond to it... and you'll probably call me a bitch, so I'll just fuck that. 

I feel really disconnected to you right now. I mean, it could be because you're in Europe, but then again, as you said, you've grown up quite a lot this year, and you've become a lot more of an independent person.

It's a good thing. I'm proud of you actually =]

I definitely sound like a little ol' attention whore here, but even though things are going really well for you, and you're making a lot of new friends, don't ever forget this girl here.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But anyway, when my phone broke back in April or May or whatever, I decided to read through all my text conversations with the people in my phone. Some things make me sad.. and others still warmed my heart.. but I know I'll get too cheesy if I keep writing about it, so I'll just stop here. =P

Ours started sometime last may when I wanted to thank you for this (even though we hadn't had deep conversation in well over a year at the time of when the text was sent):

.

and then I read over how our friendship slowly grew stronger over the first couple of months to the point where you became one of the most important people in my life.

And since you were there for that every step of the way, I guess I need not say more.

Thank you.

My Sleeping Pattern is Horrible =/

For the past four phones I haven't went to bed any sooner than 3am.

Three out of four of those days I went to bed past 5am.
