OH MY GOD, PEOPLE ARE SO JAMMING ANNOYING!

I so need to be a hermit.

And yet here you are, willingly putting yourself into the thick of it...

No, "chatting" on the Internet doesn't count. Being a hermit and a postwhore are not mutually exclusive. If I had to do this in real life, I'd have been rocking in the fetal position in a corner somewhere, moaning softly and begging the voices to stop by page 2 1/2.

Time for a quick afternoon check-in. I'm sure I missed a lot of fluff - will look over everything when I get home, tonight.

best thing about the internet is you can shut it off.

But you can't.

The internet can't be stopped.

It's everywhere all at once.

All the time.

Terrifying when you think about it.

In fact, I'd go so far as to say that being a hermit and postwhoring on the interwebs actually fit quite well together. Being a hermit doesn't necessarily mean you don't want people to hear what you have to say--you just don't want to have to actually INTERACT with them in order to voice all your amazing wit and insight. The internet has been a godsend for people like that.

Agreed.

It's not necessarily the interaction - it's the face-to-face interaction that just exhausts me, and I get total sensory overload when I'm out of the house all day. I'm quite sensitive to sound - both negatively and positively. The few sounds that I love can calm me in a second. Unfortunately, there are FAR more sounds that stress me out to no end. For example, I have a co-worker who has the most awful wheezing, cackling laugh and it is LOUD. And she thinks EVERYTHING is funny. I'm serious. This is a direct quote: "So the conference is in Oswego. That's on Lake Ontario." WHEEZE WHEEZE CACKLE WHEEZE.

That's not even funny!

All friggin' day.

Hi Charlie! You've been missing my post-modern malaise!

 

[limr17]

Since I posted about the co-worker, I have heard the wheeze 10 times and the cackle three times.

well, you know how you are into photography and taking photos of people over and over really annoys them...

THIS sound makes me happy, and it's one of the reasons I now want a pet porcupine:
