Thoughts on the Internet

Tonight, I was again stricken with soul crushing boredom. I set about to defeat my boredom using the only tool I had at my disposal, The Internet. Youtube, Netflix, Xbox Live, all perfectly good cures for teenage boredom but tonight I wanted something new. Chatroulette used to be an interesting option, but we all got tired of seeing creepy dudes masterbaiting on camera. I therefore made the choice to enter into the world of Omegle. The idea is exactly the same, however, the option exists to only have a text conversation. No video, therefore no penis, I great feature in my mind. As I began my quest I encountered a similar crowd as in Chatroulette, however their modus operoti (or how ever its spelled) was different. They ask "asl?" rudely, without even saying hello. When I responded 18 M NJ they would instantly disconnect. The scientist in me began an experiment, I would type 18, press enter, then pause type NJ, pause, then M. It was (as i suspected) the fact that I was a guy that caused them to disconnect.
I suppose trolling the chat site for girls is better then showing your junk to everyone, but it still bothered me. I simply wanted to have a nice conversation with someone, connect in whatever way the internet allowed, and have some faith restored in the people on the internet. We all know that the internet is filled with creepy "stranger danger" type people, but I am over joyed to say that tonight I met someone who was not. I had a lengthy conversation with a girl from Canada. We talked about a whole lot of topics ranging from music to the Trailer Park Boys. It was such a relief to find a normal, sane, non sex crazed person on the Omegle. It really restored my faith in Internet users and the Internet itself. She did not even think it was weird that I loved girl bands. In fact Tegan and Sara and this girl are from the same country. Canada seems like an awesome place, I met many a Canadian at Sasquatch and they all rocked. I might have to move there some day or at least have a home #4 or 5 there. I also found a meme tonight call karate kyle, its a nerdy looking kid in karate garb, and the captions usually relate to killing bullys who took his lunch money. I was never picked on, and I never had glasses. None the less I am pretty stoaked that there is a meme with my name.
Thanks a Bunch Internet
